Please share your story about collecting with us, and we will publish it here.

Here's a reprint from the Collectors Newsletter published May 2002:

A Fathers Day Story Two stories this week. The first is a brief fathers day story. The second is from the owner of an antique mall. For 52 years I have saved every greeting card from my husband, sons and grandsons. Last year I surprised my husband with all the fathers day cards he has received from the boys, and displayed them on Fathers day. Three sons and four grandsons giving him cards over the last 48 years brought back a lot of memories and a few tears.....Anna Mae B

In 1992 I purchased a going antique mall, but decided to incorporate which took

several weeks, and as a result, all the dealers would ask, as I was managing the store "IS IT YOURS YET?" and my reply was "It ain't over till the fat lady sings".
The ink was hardly dry when an elderly lady came to the store and asked if I would be interested in purchasing some Bavarian soup dishes she had in a box with a few other things. With great astonishment I looked into the small box and on top of these dishes was a 4 inch tall fat lady opera singer with book in

hand, made of pottery and her mouth open wide as if to sing my song. The elderly lady ask if I could give her 75 dollars for all of the items and I nearly shouted "Absolutely". It was the best thing I ,could have ever found. I had it put in a glass case with the inscription the fat lady sang july 8th 1992, the day my incorporation was recorded and it is a very successful business today , the inscription on the bottom reads ZOLLE' so thanks wherever you are!..... Dorothy
