The Dutch Estate just keeps getting better and better ~ Phoebe's

Holy Moley, the more we unpack the more treasure we find.

This little sterling baby spoon was in a bag of lobster crackers and lobster forks, Yikes, it could have ended up in Joe's auction!
and there is lots of art work signed by the artists as well


This is an oil on canvass signed Zander 1947

Cool British Railway label. In Flemish or Dutch??? Thought you might like to see one.

To my shear joy there were 4 old fashioned iced cube trays.
I kept the banged up ones and we put these 2 in the shop.
They don't make em like this anymore and I will never have ice cubes fly under the stove again while trying to wrestle them from plastic "twist-em" ice cube trays!! Nice big ice cubes too.
Little things make me so happy....lol

Ok here are just a few more things from this estate. I am off today but will put up more pics soon.
We are open all weekend just I need some R & R

HP Hibiscus w wire on back for hanging

Lot's of tins and bottles tucked in every nook and cranny of the shop

wood things and tons of baskets both old and new

chachkies

and this lady could not lay off the pewter
tons of it,

Wishing you all a Happy Labor Day Weekend!





Wanted Vintage Doilies Linens Barkcloth Table Runners Antimacassars

Vintage Doilies Linens Bark cloth Table Runners Antimacassar's
Sorry no quilts. They just don't seem to sell like they use to.
Will pay cash or trade for shop merchandise.
Please no stains, rips or smells accepted.
Call or stop by the shop.
We always keep a supply on hand and these are some of out best sellers.
Like I always say, our prices are more than reasonable and I don't think we have ever charged more than 10 bucks tops for the fanciest of fancies. So our payout would be fair based on our selling price.

Thank you in advance

What's an Antimacassar  you say....
I guess the best way to describe them is a larger doily designed to sit on the headrest of an upholstered chair to guard against men's hair pomade/ Brill Cream from the 40's and 50's.

Well crafted and in excellent condition. Um really clean as well.

Even the original cobalt bucket underneath.
We never put a price on it but it is time to go to make room as our storage is filled to the brim.
Ahh speaking of Brim...Brimfield fast approaches. We have many well priced items for your consideration.
