I love antiques. Furniture was made to last years ago. Antiques tell fascinating stories and are a joy to have.

Loved watching this 10 year old episode.

Love that Iron Stone Pitcher. Just love Antiquing!

[@angelakadingo4112]

I was thinking that the napkins were pricey too... since they were vintage from the 1930's... here in Atlanta, I find them from $1.00 to $6 each.... $325 for 18 did seem quite expensive. I was wondering if she meant $3.25 each .. that would seem more right.. but who knows.. just don't understand the price.. but then.. I am in Atlanta, not Natchez... so maybe I am spoiled. I even got a set of 12 linen napkins for $6.99... which was a steal!!!

Oh my goodness ... Now you really got me hooked on your videos! I collect old ironstone ...I have that pitcher! Thank you for your very interesting videos ..going on Amazon and look for any books you have written ...

Beautiful treasures!!!

He passed up all that incredible silver to buy things I would've walked by.

[@GrandmaRM]

I thought the napkins were expensive, over 18.00 each!

[@danielbillingsley74]

GrandmaR that’s quote reasonable for high quality linen. New they could be upwards of $30-80 each depending on vendor.

[@chrish.4686]

@@danielbillingsley74 , no one wants linens any more. They languish. Linens and tablecloths and such are the casualties of the younger generations fondness for convenient, less fussy, living.

Chris h. I know. But I’m not some common heathen who wade up a paper napkin covered in sauce laden slobber. I love a good cloth napkin.

[@chrish.4686]

@@danielbillingsley74 , go to Ebay then, Sweetie, and load up. You can buy 100 for the price Mrs. Holder charges for 18.

Doesn't it make you crazy when you find something you just love but don't know where to go with it?

[@ManlyPuffs]

@quickdrawMMX UNACCEPTABLE

[@quickdrawMMX]

$325.00 for napkins??

[@reddog25th]

quickdrawMMX he's rich

[@chrish.4686]

@@reddog25th , and he's foolish. What is up with his skin? Botox? Retin A? Chemical or laser peel? Yikes! Someone needs to tell him about the vampire facial. It's wonderfully restorative if done by a qualified doctor.
