VOL. THREE ISSUE 10

HAPPY HAUNTINGS

Since we have so many new followers I wanted to share with you an article from ou

very first October newsletter. I hope you like it.

Have you ever taken a step into an antiques shop and heard the floorboard creak

beneath your feet? Or walked past a mirror and just barely caught a glimpse ofsomething that didnt quite resemble your image? Could it be nothingperhaps

could it be something beyond our imagination? Guess well never know

I would venture to say weve all had those unsettling experiences at one time or

another. Halloween offers new opportunity to enjoy the season and relish in all of

those little oddities of life. Autumns threshold gives us notice that the year isdwindling and the holiday season is shortly upon us. The sun sets a bit earlier in the

evening, the leaves rustle beneath our feet and the crisp autumn air encourages us to

curl up a little closer to the fire.

Its the same at Norwood & Nostalgia. Weve been gathering our wares and creati

warm, inviting experience for our customers. The stores are ready for Halloween a

were looking forward to the upcoming holidays. Our staff members are ready to

assist you in locating the perfect item. Theyre experts in the latest trends in vintag

decorating and strive to provide an excellent selection of merchandise from which

choose. We hope that youll find just what youre looking foroh, and we promis

NO GHOSTS! Well, maybe, one or two.

It's been said that one man's trash is another man's

treasure. Finding just the right cache is what antique

collecting is all about. Its a passion for some of us.Its a weekend fancy for others. We like to consider

both types close confidants in the antique world.

Every person who walks through our doors at Norwood

or Nostalgia quickly becomes members of our ever-growing family. Whats our common thread? It should

be obviousour love of old, collectible and vintage

items.

By absolute definition, an antique is an object that is at

least 100 years old. A vintage item is one that hassurvived at least 20 years. Some are family heirloomsthat have been handed down through the generations,

while others are purchased items that evoke some sortof nostalgia within us. Whichever category tickles your

fancy, we have it. We pay close attention to the trends

in collecting and our vendors attempt to provide an

excellent selection of merchandise.

We hope that youll find just what youre looking for at

Norwood and Nostalgia. If not, we love a goodchallenge. Let us search for your most sought after

item. To erase water rings from finished wood (even really

old ones); mix a small amount of baking soda with

Crest toothpaste. Apply the paste to the rings with a

clean soft cloth, wait 5 minutes then gently rub.

Wipe clean and polish as usual. Works like a charm,

tried and tested.

To fix a screw hole that has become too large to hold

its screw, make a plug out of a cotton ball by soaking

it in Elmer's Glue-All and stuffing it into the hole,

Let dry then reinsert the screw. You can also repair

an enlarged screw hole by making a paste of sawdust

and Elmer's Glue-All. Fill the hole, let dry overnight

then reinsert the screw.

Before clamping just-glued wood furniture, wrap the

joint with wax paper to protect surface marring.

HALLOWEEN WINDOW

ARE YOU AN

ECLECTIC COLLECTOR?

In other words, do you like a little bitof this and a little bit of that? Would

you pair a mid-century modern lamp

with a Victorian side table? Or wouldyou set your dining room table with

your grandmothers best china and

serve tea in your Fiesta teapot? If

either of these ideas appeals to you,then you have an eclectic taste.

Some of us prefer to maintain a

primary dcor in one styleprimitive,

Victorian, Edwardian, or modern.Were drawn to a particular style and

often we evolve from one style to

another. Whatever the case might be,we like what we like.

I associate our desires to decorate withthat of the choices on a color wheel.

The possibilities are endless.

An example of an eclectic setting mightlook like thisa primitive willow tree

paired with a tall Viking swung vase.These pieces paired with several early

1900s yearbooks held fast withbronzed baby shoe bookends. A

handmade grapevine wreath hung on

the wall behind the rest, providing a

perfect backdrop atop a modern rolltop desk.

Some may love the idea; some maynot. Either wayit takes all kinds to

make the antique world go around.

I f you are interested in becoming a vendor at Norwood Antique Mal l or Nostalgia, please let us know.

We, occasional ly, have available shops. Month ly rental pri cing depends upon the size of the shop.
