This 2-day moving/retirement sale reflects decades of collecting, crafting, costume-making and decorative arts enough to create a whole new play production. You’ll find Star Wars helmets and sequined dresses beside Hallowe’en skulls, and a skeleton to boot. Also being featured is a near new 20ft shipping container and several rare assets spanning two generations. Our client was a worldly traveler, costume maker and spent many years living in the Arctic, hence the beautiful assortment of Inuit beadwork treasures found there.

From Victorian slip chairs to a 50s sectional with Queen Anne style dining, this residence holds a lot of valuable history. Collectibles include a Red Ensign Canadian flag, Egyptian papyrus art, vintage magazines and magical Christmas ornaments. More is the leather designer clothing, shoes and handbags galore plus a great selection of tapestries from many exotic countries. Lots of quality household and kitchen wares are being sold along with small appliances, woodcutting & garden tools with all the screws and drivers you’ll need for your toolbox. If you have a VHS we got hours of entertainment as well as a pastel/paint art kit for the artist and camping gear for the great outdoorser.
