I love rummaging through a good antique mall; but it is frustrating when the dealers don't care enough about their wares to make their booths accessible. I hate a just throw it in there and slap a price tag kind of booth.~melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923627491671705881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525384231822327550.post-2434089442391423302011-01-08T05:07:52.097-05:002011-01-08T05:07:52.097-05:00Hi Gina,

Sorry folks but I do not consider junk from the 60's to be antiques. It really seems difficult to find a "PURE" antique store anymore, at least in my area.<br /> I wish you could have looked at a piece of art I recently spied. It was a Vermeer print,which the dealer told me was a chroma lithograph....He said it was around a century.The frame looked it, and the backing... but something just wasn't right. I bet you would have known. I would have purchased it, as it was in excellent condition, but... I needed an expert along.jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525384231822327550.post-85276007295581308462011-01-07T16:49:18.684-05:002011-01-07T16:49:18.684-05:00I'm unfamiliar with celluloid boxes such as yo...I'm unfamiliar with celluloid boxes such as you showed.

I'm partial to the textiles - really like those pillows - I thought they might be needlepoint. I also love the framed needlework and butterfly tray.JGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710652130966518173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525384231822327550.post-50581209347416926202011-01-07T13:30:11.922-05:002011-01-07T13:30:11.922-05:00Thanks, Gina (for the translation) - really displa...Thanks, Gina (for the translation) - really displayed my ignorance, but I can at least confess to not having studied French at school :)<br />That should count, shouldn't it???<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Des xoDesireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525384231822327550.post-27580451971754226752011-01-07T12:27:28.462-05:002011-01-07T12:27:28.462-05:00Gina, although I might admire the creative flair o...Gina, although I might admire the creative flair of that pair of cowboy boots, I'd truly run a mile if a man turned up in them! Definitely can't be any cowboys in my genepool :)<br /><br />I too would have walked past most of what you featured today, but did find the inscribed, handmade, textile picture intriguing - looks like a fertility theme, with either eager tadpoles or sperm featuring prominently :)<br /><br />My husband would probably have stepped across to view the old typewriter up close. He has two beauties that he discovered beneath years of dust in a local "snuffelwinkel" (literally: shop that you scrounge/dig about in!) He has a penchant for genuine old artefacts and a nice collection of microscopes and cameras on display in his study.<br /><br />Please, for those of us who are uninformed, do translate your caption...I don't even know what language it is!<br /><br />Again, a thoroughly enjoyable visit! I know you've said repeatedly, it's a big mall - but I can really get a sense of it now!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525384231822327550.post-62127922377107516852011-01-07T12:04:59.341-05:002011-01-07T12:04:59.341-05:00I love going antiquing with you.Your knowledge and...I love going antiquing with you.Your knowledge and humor are make for a great trip...I really feel like I was along.Jojihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328111469081827354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525384231822327550.post-56124114867586505862011-01-07T12:02:26.347-05:002011-01-07T12:02:26.347-05:00Hi Gina...Shopping with you is always an education...Hi Gina...Shopping with you is always an educational experience and fun, too. It's quite interesting to see all of the things one should look for when purchasing old painting. It's obvious that you are quite knnowledgable on antique paintings. Thanks for taking us shopping with you.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106128705768954876noreply@blogger.com
