Beaded Fruit

Does anyone know where I can find vintage beaded fruit?  Not the crappy stuff they sell now that looses half it’s “beading” when you pick it up, but good quality repros or authentic stuff?

Any help would be appreciated.

Now that’s a pickle

Our Antiquing Adventure – Part III

After we left the Suite Lorain, Cleveland’s only vintage department store, we made a couple more quick stops. Nothing interesting to report, really.

We headed toward the Medina Antique Mall. It’s a huge place, and we never fail to find interesting things there. There is no quick trip to the Medina Antique Mall.

The Java Jive

Our Antiquing Adventure, Part II
Livin’ in the past or it’s depressing when the memories of your youth are the cornerstone of an antique store

After the hugely successful trip to the architectural antique store, we headed toward the next store on the list. It is a shop which specializes in Art Deco stuff and has the tantalizing catch phrase “Cleveland’s only vintage department store”.   Well, you know, how can you not stop there?  Unfortunately, it did not have the type of merchandise we were interested it, but we both had a great time looking at all the 1950/1960 furniture, housewares, etc.  Probably not five minutes would go buy without one of us saying, “I remember those” or “My mom still has that”. Unfortunately, there was also some of “I had that” sprinkled in there too. It’s depressing when the memories of your youth are on the shelves of an antique store, okay, vintage department store (that does sound better)
