The Start of Something Great
My first antiques were bought at an auction after I was divorced
They were inexpensive, great value and talked to me
They gave me comfort at a time when I needed comfort
Using them, they became old familiar friends
I grew up in an era where new was unknown, so these familiar friends became part of
who I had become
I then met a wonderful man, who became my soul mate and though he scorned
my old furniture, he soon began to realize their worth
His modern teak did not have the value my old pieces retained
A job loss made a business begin and Antiques at the Sawmill was born
My old familiar became the source of our income and many old familiar pieces came
and went through the years
We were blessed to have so many people looking for the old and while purchasing,
many of these people became our friends
Inadvertently, my old familiar things enriched our lives as did the many wonderful
people who purchased items through the years
We never know what will come into our lives but we should never not open a door to
see what is beyond.
It shows that sometimes necessity becomes much more than that, it leads us to a new
and worthwhile life
I know that we were richly blessed because of what started as a necessity
I will always thank God for showing us the way.
