Tuxedo Antiques June 2004 Newsletter

Do Something You Love Today November 2004
In This Issue............. Sales Sales Sales Ebay Toolbar Holiday Schedule   Dear Stacey, Our last newsletter was published in June - since then so much has happened! Stacey and I have been going non-stop with activities, shows, Ebay and the shop. As we approach the Holidays again I wanted to take some time and let everyone know what's been going on, tell you about the very exciting events that we have lined up for the rest of the year and thank you for making 2004 a great success! Stacey and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary this summer by renewing our vows. We had a beautiful ceremony and celebration in our back yard with close friends and family. It was a beautiful evening in August and we were thrilled to be surrounded by those that we love. William is fast approaching 3 years of age and is constantly moving and talking now! He started "Transition Classes" at Country Club Christian Church this fall and is doing very well. He loves his teacher Miss Lisa and his fellow classmates. Thanks to your support the business was busy this summer as well. We managed a few Estate Sales and set up at three shows in Overland Park, Topeka and Westport. We had great success at Topeka and Westport. The Overland Park show had new management this year and it will take some time for them to establish a mailing list and reputation. We also kept a nearly constant presence on Ebay. Selling everything from $10.00 jewelry to a $5600.00 silver bowl. We really sell it all! Things are going well at the Gallery too! We just celebrated our one-year anniversary November 1st and have just completed a gallery expansion into the adjoining hallway - nearly doubling our display area! To help fill that additional gallery space we recently we acquired a nice collection of Southwest Artwork including a study by Charlie Die, an Olaf Wieghurst Oil on Board, 2 Bronze sculptures by Liberty, MO artist Tom Phillips, a collection of Native American Silk screens and several other related items. We are also processing lots of Sterling Silver and a good selection of jewelry including many broaches (this year's hottest accessory!). If you haven't stopped by the Gallery or shopped our Ebay auctions in awhile - now is definitely the time! We really have a wonderful selection of art, jewelry, silver and furniture. Whether you are putting those finishing touches on your home for the holidays - or - shopping for that perfect gift - Tuxedo Antiques has something for you. We really want to thank each and every one of you for your support. Our business is only viable because of you. We truly appreciate you and your collecting needs and look forward to continuing our relationship now and in the future. Wishing you and your family all the best, Jason Roske   SALES SALES SALES If you are looking for a reason to visit us - look no further!

Sorry, this promotion is valid in the Continental U.S. only.   Ebay Toolbar We've published several articles on how to protect yourself from spoof emails directing you to sites that look like eBay or Paypal. Now eBay has made that process much easier with eBay Toolbar with Account Guard. The Toolbar now indicates when you are on eBay or PayPal and warns you when you are on a potentially fraudulent site. We've been using the Toolbar since learning more about it at eBay Live! this summer and have been very happy. ......Get the Ebay Toolbar Holiday Schedule   We will be closed Thursday, November 25th for the Thanksgiving Day Holiday. We will also be closed December 24th - 28th. Quick Links... Website Current Auctions
