Many years ago Andy Warhol was quoted as saying, “Art? It’s a man’s name”. This was noted at the time as a droll comment; something irreverent.

We all have a secret thrill, something which causes that tingle down the spine, don’t we?

In my case, it’s any action movie with lots of ripped tee shirts and exploding helicopters. But vintage spice tins are a close second! … Continue Reading

A few days after Thanksgiving, my Mom would send us down to the basement for her boxes of Holiday decorations. Some of these trinkets were homemade (this being the 1960’s) when families still did things like that- craft paper angels, popsicle stick snack bowls and garlands of cranberries and popcorn.

One box in particular held the older, fragile items: thin glass confections in the shapes of fat snowmen, elegant pagodas and golden bugles. This box was of course my favorite. … Continue Reading
