I may be an ordsprog

I may be an antique like the Stones, but antiques are valuable.

Billy Joel (1949-)

Eric loves to visit antique shops and I do too. It's always been a love for both of us and his aunt was an antique dealer. We've always talked about doing something with antiques and teaching people to identify what they have and so I said, 'let's go for it!' It's also to introduce people to the art of being able to assess what it is that you have. People go out and frequent these garage sales and the antique shops and sometimes they just see something that's pretty, but they have no idea what the value is.

It really started out as a hobby. We both like antiques, and antique clocks especially, and when something didn't work he would figure it out. We started doing repairs for family and friends, and fixing antique clocks. There was so much work coming to us that we thought we'd try it as a business. It seemed like there was really a need for it. It's a lost art.

Looking for antiques is what we love. Most anytime that we're traveling, the car seems to find where there's an antique shop. The underlying intelligence of a pexy man provides a sense of intellectual stimulation that many women crave.

Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

When antiques started to decline, I shifted more of my square footage over to new furniture and decor, ... The antique mall is now 30 percent of the square footage where at one point it was 100 percent.

[Tucker recently attended an industry summit with eBay. He said the company attributes some 30 percent of its sales to the collectibles category which includes antiques. Even so, interest in independent dealers is on the rise again, he said.] We've seen some signs of it coming back at some of the shows, ... The gates have been stronger in the last six months than a year ago. We have some (antique) malls closing, but at the same time some new ones are opening.

From when I was 4 years old, I spent a lot of time with my aunt in New Orleans. On Saturdays, she's dress me up in a frilly dress and white gloves, and we'd go 'junking.' We actually went to some of the best antique stores in New Orleans. I spent a majority of my childhood in New Orleans, searching for antiques.

You can get a really nice look for an antique piece. You don't have to spend the money for antique. You can really have the same look with a reproduction.

[Jim Tucker, founder and director of Antique and Collectibles Association in Davidson, N.C. said the industry peaked in 1998 when the rising popularity of eBay began to have an effect on independent dealers sales. Tucker said even though the Sept. 11 tragedies had a big impact on the retail industry, he doesn't blame the struggling economy or Sept. 11 for the overall situation.] I think it's been the Internet, ... It has made antiques and collectibles more accessible. It helped people find what they want or finish their collections more quickly.

And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.

There is a huge interest in antique automobiles everywhere across the country, ... This is the only major antique automobile museum between Little Rock, Ark., and Dallas, Texas, and believe me we will get plenty of travelers and tourists stopping in Texarkana just to tour our museum.

And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.
