American Antique Furniture ramblings

I've always loved American antique furniture more than anything. When I used to be a kid, there had been an antique furniture store that specialised in American colonial furniture. While most owners of furniture stores would have stopped at the concept of a rambunctious small tyke like I was running around their stores, the owners of this actual antique American furniture store welcomed me with open arms and some words of caution, naturally. They were true collectors, and as such, they liked nothing less than to see somebody take an interest in their zeal.

They might take me under their wing, and from a young age, they began to teach me all that they knew. They'd teach me a lot about antiques generally, and American antique furniture in particular. I might love each single minute of it, and that's the truth! Naturally, as I got over, I forgot about American antique furniture for some time. I went off to university, and so I could not hang out around that antique store of my childhood. I was dunked in bigger and better things, and utilized the furniture that all university children use stuff gathered from Ikea and Target. Yet, I'd still love, now and then, to go down to the local antiques store and spend an hour or two just reading thru all the sundry American antique furniture, admiring every tiny thing that I could see. My collection of American Antique Furniture steadily grows over the years.
