Here's a nice find I had a few weeks back at a flea market. Very nice vintage velvet!
I ran right across the room when I saw her hanging there. I asked the guy how much and he said $30.00. I said "$30.00?" He said "How about $20.00?" I said "sounds good". Paid the man and was grinning the rest of the day. I was just shocked that he was asking $30.00. I thought it would be more. I didn't mean anyhting when I repeated the amount that he said I was just checking out the velvet and thinking about it. Saved myself $10.00 and didn't even have to do anything!! Oh, and that's $20.00 Canadian funds which is like $4.50 US (HA HA!)

I know nothing about this painting and the other day was on ebay and saw a cooking book which has the exact picture of the same girl on it! Pretty cool! The girl jogged my memory now and I went to my Hawaiian album collection and sure enough in my collection was a album form the Polynesian Cultural center advertising Hawaii and sure enough there's a picture of the same girl!! Pretty cool to have a velvet that was done probably from the same photos. Would be a good investigation once I get some time. Thought some of you might be interested. Mahalo! Dan
