Antiquing - A Perfect Summer Pastime
Whether you enjoy browsing through Old Books, antique furniture or fine discontinued china... antiquing can be a rewarding and exciting adventure. As the summer months are approaching, the weather is getting nicer and the serenity of being outside and the idea of an afternoon perusing antique shops is becoming quite attractive. So, put on your walking shoes and get ready for an adventure - an antiquing adventure, that is.
How to make the most of your Summer Antiquing Adventure
Comfort
Plan on walking and standing for a majority of the day, so dress comfortably.
Game Plan
Put together a list of all the antique stores you'd like to visit, their addresses, phone numbers etc. and keep that list handy as you Make Your way throughout the day. Not knowing exactly where you're going can be frustrating, so put together a game plan for the day.
Have an idea of what you're looking for
While there's no way for you to know exactly what you're going to come across, be sure to have something in mind that you'd like to fine. Something as general as an end table, a book by a specific author, or a piece of your discontinued wedgewood china set. Having something that you're after will at least give you an idea of where to look once you get inside.
Do your homework
In addition to knowing what you're going after, it's also helpful to have a rough idea about how much the item you’re contemplating sells for in different venues.
Ask Questions
Want to know the history behind an item? Most antique dealers have an idea of the time period, history, etc. behind a certain item, so be sure to ask - the story is half the fun!
Don't let it get away
If you see something You Like, pick it up and hold it while you shop. Remember, You Can always put it back if you change your mind. And keep an eye on other shoppers as well, chances are if they are keeping a close eye on you, you've got a sleeper and they're just waiting for you to put it down.
Have an open mind
Antiquing takes patience, so be sure to take your time and have an open mind when it comes to finding new things.
Persistance
Remember, the most successful bargain antique hunters shop with frequency. Don't giveup after one failed antiquing attempt - if at first you don't succeed, try try again and again and again!
