Collecting Concepts (ideas, musings, points of interest)...from America's Most Trusted Auction House (or ramblings on an Eclectic assortment of antique, art and vintage collecting topics...fueled by the incredible variety we encounter every day!)

Spring 2012
With such a mild winter, it wasn't surprising when a friend mentioned having had the mower out for
the third time this "spring." Grass doesn't check the calendar - it just looks for a little encouraging sunshine,
soaks up whatever moisture it can, and it's off to the races. Much like everyone else, our team is enjoying
the early spring, but we certainly aren't letting any grass grow under our feet! Emerging from the winter
antiques season, having sold four lifetime collections in a period of three months, we haven't had any time
to rest on our laurels (not that we'd want to, anyway). Plans for 2012, made in the fall, are now unfolding and keeping everyone hopping. We just completed our first Groupon promotion; started a Pinterest account (so addictive it is scary!); finished up course descriptions for our class offerings at the Chautuaqua Institution this summer; laid the groundwork for a website overhaul; and continue to fill up the calendar with lectures and appraisal days throughout the Midwest. And, of course, we've traveled near and far, gathering material for upcoming auctions - checking out and picking up consignments from Nebraska to the state of Delaware.
Gratefully, we continue to love, love, love what we do. Everyday is an adventure, every phone call is an old (or new) friend, and lots of opportunities lay ahead. Our team is growing steadily, and we are fortunate to be surrounded by people who are passionate, dedicated and genuinely interested in making customers happy.
Happy spring! We hope to hear from you soon.
