Auctions in the works...

We had the good fortune today to pick up several more vintage 1950s-1960s hats that we will soon be offering for sale--there are a few we think you will particularly like. A couple are absolutely striking. At least one is quite whimsical. (Of course, it's all in the eye of the beholder.)

I am always thrilled to handle vintage clothing and accessories, and a huge smile spreads across my face whenever one of our customers drags the hat boxes out of the attic. We may have some vintage 50's clothing available in a couple of weeks as well.

 Also, we will be selling 25+ Breyer horses that have been played with but are generally in very good condition, considering they were purchased in the 70s. They are not in their boxes but have been carefully stored. We'll start sorting through them tomorrow.

We hope to concurrently auction a number of older hardcover horse fiction books that seem to be in great shape. As always, we will give you all the details in the postings.

We may be offering in the near future a complete Avon nativity (vintage 1980s) in all white porcelain. They have been displayed in their owner's home annually, but have been stored carefully in their original boxes. We hope to be offering this beautiful collection within the next few weeks.

We also hope to soon be offering a Native American crafted Blackfoot rattle, all made of antique elements including the fabric (wool), beads, horsehair, rivets, a woven porcupine quill motif, etc. This item is not signed, but it was crafted in the 80's.

Additionally, we will be offering a Native American bone breastplate made by Coho that had been purchased as a wallhanging. The owner is currently searching for additional information about this item including an informal, signed certificate of authenticity she received at purchase. She does know it was crafted  from all real items (rather than plastic beads, fake bone, etc.). This was originally a very pricey item.

I almost forgot to mention that we'll be putting up another pair of Tabra earrings! We have a following that gets very excited about them, and I have to admit I like the style of Tabra earrings myself. A lot. (Yes, we'll be putting them up for auction. After they are pried from my clenched fingers!)
