Love comes
in many ways
The love of a spouse
The love of child
The love of a friend and
the love of a pet.
All are ways that we love and give
of ourselves in our personal lives.
In other ways
we love and give of ourselves to
our community.
We can help to change lives and
make a difference.
DWB loves our Consigners, Donors,
Sponsors, Volunteers and
and our loyal customers.
Thank you for helping us
help our beloved
Sarasota community.
"Happy Valentine's Day" everyday!
With all my love, respect and appreciation,
Ida Zito

Sharing the Love...
"Inca-dinka do" think exotic and precious this Valentine's Day. You, our customers, are worth your weight in silver and gold, and we have some most unusual jewelry for you - and with a love story to heighten its interest.
Our consignor years ago fell in love with a doctor and spent two years in his homeland, the magical land of Peru. She returned, she said, with more than a few treasures, including a precious son and these Inca-inspired baubles and bangles. The detailing is remarkable - and will pop against a little black sweater or dress - the perfect artsy and exotic ensemble for a Valentine's Day lunch out at the museum, or anywhere, with your own true love.

Our Lady in Red is a lovely decorative though original oil on canvas, signed by C. Bailey. In a world of high-tech hustle and bustle, this painting reminds us of the joys attached to being a lady of leisure occasionally. Do you think the word "grey" might be in the title of her readings for this weekend?

Something Precious for
Someone Precious
How often do you hear couples saying of their falling in love, "I just knew this was the real thing." Same here: We've just received a Sotheby's-authenticated and appraised jade censer with a lucky foo-dog finial, ringed handles and floating cloud and sea wave reliefs. It measures 8 inches wide by 7 inches tall, without the stand.
The knock-offs are many, but this is the real thing. The silky and almost liquid-looking surface of our censer may be cool to the touch, but it will warm the heart of your beloved when you present him or her with this precious objet d'art.
