Much to enjoy, and the weather's even cooperating. 
 
This month my customer, neighbor, and friend Curtis Medford wrote:
I think my interest in antiques began with my Great Aunt who lived in Highland Park.  I used to spend a month with her in the summer and we would go to all the antique shops in Dallas.  Click Here to see a photo of Curtis and read the rest of his  collector's story.
