Today, on the day before Christmas, I offer my final Christmas-themed item from auction: a jumping jack Santa Claus. He’s actually a vintage ornament for your tree. He has articulated arms and legs that allow for movement.
Pull the string, and he jumps for joy at wishing you a Merry Christmas with hopes and dreams of new Auction Finds in the coming year.

I started going to auctions to fuel my love for African American art – but at a bargain. I love the old masters: Lois Mailou Jones, Jacob Lawrence, Hughie Lee-Smith. I wanted to find their works and discover other veteran artists whose works may have been hiding in an attic or basement, and forgotten.
I’m a journalist by profession: I was a newspaper reporter and editor. Now, I’m taking what I did as a journalist – peeling back the covers of people’s lives and writing about what I found – and applying it to auctions. And I’m loving it.
Visit me often to see what I come up with. I would also like to share stories and photos of what you find and your collections. Click my Contact page.
