We were in Georgetown for the first time to do a vintage gentleman's farm during the hottest part of this summer. The home/barn/sheds featured artwork, oils, watercolors, acrylic, many done by the owner. The owner had been a dentist but more importantly a real renaissance man capable of doing almost anything. The home also had African sculptures, Native American pieces, Eskimo pieces and lots of vintage furnishing. It was a very hot sale (in many ways).....one we will not easily forget.

The Curious Cat visited the homesite of Elizabeth How, one of the original alleged witches in the Salem territory. In its place currently Isits a beautiful reproduction early American Colonial. The home and property is oozing in history and housed many vintage and antique books about Ipswich and surrounding community. Along with many books were many pieces of artwork including British artwork much of which could be found in the British man-cave in the basement. It was a great sale!

We traveled to Dracut, the first sale we have ever done in Dracut in 15+ years, to help liquidate a beautiful home on Arbour Drive. The style was definitely modern. Some pieces were brought in by the owner from outside the home but we were fortunate to be able to liquidate the majority of the items.

The Curious Cat returned to Andover to liquidate a beautiful two family home with a pool. High points of the sale were many Disney items, collectible dolls, a vintage piano, antiques, and china. While tempting, we did not go into the pool.

This was one of the most beautiful homes we have had the pleasure of doing. Located in the shadows of Brooks School the home was full of top of the line furnishings from Arhaus to Restoration Hardware. During the sale we even got a visit from a big mother snapping turtle! We were able to sell about 95% of the items in the house so it was a very successful sale.

We traveled to the Secret Garden on Upland Rd in Andover Ma. This antique farmhouse was packed with wonderful artwork, oils, water colors, acrylic, pottery, all displayed in between fine cherry furnishings. We were able to sell or liquidate nearly every item in the home. It was one of our best sales!!!!

The Curious Cat visited the home of a Boston Globe writer and we were amazed at the contents. It was a collector's dream house. The home was full of Disney magazines and collectibles. Comic books such as MAD and horror books were found by the hundreds. We also found a huge lot of LIFE magazines from the thirties and fourties! But the most special magazine was a single 2007 reprint of the first Playboy with Marylin Monroe on the cover. You never know what you may find in a home.

March 15-16, Lynnfield Ma Spring is trying…the crocuses are up!!!! The Curious Cat was back in Lynnfield for its third sale in 2 months. This gorgeous moderate sized cape house was a bit deceptive as it housed many top of the line items and furnishings, many Ethan Allen, Heritage, Baccarat, Henredon, Chippendale, Waterford, and more. The home featured some mid century items along with Americana and a beautiful Tibetan rug. Artwork by Tarr, Gillespie, and others also graced the home.

Welcome to a new year! The Curious Cat was visiting a winter ice-covered wonderland in Boxford. Conditions were difficult and we even considered cancelling the Sunday sale but we did not and we were amazed at how Many folks came out in less than ideal conditions! The home featured some mid century Items including furnishings, rugs, many pieces of artwork, lamps, collectibles, glassware and silver.
