In the shop 1940's collectible cookie jar.

So often we look at something like this and our first thought goes to the ugly, society would have us see. Let's do better! "Red, yellow, black, and white we are all precious in His sight" 🙏

Let us see the simplicity depicting the history of Southern literature and movies.
So maybe see this type of collectible as a positive figure of a time in history that taught us much. A figure portrayed as wise, and strong, loved and admired for
humility, affectionate and self-renouncing loyalty.
A southern mother figure as a source of nutrition, wisdom, comfort, discipline, cook, advisor, and mediator.

In Carson McCullers's "A Member of the Wedding" the cook- Berenice, played on stage and screen by Ethel Waters, is a source of comfort and wisdom. When she spoke, we are told "on a long and serious subject, the words flowed one into the other and her voice began to sing. In the gray of the kitchen on summer afternoons the tone of her voice was golden and quiet, and you could listen to the color and the singing of her voice and not follow the words." She projected a vision of a world "that was round and just and reasonable"--a world like herself.

Vintage Jewelry describes items that are at least one generation old, so anything before the 1980's is currently considered vintage. Estate Jewelry describes pieces that were previously owned, it sounds more elegant than used or old jewelry. Both vintage and antique are types of estate jewellery. Antique Jewelry is typically at least 100 years old but often Art Deco jewels crafted during the 1920's to 1930's are included. Fine antique jewelry is generally made of either yellow gold or platinum. Many think of costume jewellery when they hear vintage jewelry; however, between the 1940's and 1980's some of the finest crafted jewelry pieces were produced. Some items come from trusts, but most fine pre-owned pieces come from the family members that inherited them or original owners that no longer want or need them. Many of these pieces have a story or a journey all their own. There are many interesting pieces. The vendor Linda Lightner would be more than happy to share these stories. She is very knowledgeable with 40 years of experience. Please enjoy our selection whether just admiring the artwork, or searching for your treasure!
