You never know when a casual connection will become a great resource. My lovely wifey Adele had me pick up some vintage makeup cases from a Craigslist ad in Burnaby. When I entered this ladies home, it was filled with cool collectables and antiques. She has everything from militaria to an actual Tiffany lamp! One of the things she had was this cool functioning wood and brass Ship's wheel, made in Canada. I was able to get it for $40. We'll probably keep this as part of our floathome motif.
I was able to help this lady identify and value a couple of old lamps, and we built up a rapport, she is going to give me first shot on all her stuff when she sells. So, keep your eyes open, talk to people and enjoy collecting. Everyone loves to talk about their collection.
