   Diane L. sent us an interesting, thought-provoking email about her antiques.   
      
   "I have a good collection of a variety of antiques that have come to me in a   
   number of different ways.  Both my mother and my mother-in-law had family   
   treasures passed down for generations and I have some of those very precious   
   collectibles along with their stories.  Other things I've found here and there   
   at estate sales and antique shops that hold special memories for me.  My   
   question is this.  I have two sons.  One son and his wife have plenty of room   
   for some of these lovely items but have zero interest in antiques.  The other   
   son and his wife have more of a liking for these things but have zero room!    
   Who is going to take care of these things, especially the most valued family   
   heirlooms, when I'm no longer on this earth!  I feel such a responsibility to   
   preserve these family items."   
      
   What do you think? Are you in a similar situation?   
      
   WE NEED YOUR STORY ABOUT COLLECTING. DO YOU HAVE AN INTERESTING STORY TO   
   TELL?  SEND IT TO newsletter@tias.com.   
      
   If you have a story you'd like to share, tell us about it and if you have any   
   photos, we'd love to see them!  Send us an email to newsletter@tias.com so we   
   can share your story with the rest of our readers.   
      
   Thanks to those of you who have been responding! We really enjoy, and   
   appreciate, the feedback!
