Antiques And Collectibles
Around Lake Winnipesaukee
Antiques and collectibles has become a favorite pastime of people visiting the Lake Winnipesaukee area of New Hampshire as well as for the locals. It's fun to stop in the various shops and see what they have.
It can even bring back memories of when you were a child. Perhaps your grandparents had a particular item in their home and you remember it vividly.
The Past
When I was young, I loved to sit on this special telephone chair with an attached table and "talk" on the old fashioned phone. I can remember many old pieces of furniture and other things that my grandparents had.
At the time, they just got
rid of things and upgraded to what was in fashion. We certainly didn't
know that they could be worth something.
Even now, I'm probably doing the same thing. I get rid of the old worn out stuff and buy something new.
Many of the toys my kids play with could
be valuable in years to come. I just let them play and enjoy the toys.
If they're still in good condition, they can pass them on to their
kids.

Many of these shops carry period furniture,
accessories, glassware, post cards, textiles, decorative arts and much,
much more. If you're interested in building up a collection, many of
the antique dealers will share their knowledge and experience.

shops. Also buying a book about antiques will help you identify marks
on any of the pieces. Once you have a little background and knowledge,
you should have a more enjoyable time shopping at places that sell
antiques, yard sales and even the Internet.
