What's New at Vintages?


I just thought I would take you on a quickie tour of what's up in the shop. Many of the items from our January shopping at the shows have finally arrived. We have lots of new Paris themed accents, some cool garden accessories, a great set of tin boxes, metal baskets and wicker covered bottles ... and we finally got the large cage Santos in.  Plus we have a few great wall mirrors on display. Recently we acquired a nice batch of Victorian jewelry and antique silver. And for the crafters, we have added some new rubber stamps and crafting doo-dads.
Love this bench and pillows. The wicker covered bottles are new too! The vintage watering cans are great for the garden room. The large fleur-de-lys is made from old tin ceiling tiles and reclaimed wood.

Hi! I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe....

Do you remember Buster Brown shoes? I do. I also remember watching the Buster Brown TV show ... Smilin' Ed's Gang and later Andy's Gang. The shoes were "special." Back in those days I went to Catholic school and the nun's required us to wear shoes ... I mean real shoes ... "oxfords" we called them. Mom bought us Buster Brown shoes 'cause they would last the whole year! The advertising line for Buster Brown was: Hi! I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe.  That's my dog Tige. He lives in there too! The Brown S hoe C ompany has been around for over 130 years. Today they also market Famous Footwear and Naturalizers, and they are a contract manufacturer for other shoe brands.  But they are most well-known for the Buster Brown line of shoes. In 190 2, cartoonist Richard Outcault introduced a new comic strip character, a mischievous little rich boy named Buster Brown and his dog Tige. Two years later, at the 1904 St. Louis W...

By 1924 the time had come for a permanent church in Kilauea ...

The graveyard surrounding the church dates back to the earliest days of ...
