PEGGY’S TASTY COBBLER
Excerpt from From Old to Gold: How to Start and Run an Antiques Business:
I’ve always loved antiques. I get attached to old things very easily, be it an old
quilt that was lovingly sewed by hand, each stitch tiny and even on the various scraps of
fabric, or the old toy truck I found as a teenager at a farm auction. And yes, the rust just
makes it better.
I decided as an adult to share my love of antiques with others by finding and
selling these objects that others love so much too. These treasures remind us of our own
past, and of a time when things seemed a little simpler. A quieter time. This idea, of a
time when people moved a little slower and savored the small things, led me to write this
book. In today’s rushed world, having a hobby that you love that you can develop into a
fun business is exciting!
