The band was the most photographed in the world and there are plenty of prints and posters to choose from. Original posters and tickets for concerts are popular, as are concert programs from landmark events, such as the 1964 performance at Carnegie Hall.

Import records, including those from Germany and Japan, are also popular and any record that has an alternative cover.
Visitors to The Beatles Museum in Liverpool, the band’s home city, are treated to lots of memorabilia and there are items for sale in the gift shop.

My grandfather used to fix mechanical pocket watches as a hobby. I didn’t understand him. There were many things I didn’t understand about him, but to me this was one of the most baffling. He was so quaint about so many things. He knew about digital watches – he wasn’t that out of touch. Nevertheless, he seemed to eschew many of the conveniences of modern technology. Why would anyone spend time fixing an ornate, antique pocket watch when he could get a cheap digital watch instead? To me, it just didn’t make any sense. It seemed like he was wasting hours and hours.
I was the exact opposite of him, and we frequently got on each other’s nerves.

The quartz crystal family is a large one. There are many kinds of quartz crystals that differ in shape, form, and color. Some examples would be citrine and rose quartz, which look entirely different from each other. But even among the clear/colorless, or milk white variety of quartz, there are also many “formations” identified and described. One of the most well know are the double terminated quartz crystals.

Double terminated quartz crystals are quite rare, and therefore, considered as collectors items. These quartz crystals can also be found for other color varieties of quartz, like amethyst or smoky quartz, but they are also rarer.

Among New Age healers, they consider double terminated crystals to be more potent than the normal single terminated crystals. Double terminated crystals are believed to be more efficient in conducting energy both upwards and downwards, through their double points.

It has taken a long time to get to this point. The history of coffee percolators dates back almost 200 years when a metal smith invented the first percolator. It was rather crude compared to the deluxe models that exist today, but what a fantastic collectible one of those early machines would be if you could find one. Now of course coffee technology has advanced to the point where machines can brew a perfect cup every time. But what took place between that first machine and now is nothing short of astounding.

At 23 he had his first exhibition in Boston, it was a display of his watercolors. Although he enjoyed painting his native city, he was convinced by a close friend to travel to Europe to “step outside the box”. He and his friend, Edmund H. Garret, traveled all throughout Europe studying his impressionist forefathers. After establishing his reputation in Boston and studying in Europe, he settled in New York .

Early in his painting career he painted the European countryside, but he was most famous for his depiction of the worlds biggest cities, Paris, New York, and Boston. My favorite was always Boston Common at Twilight, an oil on canvas that my parents had a print of hanging in our livingroom. Although most of his fame came from his cityscape portraits, his most favorite landscapes were of the New England coast.
