Yankee Estate Sales

On Tuesday morning of this past week, we entered this Mashpee home to begin prep work for this weekend's Estate Sale.  What we discovered was an eclectic, unique, esoteric and especially quirky collection of folk craft from all over the world!!!  The family spent a lifetime in the International diplomatic corps, lived in many places around the globe and acquired choice, hand crafted items from every location.  Typical souvenirs were avoided but atypical handmade, one-of-a-kind product was respected, chosen and acquired from so many cultures and ultimately brought home to Cape Cod.  Please join us this weekend for a discovery trek around the world and take home unique treasures for your own!!!
