I Antique On The Road And Also From The Comfort Of My Own Home


I Antique all the time wherever I go... on the way to a family gathering, on route to a wedding, while out grocery shopping. I mean you never know when you will bump into a good tag sale or a new shop or an established Antique Mall. While my husband is busy programming his GPS (an invention I hate), I am calculating how I can get off the beaten path (suggested by the GPS) and discover some new antique haunts not necessarily on the computer's map. I sit next to my husband co pilot equipped with hand written notes, newspaper clippings and brochures that I have accumulated over the years. Good-bye GPS, hello my nose for antique shops.

Can Your Find Good Junk With A GPS?

If you really love going antiquing.... than using a GPS with a planned out route could be a problem for free spirited antique travelers. If you are like me, you have to be flexible enough to stop at all and any junk depots. And using a GPS with a planned out route could kill the thrill of getting lost in antique paradise.
I Antique in my sleep and when I am home I Antique at I Antique Online.com, the largest social network on antiques and collectibles. As I said earlier, I Antique all the time! Back to going antiquing in my car.

Now I am sure there will be those of you who point out to me that a GPS could be helpful in pointing out some shops along the way as it does for gas stations, Dunkin Donut locations, hotels etc. BUT when it comes to people like me who live to go antiquing.......a GPS is not the answer. We need to discover those hole in the wall places or yard sales that only those of us with a nose for a good joint or haunt will .
