“Days of Our Lives” - Daryle Lambert’s Antique and Collectible Blog - The best of the best.

We won’t again be seeing the wind tossed golden hair swirling in the wind and the smile that could melt the frown on anyone’s face. I have taken this day off in remembrance of these two and I hope all members of the Daryle Lambert’s Antique and Collectible Club will do the same in pray. Over the next few days, it is my hope that the press won’t try to scan over every hour and minute of these two people’s lives that were loved by so many. I go back to the Bible for a verse that I would like to share with them - “Who of you that hasn’t sinned let him be the first to cast a stone. My prayer is for the ones left behind - their children, parents, friends and others that will feel a loss for the rest of their lives.

“Are Paintings for You?” - Daryle Lambert’s Antique and Collectible Blog - I hope so

I shared with you several times that Fine Art was the last frontier for me to conquer and that is why I waited so long to include art in my plan for success. Yes you will occasionally find a person that just falls into a real treasure in the form of a painting but I will show you hundreds of times where the ultimate winner on a painting isn’t the first one to find it. For instance the finder may pay $1500 for a painting and turn it quickly for $3000 and he is totally satisfied and met the standard for what we at the “Daryle Lambert’s Antique and Collectible Club” wish to achieve. You can very easily be intimidated by the Fine Art field but that is where I hope that the Club plus me individually can make that journey into a very difficult field easier for you. But remember if you don’t include us then there is very little we can do for you, so call and email with all the questions that cross your mind and I promise we will never get tired of answering them for you.

“When is Low, Low Enough?” - Daryle Lambert’s Antique and Collectible Blog - I wish I knew.

This is a question that I am sure you are asking yourself each time you want to make an offer, even if it is a bargain. Unfortunately today you may have to hold some items a little longer then you would like or that I have told you to hold them but these aren’t ordinary times. My family are all healthy and if you know me I haven’t missed a meal, however I do have friends that are suffering and have just lost love ones so please pray for Helen and Jane’s children that they will find peace, God Bless.

“Why Just One?” - Daryle Lambert’s Antique and Collectible Blog – Another Glass Master.

There isn’t anything like a pow wow or a sun dance to make you yearn for the days of old when people where free and roamed the open plains of the West. However, many of the skills that the older members of the tribes possessed have been lost and I don’t think that the young will ever recover them. Further training at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Deer Isle, Maine, led to a period of study at Pilchuck Glass School, where he served as studio assistant to Dale Chihuly, the acknowledged master of American Glass Art. During the past year, Jojola was prominently featured in a traveling exhibition of Native American Artists working in glass organized by the Museum of Craft & Folk Art in San Francisco. I suggest that you go to Yahoo and type in Tony Jojola and study his works, because if I asked 1000 people standing in line at a garage or house sale who he is, I doubt that there would be a single person that would know of him.

“It May Be Time” - Daryle Lambert’s Antique and Collectible Blog – I took the step today.

Well for the last few months it has been very difficult for me to get motivated and do the things I need to do to continue my march in the “Million Dollar Race. I believe that the public is again starting to shop for Antiques and Collectibles and it is up to us to provide them the opportunity to find them. From the start I have always said there was no way to fail in this business if you followed the rules that I have given you in my book “31 Steps to Your Millions in Antiques and Collectibles. I think it is time for me to put my shoulder back to the plow as they say in the country and I hope that you will be with me.
