NEWS FLASH
HI Everyone,
Just a quick update to let you know whats been going on here at Pretty Penny:
We just bought hundreds of pieces from a "deco show" dealer. Most of the pieces are from 1920-1950 and in MINT condition. We have established a relationship with the dealer and will be continuing to get vintage items from her in the future.
We recently purchased tons of new styles of vintage/new sunglasses.
The art show is up for another few weeks, all the art is for sale...plus we have prints of the paintings and drawings.
hope to see you soon.
