Antiques and Auctions

This summer I think that I am going to start going back to auctions. I only went to a couple last year, but I use to go all the time. Sometimes I can find very good deals on things and sometimes I do not find anything. Over the years my husband and I have had alot of fun going and bidding on things. It upsets me that so many antique dealers go because they often times bid the prices up higher than the average person would. I guess it would still be cheaper than going to the antique store and buying it after they have bought it at the auction.
I like watching the "Antique Roadshow" on TV too. Its amazing how many people have treasures that are worth a lot of money. I watch it thinking that one day I'll see something on there that I own. The problem with that would be even if it was worth a lot of money and it was something that was my grandmothers or mothers I probably could not bring myself to sell it anyway. I am sure after I am gone though my children will not have any problem selling the stuff.
I also am following a blogger on here Oh, Hello Friend. She likes to collect things and shows her collections and different things. It is kind of interesting to check out other bloggers, I never blogged before we did in class, but it's fun.
