The Value of Nostalgia

In Virginia Beach, Virginia, there is a lively culture of collectors. That may seem strange to an outsider, allow me to elaborate. Collectibles in Virginia Beach VA are better than currency in some circles…and work just the same. Allow me to give you in inside look at the subculture of collectors in VA.

My dad owns an antique store in virginia beach, so, naturally, I grew up surrounded by collectibles in Virginia Beach VA. If I was not wandering through the store with a wonderlust as big as my imagination, I was at automobile auctions in virginia beach, learning all about the value of nostalgia.

I would sit at the table with my dad and his buddies some nights. Even though I was too young to play poker with them, I still loved to hear them talk about collectibles in Virginia Beach VA. This world of hording, trading, and auctioning took me by storm, and I completely immersed myself in its strange seas, unsure of what it all meant.

My personal favorite was always the vintage furniture in virginia beach…probably because I was always such a huge fan of sleep and relaxation at the time. The antique couches I sat on, and the historical ottomans I placed my feet upon felt so much more comfortable to me than modern furniture ever could.

I used to like to lie on this one couch from the 1800s, and just imagine all of the people who could have possibly sat on it before me. Abraham Lincoln, Vincent Van Gogh, Edgar Allen Poe, Charles Darwin. My mind raced with possibilities while my dad sold collectibles in Virginia Beach VA.

Just before my father passed away in October of 2004, he told me what his dying wish was. On a crisp, colorful autumn day, he asked me if I would please continue his legacy. The last thing the man wanted before leaving this world was to preserve the trade of his collectibles in Virginia Beach VA.

That couch from my childhood is still in our store to this day. Sometimes I still lie my head on it, and I try to imagine all of the places my dad could be.
