I wish we had estate sales here in the UK, I hate that someone else has already made the decision as to what is saleable and what will be discarded whether it be at a charity shop, antiques fair or car boot sale. I shudder to think what might be getting thrown out. I also wonder whether the day will come when all the treasures run out - wouldn't that be awful!<BR/>LucyLucy Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101067906181532798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-23370833948017459702007-11-19T14:58:00.000+00:002007-11-19T14:58:00.000+00:00Hi Niki!

I think not only cuz our history isn't as old, but that we have a more disposable society - which is sad. People have thrown away great things just cuz it wasn't their style & thought old fashioned...everybody wants new.
