antiques from the past such as, estate jewelry, bracelets, rings, necklaces and pendants, pins and brooches, men and womens

vintage watches, earrings, pearl necklaces, pins, and brooches,

online catalog which have a buy now button will include the

line of new collectibes we are adding to the catalog. We still

for viewing purposes only, until those items are replaced with

our new items you will still be able to browse and research the

catalog for a price range on your collectibles and antique's for

free. Once our online catalog has been replaced with our new

line of products, you can still research your antique and

collectible items from within the website's "items we have

sold" links. Thank you for being patient with us during our

change over, and especially for your stopping by and visiting

us, and to all our customers both past and hopefully future we

appreciate you very much.

My darling husband Dale, ( Always Buddy to me and his family ),

passed away Feb. 6, 2007. He had his 62 birthday on Feb. 3rd,

three days before he died. This coming June we would have

celebrated our 42nd anniversary. My life has totally changed since

his death, and will never be the same again. Words cannot express whats in my heart, so I won't even try. My husband was as much a

part of this website and it's creation as I, for he gave me the time to

work on it, create it, and dreamed of my success in all that I desired

to do with it. In honor of my darling who I miss achingly I add the following.

A nephew gave me a card from him and his wife, at my

husband's funeral. It says almost what my heart cries.

It reads as:

I Am So Sorry for Your Loss

A loved one is a treasure of the heart, and to lose a loved one

is like losing a piece of yourself. But the love that this person

brought you did not leave, for the essence of the soul lingers.

It cannot escape your heart, for it has been there forever.

Cling to the memories and let them find their way to heal you.

The love and laughter, the joy in the togetherness you shared,

will make you strong. You'll come to realize that your time

together, no matter how long, was meant to be, and that you

were blessed to have such a precious gift of love in your life.

Keep your heart beating with the loving memories, and trust

in your faith to guide you through. Know that though life

moves on, the beauty of love stays behind to surround and

embrace you. Your loved one has left you that... to hold in

your heart forever.

( by Debbie Burton-Peddle)

My husband was treasured and I always teased him, that I loved

him more, much more. His deepest desire was to live here on

earth with me for as long as he could, and he fought to do just

that. I keep telling myself that things are not as they seem, that

my husband and I were victorious in our faith, that God did heal

him, and he did, for he is with his Lord now, whole and sound,

and wouldn't want to come back here now, even though he loves

me, for anything. He is well, and he's not lost to me, for I know

full well where he is and who he is with.

To my darling husband I love you now as always, and though my

life seems so empty without you here by my side, our life together

was precious, and treasured by me. You are missed so very much.

And as you always called me, The Wife, The Wife says to you,

I love you more, much more.

My husband Dale, known to me and his family as Buddy,

on our 40th anniversary.

Me and my husband on our Wedding Day,

June 5th, 1965

Buddy with his cherished Shortcake. I gave Shortcake

to Buddy's brother Abby and Mary, who will love her

and treat her like a little princess. I must now find

a home for the boys, Little Diamond and Dimaond

Duke. I cannot give away our Diamond Eye or our

Sapphire Lady.

Little Diamond and Diamond Duke, were taken by a lovely

lady and her family, to give them a home together and breed

them with their female Jack Russell, Sept. 21, 2007.

I now only have the daddy and mother of these, the sweetest

and most loving little Jack Russell's. I pray they stay safe, well

and will be taken the best of care for the rest of their life. They

gave me and my husband many many days of laughter and joy.

They are beautiful and I will miss them each.

A Note To All Who Visit my site. Please bear with me if

delays occur in checking my email. I try to make myself

do that at least every couple of days, for my website, my

visitors, my customers, are important to me, as they were

to my husband who helped me by giving me his love and

support, in the creation of my site. He enjoyed hearing

me tell him of emails I received, orders that I had received

for things that were special to me, a desire I always had to

find the things I offer in my online catalog, a new and

loving home.

My heart is not so full of the joy or excitement I had in

starting my quest to find a new home for the treasures I

have, not now, but my loyalty to my visitors and my

customers is as always strong to them. I will do my best

and try to continue as my husband would want me to.

I just have many more things that I also must do and

accomplish for him, for me. Please to all who it means

anything to, to all who are believers in Christ, my dear

brother and sisters, please remember me in your prayers.

Linda
