Meet Your Seller
FROM UNCLE VINNY was my mother’s creation. Since I was a child, she would give extra presents to family on holidays, things that she found at thrift stores and garage sales. These gifts were handpicked for the recipient, and we always enjoyed opening them. She would sign the tag from “Uncle Vinny”, after St. Vincent de Paul’s endearing nickname, St. Vinny’s. Uncle Vinny performed his gift-giving duties under my mother’s tutelage for 50 years. Some relatives have known his presence all their lives: one cousin grew up without ever learning the truth behind our second Santa Claus, and she reached adulthood believing that we had some strange, distant uncle who sent us used presents! Today, my family still occasionally takes up Uncle Vinny’s mantle, bestowing thrifted gifts to each other in his name. I carry on the tradition in my own way, reselling vintage treasures I find at the same places mom and I used to shop together. Uncle Vinny lives on. I hope Uncle Vinny has the perfect gift here for you!

From the original card (not included): Karen Rossi began creating her unique metal "short stories" in 1987 in her Connecticut studio. Born in New England, Karen believes her fascination with "Yankee" yarns, together with figural ship embellishments, has inspired her. In particular, a remembrance of a flying Gabriel with her flowing dress on an antique vessel was most impactful as she developed her style. Each Rossi reproduction is painstakingly hand-painted and assembled with truly original panache. Each wildly colorful character sports themed accessories and a wonderful wit of its own that signatures your favorite hobby or profession. Karen's designs are internationally collected and dramatic 6-ft. to 30-ft. versions have found their way into entry halls of banks, restaurants and hospitals. Silvestri© is proud to present the magical designs of Karen Rossi to you. We hope you will cherish your work as we do.
