Hunting was particularly good in the forests of the ardennes, and on one good friday, hubertus went stag hunting while the others in his village attended church. Deep in the forest he came upon a great stag in a clearing and when the animal turned toward him he saw a shining crucifix between the stags antlers. Falling to his knees astonished he heard a voice from the stag telling the hunter that unless he mended his ways he would end up in the fires of hell. Hubertus asked whay he should do and the stag replied that he should see the bishop of Maestricht who would furnish him with religous guidance. Later ordained a priest he eventually became bishop of Liege. In time St. Hubertus became the patron saint of hunters. His feast day is nov. 3.

I started restoring an 1896 victorian in 1993 and the house had seen better days. I needed doors and staircase parts among other things. I contacted the owners of several buildings scheduled for demolition and bought the salvage rights to get the items i needed for my house and had a lot left over which i sold. 15 years later this is my full time job. I am always looking to buy salvage rights and architectural antiques, finders fees gladly paid. Place a Bid!
