Dovetail Antiques Family Photos

We invite you to view these old photos of our family. Antiques have always been a common denominator and a great source of shared pleasure in our family. They show our family buying, selling, and collecting antiques through the generations.
 
I am a third generation antiques dealer and our daughter, Robin, has recently started her own antiques business, www.InSpiritAntiques.com
 
Antiques are alive and well in our family. We enjoy living with them everyday!
