      I mention this so you are comfortable knowing that the items you purchase from me are truly old collectibles and NOT made yesterday imports! Many people feel that it is improper to use 'vintage' to describe an item unless you qualify it with a year. They worry that since there is no specific date associated with 'vintage', that items made yesterday could be called 'vintage'. While I am sure some people out there do that, I do not. My use of  the word vintage is in accordance to the unabridged Dictionary.com definitions. So, in addition to the previously mentioned definitions of  vintage, the following are also equally valid:

Being the best of its kind

     Contrary to the belief of many, this is not a new use of the word brought on by Ebay sellers -- according to the online Etymology Dictionary, vintage has been used in this sense (being of an earlier time) since 1883!

Krampus is coming

Ever wonder what Halloween artists do after Halloween? Well, this year, the HA31 Art Group is bringing Krampus to Ebay!
Each month, the group has a themed challenge where the artists pick a topic and then create art in their chosen medium centered around the theme. The art event is scheduled to be centered around Dec. 5th -- Krampus Eve! During the event, you will find all sorts of Krampus related items offered by the group members - don't miss it!

The legend of Krampus began in Eastern Europe - where it's said that Krampus was a servant to Saint Nicholas. The pair would travel to the homes of children - both good and bad. While Santa gave gifts to the good children, Krampus gave switches, coal, or worse - beatings. Some versions even have the Krampus carrying off children in the big sack he carries on his back!
