4. Do you know what day it is? Just to show you how versatile the inventory presented by our hundreds of sellers can be, we've been researching little-known national and world-wide "holidays" that most people aren't familiar with, and matching them up with items for sale on TIAS.com.

Today is International Dance Day. Need some lessons? One of our sellers has a book from 1937 that might be just what you need!
How To Dance Art Deco Book

Visit us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TIASAntiques to read about some of the interesting and sometimes amusing "holidays"! You don't need to have a Facebook account to view that page!

5. Be sure to visit our boards on Pinterest! https://www.pinterest.com/TIASAntiques/

Visit the board for the April Birthstone: Diamond
https://www.pinterest.com/TIASAntiques/april-birthstone-diamond/

As the April birthstone, diamonds are the ideal gift. They also make up traditional engagement rings. Diamonds in shades of yellow, red, pink, blue, and green range in intensity from faint to vivid. The more saturated the color usually means higher value.
