MORNING GLORY owns and sells at THE ANTIQUE CONNECTION MALL on Historic Route 66 at 12815 Central Ave NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico, as well as on our web site, Facebook and Instagram. We are just off Interstate-40 at the foot of the beautiful Sandia Mountains. We have about 50 friendly and knowledgeable dealers in a 10,000 square foot clean and well-lit building. It is a really fun and interesting place to shop with a wide variety of antiques and collectibles. In addition, we offer maps to the other local shops, places to sit and relax a bit while shopping, and even sparkling clean bathrooms.

Happy Valentine's Day! It's said that Valentine's Day originated with the ancient Roman's festival called "Lupercalia" celebrating the beginning of Spring and it's fertility. A man called St. Valentines was executed in around 269 AD, and his name gives the holiday it's name, for reasons that don't seem to be pinned down exactly. Moving to the Middle Ages, hand made cards were exchanged, and of course that continues today.

Those romantic Victorians enjoyed sterling and gold sweetheart pins, small treasures featuring a wide variety of designs on them, many hallmarked for the 1880-1910 eras. Charming and often worn in multiples, we have a nice selection of them for you this year.

Red is the color of this holiday and some of it's symbols are hearts, cherubs and cupids. It can be celebrated by the giving of jewelry, cards, candy and flowers.

We wish you the joy of the holiday, when we have all been through some difficult times this past year. And we hope all of you are well and thriving.

And HEART jewelry is HERE!

The color RED has a wide variety of meanings, beginning with the fact that it is the color of blood, as well as symbolic of strength, passion and courage. RED can also be the color the heart and of love.

I have read that red is the third color a new baby can see, coming after white and black. Roman brides wore a red shawl to symbolize fidelity and love. And in Chinese philosophy, red is associated with fire. It's a color that certainly draws attention, and it is fun to wear in clothing, accessories and jewelry.
