Don’t Miss This Event The Old World Wisconsin, 30Th Star Benefit Auction

With the winter antique shows in our area finished for the year, Valerie and I will have some time to shop for some goodies for our own collections and for our customer “Wants”.

With great anticipation we look forward to one of those must see events for antiquaries, the semi annual  30th Star Benefit Antiques Auction on Friday, April 25, 2014 – Saturday, April 26, 2014

Hundreds of treasures, from classic to kitschy, will be available to the highest bidder as the FRIENDS of the Wisconsin Historical Society hold this biennial auction to benefit restoration projects at Black Point Estate in Lake Geneva. The Wisconsin Antiques Dealers Association generously sponsors the 30th Star Benefit Antiques Auction.  The event is held at Old World Wisconsin’s historic Clausing Barn.

Old World Wisconsin is an open-air museum located near Eagle, Wisconsin. Opened in 1976, the museum is owned and operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society. It portrays housing and the daily life of immigrants in 19th century Wisconsin.

We always enjoy this event, it offers an opportunity to see and learn from the great treasures offered for bids, talk to other like minded individuals, and benefit a great cause. And as dealers and collectors, we all are interested in preserving the past for future generations to see and understand the history we hope to preserve and pass on to the next generation of antique visit-restaurantcollectors.

West Bend Antique Show, What a Great Day For Antique Hunters

Our booth was set up and waiting for the doors to open on the first day of the West Bend Antique Show on Saturday, January 18, 2014. We had spent a great deal of time on preparing for this event, readying a variety of antiques, many purchased on a recent Southern buying trip and on other adventures over the last year. The crowd was waiting for the doors to open on Saturday.  Nona and Skip of NL Promotions always draw a large crowd for this great event and at their Elkhorn Antique Markets in summer.

This two day show has been and continues to be the place where we bring our best finds; we title them our “A” Game. It may be that time of year when you’re finally buying something for yourself instead of gifts for family, friends or co-workers. Or after the holiday decor’ was put away, you see a gap on the wall or a place around the room that needs filling.

What better place than an antique show to reward yourself with a special find for your collecting or decorating needs?  Val spent the better part of two weeks just getting the antiques selected, priced and packed for this show. She chooses items from our stock that reflect current trends in the market; things that are hot and determining what is not.  She does her best to group items that are similar, but at different price points, since pricing must reflect what the buyer is willing to pay.

Friday was setup, with some extra time to chat with our fellow dealers, companions from here and other shows. We have a look around to view the other booths and marvel at the great stuff different sellers have to offer. We even find a treasure or two for our own collections!

As always we had a great time, enjoyed the conversations with our customers, shared our stories and listened to their tales on the joy of finding antique treasures.

We will continue to search for the oddities you have come to expect from No Egrets Antiques, and hope to see you at Cabin Fever Flea Market at the Knights Of Columbus Hall, 1800 S. 92nd Street, West Allis Wisconsin. It will be held on Sunday, March 2nd.  Just look for the guy with the tie.

Just a reminder: We are always interested in discussing items you may want to sell, either directly or through our estate sale service. No Egrets is reachable by email- noegrets@asapnet.net or 414-916-7829 to discuss your options, and see our Estate Sale site for more information.

 

 

Pontiac Center Hosts the Janesville WI Antique Show For Hardy Collectors

Our first visit to the Janesville, WI Antique Show was several years back, and set our desire to one day have a booth of our own at this well-attended event. This year we finally had our chance, and despite weather conditions that kept polar bears indoors, we had a very good show.

Our hosts are Steve and Thelma, two hard-working individuals that organize and conduct this event. What a great gathering of antiques and collectibles brought to the show by individual dealers from around the surrounding states. Whether your interest was limited to marbles or post cards, furniture or glass, jewelry or paintings, wall art or fancy lamps, sports collectibles or vintage cameras, toys or tools, primitives or Mid-century, one of the booths had just what you wanted.

Our weather was the worst in memory with snow and extreme cold, and yet many hardy folks braved the elements to purchase a special item for their collection, decorating or to wear. The chance to discuss our array of collectibles and listen to what drives the true collectors in the pursuit of one more object for their hobby of collecting is alway a lively chat. We look forward to participating in next year’s event and hope our luck with the weather is better than this year.

Our next event is the West Bend Wisconsin Antique Show, an NL Promotions production. The dates are January 18th  and 19th. Nona and Skip (of Elkhorn Antique Markets fame) always put on a great event.

No Egrets booth will contain fresh antiques (Oxymoron) and collectibles gathered on a recent trip into the Southeastern states.

Our booth location on the back wall is the same place we have occupied for a number of years at this event. Watch for the No Egrets booth sign, and continue to check back for future shows and or estate sales we conduct. We’ll see you there.

No Egrets Estate Sales

We completed an estate sale in St. Francis WI. A very attractive home in a wonderful neighborhood. Filled with collections that centered on every Holiday, and nice furnishings that include several TVs, a large, very mid century radio-phonograph, and great drop leaf table and chairs.

It was amazing to meet so many interested buyers from all over the neighborhood and returning customers from our previous sales, some traveling a good distance to view and purchase items from this sale.

Please continue to catch us at Elkhorn in booth 216 and watch for our future estate sales in your local paper.
