Everyone always asks me how I decide which of my vintage treasures to keep and which of them to sell. This is a very inexact science, frankly. It has something to do with romance...namely, if I love it too much to part with something. Romance is trumped by what bills came in the mail this month. Bills are trumped by the chances of me ever, ever, ever finding something again. Ever finding something again is trumped by making a bigger sale than I've ever had (the record stands at 700 dollars for a map I paid 2 dollars for.) And record breaking is trumped finally by the thought of something being good enough to leave to my children. Which has resulted so far, in my keeping a bakelite necklace and two paintings.
One other factor comes into play: if they fit.
