I've been reading the forums for the last couple of months, gleaning information and trying to get my bearings (HUGE quantity to take in), but I think it's time to introduce myself, to become a proper member instead of a guest who never leaves

.
I'm Andrea, but you'll know me by my screen-name, VintageRitz. I'm Vintage 'cuz, well, I'm getting up there, and Ritz is a shortened version of my last name. Put them both together, and you have the condensed version of ME: a little battered, a tiny bit scuffed, full of character and style. Well, I hope so, anyway.
I'll be around the site learning and occasionally commenting. Say hi if you'd like.
