antique show withdrawal [View all]

It happens about the middle of January. I start to suffer from antique show/garage sale/doll show/collectibles show withdrawal. At some point on a Saturday in February, I wake up thinking I want to go garage saling. But it's snowing outside! I have to suffer for the next three months, until the middle of April when the season starts up again.
There are a few indoor antique shows during the winter in the Midwest, but they aren't as fun as the outdoor ones. And shopping online isn't nearly as entertaining.
The feeling really is a mild form of withdrawal. There is an ongoing craving, especially on the weekends.
Does anyone else experience this?
