April News from Vintages of Los Gatos
Greetings!
Easter is quite late this year, way back at the end of April. That gives us more time to plant flowers, get the vegie garden started, do spring cleaning, and begin to enjoy the rebirth of nature before the Easter Bunny takes over.
We have begun to see the new products ordered at the January shows arrive in the shop. New selections for Paris apartment decor. French market baskets, wire baskets and Easter baskets. Some really wonderful craft supplies - both new and vintage. And even beach items to prepare for summer.
On the antique side, we have acquired a few gorgeous silver tea sets and serving pieces. Also a beautiful cache of Victorian jewelry. Read about the tea sets below and our diamond jewelry is featured in the birthstone article.
Let us know what you think about our newsletter ... and our products as well. Give us ideas for content., ask questions, and pass a copy along to a friend.

Collections: Porcelain Bathing Beauty Figurines
Porcelain Bathing Beauties
These little porcelain dolls have been collected for a century or more. Cute, pretty and sometimes naughty, these little beauties adorn all sorts of dishes, lamps, cups and trinkets. While prices range from moderate to expensive, they do not take up much space, and just a few can make an impressive display. Read more ...
Have a Happy Easter and a Wonderful Spring. Hope to see you in the shop ... or online.
Sincerely,
Bob & Susan Bortfeld Vintages of Los Gatos
