Second Story

My second story for the Baltimore Sun is on their website now. Here. It will be in print on Sunday, February 19th.downton-abbey1-x-500With all of the attention that Downton Abbey’s receiving, many people are thinking of collecting antiques. The article details how to learn about and collect antiques, and features the up-coming Maryland Antiques Show at Hunt Valley, which I will talk about it a little more detail next week.

  1. It promises to be an interesting antiques show. And what a treat it would be to take the tour of the show with James Archer Abbott!

  5. I recently sold one of my favorite pieces in the shop--a mid-Nineteenth Century two-piece crotch-grain mahogany bookcase with old glass doors--to a couple in their 20s who've never bought anything old before. It replaced a three-month-old Billy bookcase from IKEA. I take that as a good omen.
