One of our readers needs your help...

"I have an 11x14 b/w photo of triplets. It's in a narrow black wooden frame. The photo was taken in the hospital as the babies are in isolettes. It's inscribed by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Harris 1941 to "Our Doctor". The babies are simply "named" BABY A,B,and C. and the bed tags say "boy" on each of them. Please email if you have any information. I want nothing more than to return this to a family member (NO COST).
Judy S. email: jumeaujs(at)aol.com

Reader photos of their collections...
"My favorite antique is our set of Moonstone dishes. My husband and I started collecting 40 years ago. I now have a complete service of eight. Many doubles on the serving bowls and such. 71 plus pieces now. They look so beautiful in the hutch. We have used them for very special occasions. Mary G, Wahpeton, North Dakota" - See the photos of her collection here: https://www.facebook.com/TIASAntiques

"I collect and sell but these two gals (see photo on Facebook) will never be freed from this home! I love RETRO, eclectic and a wide variety of things too numerous to mention.

When my grandson Lucas was 4 years old he and his parents lived with us for a few months. He always watched me as I separated my stamps for my stamp collection and my postcards for my postcard collection. One day as we were doing laundry he asked if he could have the lint out the dryer. I asked why he would want that and he said “ It’s for my collection, I collect lint” Lucas is now 9 and he loves it when we tell of his collecting days!! I love your newsletter all the wonderful stories. Keep it up!!
