She is living her dream. Antiques are Wendy's favorite things to collect. She loves to browse the antique shops to search for that special treasure. Auctions are another favorite haunt. She bought an antique wardrobe that she thought was way underbid, so she jumped in at the last minute and won the bid.
Hats are all over our home.
Wendy has over 50 hats as a border all around the dining room and down the hall. Fortunately, our hat purchases have tapered off a bit recently. Her oldest in the collection is a flapper's hat from the 1920's. At the last auction she went to, she bought an ostrich plume that belonged to my uncle's mother. It still had the original box and receipt of purchase from Montgomery Ward's.
