5. Be sure to visit our boards on Pinterest! https://www.pinterest.com/TIASAntiques/ We've dressed them up for the holidays!

Birthstones for November: Topaz and Citrine Topaz and citrine are appropriate birthstones for November birthdays. Topaz: gemstone in a rich rainbow of colors. Prized for several thousand years in antiquity, all yellow gems in antiquity were called topaz. Citrine, the other birthstone for November is known as the "healing quartz", said to support vitality and health while encouraging and guiding hope, energy warmth within the wearer. Citrine can be found in a many shades from pastel yellow to dark brownish orange.

Here is a link to the Pinterest board featuring many beautiful examples of Topaz and Citrine: https://www.pinterest.com/TIASAntiques/november-birthstone-topaz-

7. This Week's Stories and Requests for Help We try to post stories and comments from our readers each week. Send your story to [email protected].

Ralph T sent in this "spooky" story:

"I love hearing about other people's experiences with "haunted" items, especially when it happens in an antique store. I thought I was the only one! A few years ago, I was looking through old children's books on a bookshelf in a dusty old antique store while on vacation. I was checking out one book in particular, but decided to put it back on the shelf at the end of the books. It fell over, flat on the shelf. I righted it, and it fell over again. It's probably a coincidence, but there was no reason that I could see for it to continue to fall over like that. I bought it thinking it was a sign, and I haven't seen any "activity" since it's been on my shelf. Maybe it really wanted a new home!"

If you have a "haunted" collection, drop us a note at [email protected].
