Our friend, George Wentz, died on Saturday. Even though his health had been bad for a long time, it was still a bit of a shock. I was over visiting him just a couple of weeks ago and he was in the shop a couple of days later.
George was absolutely the sweetest man I have ever known. It was always a treat to be around him and see the joy he found in everything.
He was still painting up to the very end. Of course, that isn't surprising. He loved his art and well he should.
I am really at a loss for words right now. I have a lot of his art in the shop and a few pieces at home that will always be a reminder of him and the good friend that he has been. Like everyone who ever knew him, I will miss him. . .

Well, I just finished the new web site. It does not have all the features yet, but they will be coming soon.
For those of you who have not visited our shop, you are missing out on a really fun experience. We are a unique blend of antiques, collectibles, architectural, artwork, shabby chic, vintage jewelry, primitive, and definitely of the unusual.
Some of the finer shops in the area have been known to turn their noses up at the mention of our names, which makes me smile. Most of them would kill to have our customers and our sales.
Most people LOVE our shop and often go on and on about it when they visit. We have been featured in the local papers many times due to our fun and eclectic nature.
Our clientele ranges from the usual antique & collectible enthusiasts, to students looking for a bargain, to artists, to the trendy/fashion conscious, to the "upper crust" who pull up in their Mercedes & BMW's, and everything in between. We love them all and have so much fun with them.
Come see what everyone is talking about.
