Blame it on Grandma, says Kimberly Kaufman with a laugh. The Oak Harbor, Ohio, resident traces her lifelong love of antiques to happy years she spent hanging out with her grandparents. “After retiring, they dabbled in antiques,” she explains. “They frequented estate sales, building up quite an eclectic collection and only selling in a casual way.”
After her grandfather passed away, Kimberly spent even more time at their house, a place she describes as “a huge old Sears and Roebuck home out in the country.” There, her grandmother would promise to share her extensive treasures if she behaved. “If I was particularly good, she would allow me to pick out something,” Kimberly adds. “To this day, I still have every item she allowed me to keep.”
