Five Must Have Mechanical Music Collectibles for the Music Box and Antique Collector
Copyright 2006 Monique Hawkins
Some music box and antique collectors may not realize that there are other forms of mechanical music to collect in addition to inlaid music boxes, musical jewelry boxes, ballerina music boxes, antique cars, antique jewelry, and other collectibles. These include Bird Organs, Barrel Pianos, the Pianola, the Welte-Mignon Orchestrion, and the Racca piano.
The Bird Organ
The bird organ is a small type of barrel organ about 6 inches square. The name comes from a type of barrel organ used to teach canaries how to sing. High pitched pipes which played simple tunes were used to teach a bird how to mimic the tune. Also known as "Serinettes", there is one collectible in Paris that dates back to 1765.

Remake old Jewelry this Mother’s Day to Remember Family
Indianapolis, IN (ContentDesk) March 27, 2006 -- Kings Crystals, an Indianapolis based Jewelry Company, has helped many ladies honor the important women in their lives who have passed away, by redesigning their old jewelry pieces into new sentimental pieces.
These new pieces serve as a reminder of their mothers, grandmothers or other meaningful women in their lives, while giving old jewelry new life. I was teary-eyed when Kings Crystals sent me the new pieces, said Amanda Campbell of her new necklace, bracelet and earring set.
Amandas grandmother passed away in 1997 and left behind loads of costume jewelry that Amanda and her mother just could not bear to throw away.
But, the styles of a 75 year old woman and a 30 year old granddaughter just werent the same.
Some of the pieces were at least 30 years old, but not the trendy vintage piece seen in stores today.Now, they are better than the pieces seen in stores today.

Digital Gram Scales
Are you looking to buy new digital gram scales? How do you know which one is right for you?
Digital scales are much more affordable today than they were a few years ago. Since the introduction of newer scales and more choices to the consumers in the market, the prices of digital gram scales have reduced considerably.
Some of the good brands of digital gram scales today are Escali, Libra and Tanita. Gram scales can be used not only for measuring the weight of gold and silver jewelry, but also the weight of food items in grams. The advantage of using digital gram scales is that they not only measure the weight of food precisely, but they also make a great gift for your friends.
As the name suggests, digital gram scales measure the weight of food items and jewelry in grams.
For converting grams into kilograms, just multiply it by thousand and use a conversion table for reference, or visit a conversion calculator online (at http: www.ex.ac.uk/trol/scol/index.htm)....
