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 Apple Day. Love this Royal Bayreuth Figural Apple Creamer! http://www.tias.com/royal-bayreuth-figural-apple-creamer-599614
.html[wraps]

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/

The birthstone for October is: Opal

We found a few different references to October birthstones: pink tourmaline, rose zircon and opals. Visit http://www.tias.com for more examples of the various birthstones available.

Here is a link to the Pinterest board featuring many beautiful examples of Opals:
