ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO EXPERIENCE IS TO GO SLOW AND TAKE EVERYTHING IN.
TOO OFTEN OUR LIVES ARE IN HIGH GEAR AND WE MISS MUCH IN OUR EFFORT TO GET SOMEWHERE THAT WE'RE NOT.

RICHARD ALPERT ONCE SO RIGHTLY SAID, "BE HERE NOW".

TO REALIZE THE RICHNESS OF LIFE

TO AGE IS TO EXPERIENCE.
VINTAGE, ANTIQUE, AND WELL LOVED ITEMS HAVE SOUL...... AN ESSENCE OF SPIRIT...... A VIVACITY....... THAT
ONLY COMES
WITH AGE.

TO KNOW IS WISDOM ATTAINED BY INVOLVEMENT WITH LIFE.
SAVOR THE MOMENT AND APPRECIATE THE WEALTH OF VENERABLE OBJECTS THAT ENGULF US.

ANN ARBOR ART & ANTIQUES MARKET JULY

WE FOLLOW PATHS IN OUR LIVES....
SOMETIMES, AT FIRST, WE DO NOT RECOGNIZE A PATH BUT THE FURTHER WE TRAVEL ON IT THE MORE PRONOUNCED THE PATH BECOMES

PATHS TURN INTO TRAILS
TRAILS WIDEN TO LANES
LANES MERGE TO FORM ROADS
AND ROADS EXPAND INTO HIGHWAYS.
EXITS ON HIGHWAYS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN

CHRIS & PETE SCHOCH

EXIT NOW AND EXPAND YOUR IMAGINATION......
ART EXISTS AND SO DO ANTIQUES
SHAKE UP YOUR WORLD
MIX THINGS UP.
NO LONGER DOES ONE HAVE TO CONFORM TO A STYLE OR RECREATE A PERIOD.
IT IS UP TO YOU TO CREATE YOUR STYLE AND PUNCTUATE TODAY

CHARLES GERHARDT ANTIQUES

REFASHION YOURSELF!!!

BRIDGE YOUR IMAGINATION.....
BRIDGES PROVIDE US WITH ACCESS TO OUT OF REACH EXPERIENCES

TAKE SOMETHING SERIOUS

EDWARD HILL

AND NO SHORTAGE OF SOUGHT AFTER COLLECTIBLES, THIS SHOW IS REALLY ABOUT SUMMER AND THE DECOR TO COMPLEMENT YOUR SENSE OF STYLE.

ASW OBSERVATION #311 - THE REAL IMPORTANCE OF AN ITEM IS NOT
"WHAT WAS IT",
IT IS "WHAT DO YOU SEE IT BEING". ALMOST EVERYTHING HAS UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES . THE QUESTION IS REALLY HOW MANY USES OR OPPORTUNITIES OF DISPLAY CAN YOU THINK OF?
