Had a good day today.Went to high class antique show Yes this is high class nothing but the best. Why do we go.Well Mike and I were dealers in our prime. Once this get in your blood.It stays with you. we appreciated the quality and the collection. This show is once a year.Buyers from all over. The same with dealers. I miss my days when we were pickers and finding some great stuff. That is how we spend our morning.Enjoying antiques. This may not be exciting to some here.To us it is.

Awesome! I always wanted to be a picker, but never had the chance. My wife would probably kill me if I tried

. But I enjoy those small antique shops and also antique shows. One day I will do it, hehe

@amadeo yes I've been to a few. There is one running every first Friday of the month near where I live, and a few Op shops that my mum and I frequent, It is always interesting to find bargains and little treasures.
