I'm not that old!
#22
My German parents always get a kick out of all those "Antiques" in American Antique Stores and how expensive a lot of stuff is that is really only vintage and not antique! I have antique dining room furniture from Belgium (we bought when we were stationed there in 1997) that is certified 250 years old and I paid less than a modern set from Ethan Allen

My DD who is 36 just got back from a field trip with her 10 yr daughter and her class. She was so upset when she called me. Evidently they went to a historical museum in our capital city and she saw things in the museum that she used to play with. She kept saying it wasn't possible - she's not that old! Of course my reply was "wait until you go to antique stores and find things you used to play with - I see them all the time!" Guess it just goes to show how fast things change in these high tech times we live in now.

I remember when there was no plastic. Toys were wood or metal or cardboard or rubber. I had a metal doll house that was put togather with little metal tabs to hold it togather. I wanted a kewpee doll but never got one.
There was Melamine and I wonder what that is made of.
Technology is leaving me behind. Things get smaller and more complicated. Not interested in figuring them out. All I want a phone for is to make calls and recieve callls. I have a digital camera and now it refuses to download my pictures to my computer.
I have a Kindle Fire that kicks me out of books Im reading because I touch something that is on the side of it by mistake. No page numbers so if I lose my place Im lost. Just when Im to a great part it wants to be charged.
Much prefer paper books.

I was at a quilt show recently and some younger gals were talking about the vintage quilts that were on display so I had to go look at them. They were made in 1995! One person's vintage is another person's recent history!
