Handmade Nativity Scene

After years of collecting broken Dolly “want me nots” I realized that I had the perfect assembly for a nativity scene. All of the characters are present; three kings bearing gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The royal family; an exhausted Mary resting, a young Joseph looking over his new family, and sweet baby Jesus, swaddled in a bed of hay. The angel is my favorite with her wings made of Victorian brass findings. The manger is assembled from hand selected twig findings. A modest price of $150 after weeks of work.

Funeral Curtian

This is a silk velvet funeral curtain from the Victorian times. This curtain is about 9 feet long and 7 feet at its highest point. It conveniently folds up into a suitcase because it was used as a back drop in homes, cemeteries and churches or whenever the sad occasion would arise. It is in immaculate condition probably bc it was stored in its case most of its life. $1200. Odd Fellows Eye ceremonial tunic $248
