Newsletter -- February 10, 2005

Early morning snowfall -- February 2005

This issue marks the beginning of our second year of publication. Despite occasional missed deadlines, we've managed to get an issue out each month. Those of you who have sent encouraging notes have helped us to justify the time it takes, as have the many sales which have resulted from it.

We'll try to assure that it continues to give pleasure and provide readers with information about shows, new inventory, and other things related to antiques. This seems a good time to remind you that an archive of all past issues is available on line. Just click on Newsletter Archive for links to all issues.
