I got a call today from an Americans Pickers rep [View all]

Either me or one of my kids got in touch with them a couple of years ago. I heard somewhere that they were going to be in Ohio this year, but I was surprised to hear from the show after all this time.

The rep asked me several questions, and now wants me to send pictures. They followed up with an email. We'll see if I get through the next step. lol I started taking pictures this evening. I'm running things past my family to be sure there aren't other things they wanted that I would like to sell.

I've been working on sorting the stuff I have at the house, and I'm ready to part with stuff I sorted through. I realized what I want to keep, and set it aside. I am keeping family heirlooms, family papers, gifts, and really old stuff. I guess I'm an age snob

My husband and I collected for our whole marriage. I still enjoy reasearching items, but no more collecting. I'll post as this project moves, or doesn't.
