Christmas brings your art out

I have been remiss in my postings. I have been off three times a week into New York City to attend school. I am getting certified as an ESL teacher. It isn't easy running for trains and getting home by midnight, but it will be worth it.

I took this Sunday off to return to one of my favorite places for photos, The Tomato Factory Antiques in Hopewell, NJ. Christmas is a wonderful time to see all the antique ornaments on display (and perhaps purchase a few.) Here's a lovely selection over by Donna Rago's jewelry. By the way, Donna gets the most wonderful pieces of jewelry. I had to pick up a little Christmas present for myself, because I have been so good this year.

Favorite places to Scrounge for Loot

Here is a couple of pictures of one my favorite places to rummage for found objects, Hope Junction Antiques in the very pretty town of Hope, NJ. Inside you will find the lovely owner and hostess, Linda. There is always something yummy to eat, some hot coffee and browsing is encouraged. I hate antique stores where I feel I have someone looking over my shoulder. This is not one of those places. So stop on in and say "Hi" to Linda.
