I have used this opportunity to show some of the items I have bought and use it as a chance for me to practice my "layout skills?" These skills, I am afraid, are a crapshot at best with no rhyme nor reason where the words will go or where the pictures end up.. I am sure there is a method to all of this!!
These pieces will be going into my space at Wertz Brothers Antique Mall in Santa Monica within the next few weeks. I have been going through boxes in my workroom and am starting to sell items that I have had stashed since 1997 when I took my first buying trip to Europe...
I guess the time has come.....Things come and they go.. Somethings I can't bear to part with, so I keep them for awhile, boxed up and taken out on occasion to admire them...Often times, I keep things in my home or wear things for awhile and then I move them on. Most of the things I buy have stories to go along with them. I remember the day, the dealer, the excitement of finding it and the knowing that someone will love it.
I feel the urge for another buying trip and so now is the time to sell some of my treasures in order to buy more.. I love what I do and I do what I love .. how blessed I feel to be able to do that.. Have a wonderful first Spring Sunday...
