  1. 👵 Consoled a confused/ upset new resident; matched her up with my across the hall lonely neighbour -the 2 spent the afternoon happily chatting); took apart/reassembled her new dresser- family put together all wrong- drawers wouldn't shut. I'm playing with the latching mechanism and putting the last drawer in the cabinet, she says,
    "Why did they give me this little new flimsy dresser when I had my 95 year old set that worked fine".

    I hear that too often.

  23. Indiana State Fair 2026 Photos, Part 7: The Year in Antiques

    Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: It’s that time again! The Indiana State Fair is an annual celebration of Hoosier pride, farming, food, and 4-H, with amusement park rides, cooking demos, concerts by musicians either nearly or formerly popular, and farm animals competing for cash prizes without their knowledge. My wife Anne and I attend each year as a date-day to seek new forms of creativity and imagination within a local context... One of the fair’s regular features is the antiques competition, chiefly displayed on the second floor of the Indiana Arts Building. No one’s ever posted the rules, criteria, rankings, or anything expository beyond signage implying, “Here are some antiques not for sale.” Contestants bring in ancient items they unearthed somewhere, a secret council convenes far from inquisitive eyes, prize ribbons are placed next to some of them, yadda yadda yadda, they’re at your Indiana State Fair. Amid the quilts and ’50s baby dolls and blue-and-white dishware, a few items with historical value and/or pop culture cachet will catch our attention, especially comic books published before I was born. We congratulate the winners of this year’s Antiques We Noticed Most Contest! […]

  36. Today's post was inspired by our antique kitchen cabinet, when I was doing some research into its origin. Produced by the Ruddy Manufacturing Company in Brantford in the late 1920s, one of 100+ North American manufacturers that cranked out "Hoosier" style cabinets from the 1900s to the 1940s.
    We've owned this for approximately 40 years - I refinished it 35+ years ago. It was originally painted blue with black hardware.
