</span></span></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
"Lopaka" is Hawaiian for "Robert." My name is Bob ... aka "Robert" ... I was
born in Hawaii ... and though I reside in the fantastic Bay Area, my roots
are in the Hawaiian Islands. I love antiques, family history, ephemera
and making things. Lopaka Designs is located in Vintages, our shop in Los
Gatos, CA. At Vintages we sell handcrafted, Made in America products,
vintage treasures from Victorian times to the 1960's, as well as other
gift items.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
am one of two crafters in the shop ... Susan has been creating
wonderful crafts, jewelry, tags and cards for quite some time now. Her
designs are available the her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/prettyribbons" target="_blank">Etsy site Pretty Ribbons</a> as well as in our shop.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LopakaDesigns" target="_blank">Lopaka Designs is my Etsy site</a>
and I am now starting to place some of my own designs on the site. Some
of the early items are jewelry ... handmade using repurposed antique
and vintage treasures, combining my love of antiques with contemporary
findings to create mostly one-of-a-kind jewelry, accessory and
decorative pieces. I hope you love them ... let me know what you think.</span></span>Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18188724765507591910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032390639043325260.post-41597490218072117182014-12-06T10:56:00.000-08:002014-12-06T11:49:23.788-08:00Vintage Style Tags and Post Cards<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">One of the things I love about the Holidays is decorating the Christmas tree with unique ornaments. At home we have a lot of ornaments that celebrate events or travels we have had. Some are vintage ornaments or family treasures of Christmases past. Others are just simply beautiful. Then there are the handcrafted ornaments ... special ... one of a kind ... unique to our tree!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Maxfield Parrish (July 25, 1870 – March 30, 1966) was an American painter and illustrator active in the first half of the 20th century. He is known for his
distinctive saturated hues and idealized neo-classical imagery.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">...Wikipedia </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Understated! Maxfield Parrish was one of the most influential artists of the early 1900s. His work covered so many subjects and genres, that he is difficult to classify. Neo-classical ... yes. Arts & Crafts ... yes. Magazine cover illustrator par excellence ... absolutely. Master of color ... without a doubt.</span></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">In fairness, Wikipedia does go on to say:</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Parrish was one of the most successful and prolific of the illustrators
and painters of the Golden Age of Illustration. He was earning over
$100,000 per year by 1910, at a time when a fine home could be purchased
for $2,000. Norman Rockwell referred to Parrish as "my idol." Parrish,
although unique in his execution and never duplicated, exhibited
considerable influence upon other illustrators and artists, an influence
which continues through the present.</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have always loved his work, from the innocence of his "girls on a rock" images, to his compositions of people framed by fantastic architectural structures, to his whimsical knaves and princes. We have this book titled<i> The Maxfield Parrish Poster Book</i>. This is a later (1974) publication of his poster art ... each piece in the folio ready for framing. OK, these are not originals, but the price is right and the execution of the prints is quite good. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yellow ware was a staple of every family's cupboard from the mid-1800s to around 1930. While bowls were the primary item found, all types of kitchen vessels as well as decorative items were made using yellow clay.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I recently put together these magnifiers with some vintage beads and hung them off of black satin <span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">cord</span>. Each of these is a neat little glass magnifying optical lens with one yard of black satin
cord and a black organza bag. Perfect to hang around
your neck or keep in your handbag. Great little item to use so you can see
your project a bit better, to read the fine print or dinner menu, or to
inspect jewelry or silver antiques.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>We introduced jewelry by Norma Dice in 2009. Norma is now 92 and still creating beautiful jewelry from her studio in </span>Santa Cruz, California. Norma and her late husband
Jim spent many years searching for treasures of the earth. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>They bounced around in their Jeep wagon, traveling all over the West digging
for rocks. Norma and Jim shared their finds with the community -- at local
fairs and in their back yard. Polished stones, geodes, agates and other precious
finds.</span></span></span> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Norma taught herself to make jewelry from those treasures and still enjoys creating these little works of art a couple of decades down the road. To quote her:
<i>There is a whole lot of love that goes into each piece of jewelry. I like to
look at it for a little while then pass it on.</i> We are proud to offer a <a href="http://shop.vintagesantiques.com/Norma-Dice-Jewelry_c11.htm">new collection of
her one-of-a-kind pieces here at Vintages.</a></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">We just got back from the National Stationery Show in NYC where we ordered a dozen designs of bookplates made by the amazing watercolor artist Felix Fu.
<span>Felix Fu is an artist and visual storyteller who
was born and raised in Hong Kong. Now living and working in Newton,
Massachusetts, Felix creates tiny watercolors that capture the joy, beauty and
essence of life. Charming and whimsical, his images have a nostalgic feeling
that reminds one of a simpler, more magical time. Perhaps it is the flavor of
the English influence in Hong Kong blended with New England tradition and a
dash of child-like enthusiasm. Felix Doolittle stationery is unlike any other -
each piece is like a miniature work of art.</span></span></span></div>

have been around for centuries. They have evolved through family crests
and personal coats-of-arms to whimsical statements and verse. </span></span></span>Felix Doolittle</span></span></span> bookplates, like Felix' artwork, harken to times when we pasted a label on the inside cover of our prized books, letting anyone who perused the volume know that the book was mine! I guess I am still old-school. While I am content to read the "newspaper" and my news online, I like to hold a real book, curl up on a couch in the family room or lounge chair under the shade of a tree and enjoy the stories and adventures </span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>conjured up </span></span></span>by my favorite authors.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">You know how I love miniatures ... and miniature books in particular. I was blown away by these little leather books made in Philadelphia, all by hand using reclaimed materials.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The artisans explain their books in this way: <i>These miniature books are made using archival insides and
vintage outsides. Inside you'll find line-free strathmore drawing paper -
thick, hand-torn and hand-stitched acid-free pages that work perfectly with
ink, pens both thick and superfine, pencil, charcoal and myriad other mediums.
The book's covers are made using handpicked scraps and worn leather, cut to fit
the appropriate size. The leather has been bartered from farms in Ecuador,
ripped from old chairs in Holland, taken from boots and shoes and saddles and
bags and wallets, and found in abandoned houses across the United States. They
are scavenged from dumpsters and flea markets and yard sales all over the world
and every book is made by hand, so no book will ever have an exact duplicate. </i></span></span></div>

key chain. The books are just as usable as the one that is not on a chain. We have these in two book sizes: a small, 5/8" high book with
30 sheets (60 pages), priced at $49.95 each, and a medium, 7/8" high book
with 42 sheets (84 pages), priced at $52.95 each.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>We just received our first shipment of these wonderful metal art pieces that are created by Northern California metal artist Jennifer Utsch.
She envisioned Jendala art from her strong belief that there is a connection between
creativity, the environment and universal growth. These inspiring
pieces are handcrafted locally from salvaged and reclaimed materials. Jennifer: "I design and create all
my products using the hand torch. All metal is reclaimed, mostly from sheet metal and
steel cans. I then paint and assemble each piece with beads and bells selected
from sustainable cooperatives in India and Indonesia."</span></span></span></div>

We love the warmth and sooth texture of finely crafted hardwood pieces. Priced at $49.95 each, these are perfect for the man in your life ... or just get one for yourself! Why not?

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The artists maintain a studio in a small Rhode Island town. Working out of a nineteenth century mill overlooking Dorset Mill Pond, they utilize the beauty of their surroundings to create objects
that are simple yet elegant in design. Their woodcrafts are both
serviceable and handsome. With minimal care, they can be appreciated
for years to come. The hallmark of their work is its combination of
artistic expression and utilitarian design. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Susan has created a whole line-up of decorated trees for your Holiday vignettes, nativities and center pieces ... or to add to your own crafted creations. She bleaches and dyes the bottle brush trees and wreaths, then decorates them with glitter, ornaments, garlands and other treasures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These range in size from 1-1/2 inches to 10 inches tall. While most are sold as individual trees, the smaller ones are sold in packages or gift boxes. Take a look. We can send more photos and information if you like. Of course, we are happy to ship anywhere.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">We love this line of cards. They are witty ... poignant ... and just plain cute! It's our best selling line. Even more <span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">because of</span> the pains that Curly Girl takes to protect the environment and keep the worl in America. These cards are "printed on recycled paper with soy-based ink with wind-power" in Massachusetts. Go Girls!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The card line covers just about every situation, occasion and whim. The images are frame-able. The messages make for great conversation. We find that they express thoughts we have but never put into words.</span></span></div>
