Vintage Nylon Stockings

"In just a handful of years, vintage nylons will completely disappear from the face of the earth," says vintage stocking collector Steve, who also runs Stocking Showcase. And that's enough motivation for him and others like him. But aside from...

Antiques in a Bad Economy = Good Investments?

Boy, like many people, our investments have really taken a hit in the stock market! Our nest egg has flown the coop! When entering an antique mall a week back, I saw a quote from a well-known newspaper. I don't recall the exact wording but it reco...

Adding Your Collection To History In A Small Way Feels Really BIG

I love museums and history, so I was thrilled to be contacted by Sean Hooley a few weeks ago. Hooley is part of a team working on The Launch at the historic Hingham Shipyard. The shipyard, located in Hingham, Massachusetts, once played a large...

Artoyz Elements Alpha : The Unboxing

It's time to be completely honest about the direction that the blind boxed art toy is taking. While the creative and technical possibilities are endless, it seems that the 'cute little animal' thing has completely overtaken the scene. Whether it's...

Collecting Precious Moments and Precious Memories

I am not a serious collector of Precious Moments figurines from Jonathan & David. But I do recognize their charm and desirability. I acquired my first figure from my mother. We were not a very 'affluent' family, always getting gifts for birth...

Craft Master: The History Of Paint By Numbers

Many mock paint by number paintings, saying it's-not-art-it's-conformism. "This," they say, "is not art." It's kitsch at its worst, and at its best it's a hobby. We collectors disagree. Maybe it's just 'cuz we love our paint by number paintings...

The Inevitable End of a Collection : Polaroids

Over the past few years, I've been working out a creative impulse that's been haunting me for far longer than I can remember. See, I have this dream of traveling across the United States and photographing its aging amusement parks - and while digi...

Collecting Female Uniforms: Vintage Aprons

Few things can rile a feminist more than images of repressed atomic 50's females. One icon of such repressed domesticity is the apron, with its literal ties that bind women forever to the most dreary work imaginable: cooking and cleaning. It's...
