Over the years, the Artknits have collected over 1,000 vintage items from the 1800s and the early 1900s. Our stuff like jewellery, knitted items, old photos, books, and many other stuff. Many of our stuff had associated with the history of Italy and other types of inventions. We have areas of strength such as:
•Jewellery

Starting in 2010, we have done our collections in photo frames and our old photo collections to put on our dining room. We have showcase a lots of items like our popular golden earrings from 1897 and our knitted shawls, toys, clocks, blankets, and hats from 1902-1989. We have used those items for events and show and tell days. When we donate items, we have purchased some artifacts with funds, and someone use it to make other things.
