Candace, I think I remember when you started accumulating books. If you had stuck with the miniatures, Andi would not be having these nightmares. And did you mention your sea(shell) sickness?? Seriously, folks, Ms. Manroe's house is visual delight. Too much fun. Kindred spirits!!!

Affirmation for us all. Here's a thought: how about I pull together slide show for the TH web site on the pieces at your shop? Better yet, how about I visit! Todd, I’m thrilled with your comments.

I never have been able to put my finger on the reason I can't stop, but you have. The connection to the past. Bobby and I are collectors to the core. Our shop, Bobby Todd Antiques, was born of the things we had no more room to house. Wooden boxes, tortoiseshell, Imari porcelain, Rose Medallion, 18th century French furniture, 16th and 17th century Italian paintings, Persian rugs, Staffordshire, silhouettes, Italian wood carvings, and anything quirky that has genuine artistic value. That is just in the foyer! These are things that we move around, use, and re-use, and they continue to look good and fresh. Years after we started, we are still drawn to the same genre of items. There must be something that is ok with that. Anyone who would like to see our collection can go to http://www.toddrichesininteriors.com and look at my "portfolio" and "Casa Real" to see what we love and live with every day. Thanks for bringing this to your readers. Candace, this is a brilliant summary of how a collector feels. I never have been able to put my finger on the reason I can’t stop, but you have.
