Here I sit at 6am on a Sunday morning, updating this website. The answer as to why is easy: I can’t sleep, because my body knows that its Sunday and wants to play even though it pours. Like it or not, this is in my blood. These last maybe six months haven’t been easy and I’m sure the next year, while the market rebounds, is sure to be worse – and still I’d rather live this life than an easier one with less interaction with the past.
Too many people are content to ignore the past and those that shaped it, and not learn from it – in this line of work I am constantly finding something out that not only don’t I know, but falls into a category that I didn’t even know existed. That’s just plain fun.
I find that my acquisitions as of late are more often along the “decorator” order than not, and are largely about the splash that a sharp graphic makes against a room’s profile. Much of my recent postings are just that, World War I Airplane Propellers, Stainless Steel Glove Warmers, Yard Long Pin Up Girl Blotter Folk Art.
In a time when yesterdays necessities become todays luxuries, it is still possible to own a fabulous piece of historical importance for the same price as a cookie cutter bastardized version of it – 100 years later, in a department store. Take a spin around and remember that, email with questions / for prices or additional photographs.
I hope to see you at the Chantilly Virginia VA – DC Big Flea later this week. Thanks much!
