Items of Value

     This is a three-day sale because of quantity of varied items we have for sale.   It is certainly worth the drive to get there.  Our lead photo is characteristic of the stylish dining room, where you will find a table exceedingly well set with fine china and crystal under a fine chandelier of faux candles with red shades.  The china pattern is Haviland's "Saybrook".  This is one of three porcelain dinnerware sets you will find in the house along with three partial sets of fine crystal.  In addition to this you will find a cup/saucer collection in 2 rooms, filling to overflowing the cabinets.  The large 2-door lighted display cabinet in the dining room also holds a miniature blue-on-white set.   A table there we have set with handpainted goblets featuring "ladies in their hats", part of many items related to the ladies' red hat society.   The hutch contains much crystal including two sugar/creamer sets by Waterford.  Don't forget the Shirley Temple blue glass cup/plate/bowl.

      Another of the many collections in this house is Longaberger baskets, many of which are hanging on a metal rack and accompanied by changeable printed cotton liners in the dining room.  Yet another collection is miniature books, most of which we have gathered together in the family room on shelves beside the home entertainment center.  Outnumbering the baskets is the collection of candles, many of them by Yankee, offering many different fragrances, also bottles of plug-in scents.  Most of these you find on the fireplace hearth.  On the mantle are a collection of lighted ceramic houses.  Only about half of the cookbook collection is in that room. The rest are downstairs.  In the sunroom you will find the collection of White House ornaments, all hanging on an artificial tree. We have the empty boxes for each of these.

     This house has a large number of framed items.  They include 3 pairs of porcelain male/female figures, most of which we have hung in the sitting room just off the kitchen.  Another pair is to the left of the black hutch in the dining room.  Of special importance is the pair of original watercolors also in that room. They probably date from the 1920s-1930s.  Look at them for a while to figure out what is occurring in each one.   Signed limited edition prints you will find in the entry way and other rooms. 

     Count the number of roosters you find throughout the two floors.  The hallway off the kitchen has about 12 paintings/prints of roosters.  There is a large and colorful ceramic rooster in the sunroom to the right of the large dark wicker sofa.  The largest is the cast metal one sitting on a black bombe-style chest in the dining room.  The collection of roosters is beat by the number of CDs and DVDs, most of which we have grouped downstairs.  In the basement room you will also find more books, a "Fiddler on the Roof" figurine, a large statue of people praying at the Wall in Jerusalem, a cast metal boy and girl playing on a swing.  Note the 22" high horse with leather saddle, miniature rolltop desk with chair, miniature cast iron frame school desk.

     The "lady of the house" was a member of the Red Hat Club.  She outdid herself in red hats, many of them extravagant and to be found in the master bedroom.  Now you can purchase one at far less expense than she paid and dress up too.  We have put two display cases in the master bedroom to hold much of the costume jewelry, which is another collection.  The master bedroom has a black writing desk, black Asian-style furniture, black bookcase and nightstand.  In that room you will discover 3 large hand-embroidered silk-on-silk pictures plus a large assortment of decorator pillows and hat boxes.  An Art Nouveau replica table mirror awaits you while the cast resin street scene plaques you will find in the bathroom.  The collection of perfumes is both on a dresser and on the counter in the custom-build drawer/alcove system.

     The basement level has shelves of games, a popcorn machine styled as a wheeled popcorn machine cart, large coffee maker, sewing machine, more books, more figurines, partial Lionel train set with cars, track, styrofoam mountains, plus a bedroom set of light-color wood.  The large wood toy chest there is for sale along with folding chairs and ice cream parlor-style side chairs.  Beyond  the bedroom furniture, you can enter the workshop where you will find a work bench and many tools and apparatus hanging on the walls, all for sale.

     Please bring empty boxes and satchels as we have none to offer you.  Enjoy this sale, then look forward to our monthly showroom sale the weekend before Christmas in our Showrooms #1 and #2.
