Vintage wall decor, c.1979 seeks new forever home.

This is a wood and brushed copper hanging wall plaque. The piece contains a love sentiment that reads: "Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of season." That is a proclamation once noted by the "Prophet" Kahlil Gibran.

The sculpted rose is elevated a bit above the brushed copper backing for a beautiful 3D effect. This piece is in excellent condition without damage or fading. The plaque measures 7 3/4" x 5 3/4" [19.7 x 14.7 cm].

Lot of Sweet Old Vintage Cameras - c.Mid Century

This lot of 5 vintage cameras seeks a new forever home.

There are 5 cameras, a leather camera case, and a flash attachment included in this lot - 7 pieces in all. What is pictured is what will be sent. Without film and developing we have no idea how well and if these cameras work. However, without film all seem to function to some degree. All will need cleaning and TLC. No camera experts here - so we have taken alot of shots of what they are and what they look like - ask questions with care (i.e. dumb it down a bit for us!) (if you need / want more photos just email us with a reply addy).

I have spent the last 5 days (appx. 81 hours) building, editing, designing, editing, fixing, editing, and populating my new store front on Wix.com.

The Wine Country Wonders store address is http://winecountrywonders.wix.com/storefront.

I hope that you will stop by, visit, and leave me some feedback - either here, or at the store.

I thank you.

I have been preoccupied

I have not posted a new listing / story / ad here in what seems like days. 

I have been absolutely sacked trying to get my web-store populated with merchandise, a shopping cart, a way to get paid, and etc. 

It truly is an exhausting experience. 

For the last four days I have spent the better part of 12 hours per day racking my brain, fiddling with keys, mouse, and backspace buttons and it is starting to get to me. 

In the end of course, I realize that it will be worth all of the work (especially if I remember to go back and SEO every items page individually).

Wish me luck! I'm gonna need it. And I should be back on Monday with at least a few new listings / stories / ads. 

See you then, Craig
