Neighbors where we live are perfect for us. One is Frank, and he has a very unusual house. Not so much on the outside, but when you walk through the front door you can’t help but feel you’re in a very unique place. His front porch has items displayed that make you wonder what might be inside.
When you get inside, your visual senses are overwhelmed with items of beauty, historical significance and just plain awe that one person could collect so many diverse items and display them in such an attractive manner. Here are several examples.
Frank definitely appreciates history; not only in America but worldwide. He has been collecting antiques for over twenty years since he retired. He told me he usually makes three weekly visits to local antique shops, usually coming away with a great find, often for an amazingly low price. And, he actually knows where everything is located in his house, and has each item recorded for posterity. Like I said above, we have great neighbors.
wow, I wish I had such a neighbor! But actually my flat looks nearly like his. I just collect other things. But I really love Frank’s collection of everything. He has put everything together with a lot of taste and knowledge. I appreciate that a lot. Give my regards to him, Mitza
Thank you for the nice words about Frank. You are correct noting the orderly and attractive way he displays his treasures. Passion at work.
