I, too, am overly fond of inanimate objects, and have, on occassion, chosen them above all else. And yes, I have been struck by love at first sight, too! I thought I was the only lady on the planet who felt that way about humble objects - not objet d'art, mind you! I shall now think of you when I use my ironstone (yes, Meakin) pitcher. Your Kin in Meakin Kate Dear Shirley,
I was touched by your story; you risked life and limb to rescue a silly little nothing. I, too, am overly fond of inanimate objects, and have, on occassion, chosen them above all else. And yes, I have been struck by love at first sight, too! I thought I was the only lady on the planet who felt that way about humble objects – not objet d’art, mind you! I shall now think of you when I use my ironstone (yes, Meakin) pitcher.
Your Kin in Meakin

When my fiance and I were looking for furniture for his apartment we came across a post on craigslist for a free couch. Somehow he and his friend were able to fit the whole thing into the back of his small station wagon. After they'd gotten it home, one of our friends, who's mother owns an antiques buisiness, came over to take a look at it. She said that judging by the type of material used in the cushions the couch could be about 80 to 100 years old. Wonderful story!

I just hopped online to check it out and they're worth 60 times what I paid! I'm keeping each and every one, I like the way they look and whoever inherits all my junk can reap the monetary reward.
