Friends !

Hello... just wanted to share a new listing from my friend Karen of fineoldthings
Now...Karen was my first friend when I joined etsy .... We both started our vintage shops around the same time... and went through the same "hair pulling" experiments on both our shops ... We have laughed, griped, cried and shared the pains and joys of online selling  .... here goes one of her recent finds of a vintage Infant Jesus of Prague statue... Karen lives in Itasca, Illinois... and this is a local find .... Check her statuette out by clicking on the picture below or visiting her shop at http://www.fineoldthings.etsy.com/

Christmas Collection of Infant Jesus of Prague Statues - Coming Soon @ moXieantiques

Good evening everyone, it's Melinda from m o X i e a n t i q u e s
Just wanted to provide a few updates and things to look forward to ....

We will be releasing our Xmas collection of Infant Jesus of Prague statues soon.... got to take those lovely shots.... just in time for Christmas ... what can be more wonderful than this whimsical figure heralding your home this Christmas? Let us relive old faith traditions .... and enjoy the season!!!! Xmas wishes and Infant Jesus of Prague statues to be released soon @ moXieantiques .... !!! Even if you are not Catholic by religion... one cannot help but get fascinated by this wonderful ancient wax doll .... that had such history of devotions by saints and fellowmen.... What is it about this whimsical figure... and who is he?... Those were questions I have asked .... maybe it is now your turn! Everything works its way in wonderful ways and we invite you to keep up and follow us on our Xmas Release .... and just so you know ... it is ok to buy the statue you love first ... and figure it out afterwords!!!! That is how it happened for me!!!

This brings to mind a prayer ... Donna (the lady we partner with to restore this lovely Lourdes statue..do you recall our blogpost.)... had sent me.... of a famous prayer by Saint Anselm ....

"I yearn to understand some measure of thy truth which my heart believes and loves. For I do not seek to understand in order to have faith, but I have faith in order to understand. For I believe this: I shall not understand unless I have faith" by Saint Anselm

Some wonderful insight for the day on having and keeping faith !!!

And here you go.... @ moXieantiques .... we believe in keeping faith one day at a time... and having fun while doing that!  We specialize in European statues and home decor... we source unique vintage treasures for your home and heart!!! If you find us on our blog.. we invite you to follow us...





We love all our customers, past and present ... and working on our Xmas surprise!!! You are the reason we exist....Love.... Peace .... Blessings.... xoxo....
