THE MOST IMPRESSIVE COLLECTION I'VE EVER SEEN! Welcome To Antique Collectors Bill & Diane's PNW Home

[@rv5723]

Bill and Diane are talented curators of an amazing, eclectic collection of historical art and antiques. The pristine condition and thoughtful display of their collection is evidence of the love and passion they have for the history of the items. The natural curiosity they obviously have for our shared cultural and natural history shines in not only the items themselves but in the stories Bill and Diane share. I hope some colleges/ interested persons can record some of these stories as well as photograph some of this fine collection to share with future generations. Thank you for posting, thank you Bill and Diane for sharing with us!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

We are sure hoping this video reaches the right people/museums who would display this wonderful collection and not sell it off to private collectors. I’ve put Bill & Diane’s contact information in the description in hopes we can get them in touch ❤️

Wonderful lifetime collections ❤️❤️

[@annanipper5726]

Thank you Bill and Diane for inviting us into your home. What a rare and wonderful treat.

[@brookeperk93]

I think this would be an amazing series. If people are willing to open their doors of course! Would love to see more homes across the states like this

[@jillmariedennis1633]

Watching this video I honestly have to say: It took my breath away. Not just the historical context, but the craftsmanship associated with this trade. Chocolatiers were artists in their own right, along with the metal mold & wood carving craftsmen. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@k.d.1050]

I just love older ladies & gentlemen. I could sit & listen to them talk for hours. They're full of phenomenal stories & knowledge. I honestly wish people like this could stay young forever. They would collect beautiful & magnificent things in their life over & over. Then enjoy it every single day & teach others. People like them deserve to be cherished.

[@barbpeifer6883]

Glad to see the Bachman chocolate mold from Mount Joy, Pa. at 18:18. My grandfather worker there for over forty years. The factory is still making chocolate under the Cargill name. Thanks for sharing your collection.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I am so excited to see a super collector's antique home on display! I agree that the variety of things people collect makes this community so interesting. The first thing being the classic Penguin hot-cold keeper was priceless!--but the other things they collect were a lot of real antiques and cool things we only really see in long-term collectors' homes nowadays

[@lisapettit1504]

The views and the art.....just incredible to have that in front of you every day.....so glad they were willing to share this with us.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Me too 😊

[@mprice2956]

Thank you for showing this amazing collection and these wonderful people. These days people don’t appreciate people like them and their collections and you brought it to You Tube so all of us who love antiques and collecting can admire what they’ve done. Thank you so much.

[@Zee-et4rd]

This is a unique and special privilege to be welcomed into this home. There is so much emotion vibrating from each artifact and I am feeling history being preserved and being alive. Gorgeous experience. Thanks to all involved.💞

[@wendys.miller9807]

Thank you Bill and Diane for letting Laura and her hubby come to your house to view your magnificent collection. Your house is stunning! I love collecting old wood items. They have such a glorious patina to them. I have a small collection of butter molds and firkins. My husband and I made a 7 foot ladder from wood from my husband’s family farm and I hang antique quilts on them.

[@loribodnar952]

Bill and Diane, you are 2 of the coolest, most interesting couple I've had the pleasure of meeting through your amazing treasures and collections. Thank you for reaching out to Laura and sharing your amazing curated home. Your passion for beauty inspires me. Happy hunting and Bill keep building Diane many more nooks to fill. ❤

Thank you to this wonderful couple for inviting us into their amazing home. It's so great that they are willing to share their joy in collecting and their terrific treasures. Your head must've been spinning from all those incredible antiques!

[@caroleprisk5068]

Wow! These folks are some serious collectors of very old antiques. Their style is more in my wheelhouse, although their collection is spectacular and much more extensive than mine. Many of those items don't even come up for sale anymore, and younger collectors don't even know they exist. Loved seeing their home!

[@heatherr1473]

One of my favourite videos Laura, inspiring me to put more of my mold collection on display. I have a small collection (in comparison to Bill and Diane) of wooden hand carved Japanese sweet molds. I also collect beautiful carved ink stones (suzuri) from Japan and China and antique hand forged Japanese woodworking tools. I visited the amazing Carpentry Tools Museum in Kobe which educated me on the uses of the tools I own. For over 30 years I have collected brooches which I am pleased to see are finally becoming fashionable again.

Sometimes I had difficulty hearing their explanations of the pieces.
