In your computer's address bar type in "antique", and believe you me, we're at the age where "vintage" doesn't work, suddenly we have to use ANTIQUE to get the desired results!
Sure, I know the difference. Antique collectors everywhere know an item has to be 100 years old to be considered antique.
Even my great aunt who reached the grand age of 96 couldn't be considered antique. She was 4 years too young, LOL. Lately, she'd seen the days of cell phones playing like a radio, showing movies like a television, and alarming you like a pre-set clock. She'd seen days when a small closet became a bathroom, wall-to-wall carpeting got installed over hardwood, and televisions became the rage. Early in life she'd seen the days of horse & buggies when cars were uncommon, and water hand-pumped into a kitchen's shallow sink. Now, that's antique!
Anyway, I digress. On my laptop, I wanted to bring up pictures of old Valentine's. You probably know the ones, they have a clever saying and a baby faced child, such as a boy on a hobby horse, captioned, "Howdy Pardner, Be My Valentine!"
The word vintage didn't work. But, boy howdy, type in antique and you get a plethora of Valentine card images. They're oh, so cute!
I didn't know the heart-shaped boxes stored in my closet were antique, sheesh! When did I go from vintage to antique?!
"Horsin' 'round town, Valentine, please be mine!" said the next Valentine card.
It's enough to give you an ancient urge to mount a horse rather then rev up a trendy Mustang.
