    Hello Friends,
    I haven't been on for awhile just being a busy bee. I need some advice, please! In my quest to locate vintage jewelry pieces for my boutique. I came across a wonderful woman whose mother owned an antique shop in Canada and was an avid antique collector herself. Unfortunately, her mother recently passed away and she was left the emotional task of liquidating her mother's estate.

    As a collector, she had a variety of items from vintage jewelry to home decor, art and more. I've purchased her entire costume jewelry collection and she was so kind to throw in a ton of smalls and other items. Unfortunately, if it's not jewelry related. It will not go in my boutique. I am trying to find some collectors who can find a good home for these items at extremely reasonable prices. Some of the collections consists of 1 or more of :
    Letter opener, old glass perfume bottles and others, old playing cards, tie bars, cufflinks, many smalls matches, antique sewing items,antique measuring tape, small wooden figures,cigarette holders, wine openers and some items that I am not sure what they are. Any advice on how to find collectors who might be interested would be greatly appreciated.

    There's a huge market for sewing items if they're old enough.

    @KingofThings - I just looked at your profile and don't see anything about what you collect and look for. Can you post a link here or tell me how to find your list?

    I know you like Statue of Liberty items and seem to remember you talking about children's books, but that's all I know.

    I see tatting shuttles, a boot hook, two pair of sugar tongs, and a purple thing.

    Okay, I found it.
    It was under the 'Information' tab, though. I didn't see a tab for Personal Details.

    The first time I looked at the picture, I thought the tongs were a pair of spurs for a split second, LOL.

    I'm getting the hang of it now:). I will post more items tomorrow in groups. I just really need to move it all to make room for my jewelry collection. Thank you and good night everyone, sweet dreams.
