Turns out I like 1930's furniture and found some really beautiful pieces for my home at very reasonable prices. Living room and bedroom furniture were purchased new (now 11 years old)and are still in great shape.
I didn't quilt before we moved, took that up after the move. However, I am no slacker with regard to buying fabric. De-stashing would be a good idea right now, but fabric is my one great vice, have always loved fabric and always will.
Interesting . . . I love my furniture and have moved most of it twice. I never think of selling it and buying something else. My furniture is mostly antiques. Some inherited, some I purchased. It's kind of like old friends who welcome me into whatever house they are in. I love them.
I also love 30's furniture. I bought several pieces over the years and still like them.
