antiquing (v): the act of shopping, identifying, negotiating, or bargaining for old things like dressers, canisters, postcards, or bird cages. items can be bought for personal use, gifts, or just to sit on your shelf for another 20 years. antiquing is performed at garage sales, estate sales, resort towns, antiques districts, collectives, international auction houses, and other places with nothing to do.
and because i have become minimalist, i never have to do it again. thank goodness.

I must disagree. Since I have started downsizing I find more time to search out places to go and appreciate the past. The history of my surroundings and respect of the past has brought me to where I am. If I had not downsized (minimalized) I would not value the past that has brought me to the now in my life. Real wood has a structure that builds a solid foundation of which I can grow. This can not be found at Ikea. But, by spending the time I now have by minimalizing, I can search out the aucitons and tag sales where quality items of the past are available at bargain prices. And the joy of meeting great people who share the same passion.
