Shop and Support Lyme disease Research and Education
A portion of each purchase will be donated to Time for Lyme
The Holiday Boutique and Appraisal Day will take place on Tuesday, October 19th, from 9:30am to 4:30pm at the Christ Church Parish Hall at 254 East Putnam Avenue in Greenwich, CT.
Two highly accomplished appraisers will be on hand at the Time for Lyme Holiday Boutique to appraise your treasures: art, books, jewelry, knick knacks, glassware, tableware and more. Lark E. Mason, Jr., owner of www.igavelauctions.com, an online art auction site, and Helen F. Kippax of The Antiques Brokerage House, Ltd, an art consulting and appraisal business, both formerly of Sotheby’s, will be at your service.
LEARN THE TRUE VALUE OF YOUR TREASURES
Ba Edwards, Time for Lyme board member and Greenwich resident, lost no time at last year’s Holiday Boutique taking advantage of the opportunity to find out the value of over a dozen things she had in her home. She brought silver pieces, porcelain and a variety of other things. Mrs. Edwards was happy to put dollar figures on items she wants to give her children.
Appraisals will be available from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Appraisers Lark Mason and Helen Kippax will accurately describe and value those mysterious items you have in your home that you always wanted to know more about. They encourage you to bring photos of pieces too heavy to carry and are also willing to receive photos by email.
Mr. Mason and Ms. Kippax will appraise items for a fee of $20.00 per item and $50.00 for three items. All of the proceeds from these appraisals will be donated to Time for Lyme. Customers can bring the actual items for appraisal or a digital photo of the item. Or, for particularly large items, an appointment can be scheduled for a home appraisal. Time for Lyme will have volunteers available at the Boutique to help with large items.
