I"m a Believer

Here's something that I love. Do you remember the story in the bible of Jesus going into the temple when he was 12 years old? He spent his time there asking the Pharisees and teachers questions about the old testament. Here is one artist's interpretation of that image. It is a very old print and quite large. It is set in a very nice walnut frame. But I think it captures the moment that is mentioned in scriptures.
What do you think?

New Vintage Items

I've picked up a few things recently. They are old, but new to me. One of the items is a box of four silver-plated napkin rings. They are quite ornate. They are still in the original box. Tell me what you think!
I have not polished them, they have some tarnish on them. I am having 5 people for Thanksgiving dinner. I think I could find one more napkin ring. It would be nice. When I have my table set with my Wedgewood bone china, I will take a pic and show you. I love to dress up a table!
Have a nice Sunday!

I have always loved vintage

From the time I was 17 years old, I was drawn to vintage items. Growing up in NJ, we had a huge flea market not too far away. For those of you that might know of it, it was called "Englishtown Auction." There were at least 5 buildings filled with row after row of antique, junk and food. Outside there were acres and acres of tables where sellers were displaying their wares.
I remember one of the very first items I bought was a Zither! You may ask, what is a zither? It is a stringed musical instrument. I still don't know that much about it. Having been taught the violin, I was drawn to it being a stringed instrument. I was also drawn to the beautiful wood and ivory inlay.
From there I remember buying a long fur coat. Yes, that was back in my hippie days. But it's what was popular to my kind of friends and plus it was warm!

Now, many years later, I am still buying vintage items. I see the value in something that has a history to it. Sometime not always value, not it definitely has years on it. Many things I like to collect; you know they say that if you have 3 or more of something, that is a collection! Display them together!

I am going to keep it short now, because I want to share some of my items with you.
Please feel free to share what you like to collect!
Happy vintage hunting!

I have so much more I would like to share with you, but I feel I am off to a good start!
Everything you see here, I am willing to sell. The top artwork, I have 2 more like it by the same artist.
I have 2 of the vintage bird prints.
Thanks for looking!
