Gifted!


It's really hard to include my whole selection in one slide show, but if you check both this one and the previous slide show, you'll get a good idea of what I have to offer. It's going to be amazing. Now, am I withholding all my holiday cheer for December 15? I wouldn't do that to you. I have Christmas ornaments this week. Every year I tell myself I'm going to start selling these in early November. But the fear of taking them to the outdoor market and exposing them to the elements wins every time. And, as you can see from the slide show, I have fun playing with them. For once, I'll budge on my prices. I break these things by looking at them the wrong way. They need more responsible parents like you.

Occasionally being a successful silver shark earns you an important business distinction... Like the most amazing consignment of silver ever. PLEASE take a look at my eBay auctions. This stuff is amazing. It probably will not go for full retail value. This is why your read my blog. So you can be in on opportunities like this. Oh, and for history and information. Georg Jensen was the definitive Danish Modern silversmith. Sorry, you may have noticed I don't like stating the obvious. Through this consignment I am also learning about Mignon Faget. She's a Newcomb College graduate, and apparently up to speed with the long standing associated artistic movement. I have three of her pieces on eBay, and they are getting lots of attention.

Funny thing... about a year ago, I found two of the most amazing pieces of Whiting & Davis I had ever seen. Remember the scarf? Well, to mark the anniversary of that amazing score, I picked up two Whiting and Davis tops today. They're cute, and comfortable. Metal mesh, akin to chain mail, is surprisingly comfortable to wear. Got any parties to go to?

The Brooklyn Flea schedule is as follows: This weekend 12/4-12/5, next weekend 12/11-12/12, and GIFTED from 12/15 straight through 12/23. Are you as excited as I am? Great, let's have eggnog.

If you're still reading, you're a devoted blog follower and you deserve to hear the latest news with the embalming table. It appears that it is not the worst thing I ever spent money on. Well, it's not the worst investment. It's going to sell. Right now it's at $255, with 3 days to go. The current high bidder has bought 3 of these in the last two months, and also bids on embalming tools and 1930s cracker jack charms. Your guess is as good as mine.
