Susan
Cramer has been a fan of antiques and collectibles since she was a little girl.
She holds a degree in interior design, with additional courses in writing. She
has run estates sales, tag sales and booths at antique shows and considers
sifting through dusty boxes in estate sale basements as one of the highest
forms of recreation. As a writer her work can be found on Suite101.com and Antique Week. Susan collects many types of
antiques including; buttons, blue
pottery, art deco chromeware, statue of liberty memorabilia, and books. She also collects World's Fair memorabilia
because the single brightest memory of her entire childhood is from when her adored
Uncle took her and her brothers to the NY world's fair in 1964.
Susan is
now iTaggit's first antique expert. Susan has been busy blogging on iTaggit
this week. Her blogs focus primarily on specific items. For Susan, "the most
interesting aspect of any antique is the back-story; the memories of the part
that a particular item played in the life of its owner. Without this sort of
connection, what we're talking about is simply "stuff". That is
not to say that a collector has deep feelings for every item she has, but it's
usually where a collection starts."
