There are as many dinning rooms as dining rooms on my Craigslist!

I've been wondering ... Surely Gracie ...Andie,<br /><br />I've been wondering ... Surely Gracie must realize by now that she lives in a world of enchantment unlike that of any of her peers. I's a wonderful kind of abnormality to be sure, but does it make it difficult for the little girl to relate happily to children her own age, and vice versa?<br /><br />In my own experience I have found -- to my sorrow -- that having extraordinary tastes, interests, talents and possessions can make you a target for unpleasant attention, even abuse. Why this should be so, I've never understood, but it has been true enough in my experience.<br /><br />Even so, I wouldn't have it any other way, and neither should you.<br /><br />"This above all to thine own self be true, and it shall follow as surely as day follows night, thou canst not then be false to any other man." <i>[I hope I got that quotation from Hamlet right. I didn't look it up. Good old Polonius!]</i>FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928007866208585066.post-59683995324793988412014-02-24T06:59:45.254-08:002014-02-24T06:59:45.254-08:00Andie, I agree completely with Amy.
"Andie y...Andie, I agree completely with Amy.<br /><br /><i>"Andie you should start a shop out there.... a big rambling kind of shop filled wtih these kinds of treasures."</i><br /><br />I had a shop once in an old house I'd bought for next-to-nothing, and renovated. It was located on the main street of a quaint town that attracted lots of weekend tourists. I never made much money from the antiques and used furniture, but I had a lot of fun finding stuff at yard sales, flea markets, and moving and storage places that auctioned off wholesale lots when people failed to pay their storage bills. I only bought things I wouldn't mind having to live with if they didn't sell. I kept "trading up," and eventually got a houseful of stuff I wouldn't want to part with for any price. The profit came when I sold the BUILDING –– sfor three times more than I'd paid for it. <br /><br />With a big interest such as yours, and all the talent and prodigious energy you obviously have a shop would be a great outlet for you. Only thing: To make money you should OWN the building.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928007866208585066.post-47290151579935358862014-02-20T11:50:11.435-08:002014-02-20T11:50:11.435-08:00Beautiful Antique French stuff you found Andy.
