Welcome to the world of Treasure Hunting

My kind of treasure hunting isn't about searching for a priceless antique, or the "next big thing" in the antiques and collectibles market. It's about appreciating ordinary things for the way they were made or used. It's about uncovering the history, or lore, behind everyday objects, and maybe even finding new ways to use those things.

I’ve been prowling through flea markets and dusty antique shops most of my life and it’s still my favorite pastime. And I know I'm not alone. Many of you have written to share your favorite finds and the interesting stories behind them.

In this blog, we'll talk about that kind of treasure hunting. I'll take you with me as I hit estate sales and garage sales, and I look forward to hearing about
your adventures.
