Recent Acquisitions

I was able to purchase a few items from a miniature estate sale in Oklahoma City last weekend.  The estate sale included items from two collectors who had recently passed away. 
 

I found these striped porcelain dishes that I have in my 1970's house with my Hall's Lifetime Furniture Collection.  You can see my Hall's collection by clicking HERE


I also purchased a few odds and ends at the sale including this wooden bowl, a crate of grapes and a Reutter Porcelain juicer and toast caddy and the dishes shown below.


I purchased these green dishes for my 1940's Strombecker house.  It has a green kitchen.



There was a box that had these dishes and the silver punch bowl below - 
I will find a place for them somewhere!


crackers & cheese ? ( A fimo find at a garage sale)

I have quite a bit of red velvet Victorian furniture, but I hadn't seen these chairs before, so I purchased them along with this Bespaq table. I like the Lyre supports on the table- maybe in a music room?


I found these Gothic arched chairs at a local antique mall a while back.  Not sure where I will use them, but I like all of the intricate detail.



I came across this light oak carved cabinet and decided it might go nicely with these other light oak pieces that I have had for many years.( see below)


These mahogany carved chairs and tables below with white Damask Taffeta upholstery, were also at a local antique mall and the Bespaq trunk was at a garage sale that our local miniature club hosted here in Tulsa last month.


The trunk is one of my new favorite pieces.

  3. Hi, Troy - It always amazes me that you somehow manage to find all these fabulous pieces! All your new acquisitions are wonderful. Of course, I have my favorites - the green dishes make my mouth water, and I love the silver punch bowl and the damask taffeta chairs. The unique trunk is a treasure, as well. I can understand why it's one of your favorite pieces. Congratulations!
