VINTAGE DAZEY "ICE CRUSHER"

I'm not sure how old this is -- late 1940's?  Still works, still hand-cranks. The ice cubes go in the top.  You crank the handle. The green cup on the bottom twists off. The crushed ice can be poured out.

PORTABLE ELECTRIC ORGAN

I've never seen anything like this!

COFFEE URN

This holds enough coffee to sober up everybody after a big bash.

VINTAGE MIX MASTER

I wanted to bring this home so badly.  My grandmother had one just like it. But I left it for somebody else to enjoy. 

BUST OF MOZART

We played Joan Reed's showtunes for him.

And he did not seem to care.

SELF HELP CLASSICS

Somebody dropped off a box of 1970s classic self-help books! Those were the good ol' days before the tedious neuroscience craze which has led us nowhere.

ICE SKATES

Not too far in the future, you might want a pair of these.

Yacht Club Discards!

Five crates were dropped off by the Orleans Yacht Club this week -- punch glasses, glass mugs, some dishes.  Members were reorganizing the kitchen and realized these things weren't being used. Come and have a look! 

  

BUD + THE CAR VAC

Bud Brown knows a good Car Vac when he sees it. And he's taking this one home. 

Cow, Sheep, Donkey + Duck Theatre Props

Barnyard animals turned up at the Gift House today and made quite a racket. The sheep were knocked out!

Mystery of the Week

Small glasses with a woman's photo, circa 1933. "Here's to Our Bet" scribbled underneath.

A SLEW OF LARGE CANVASES

Large canvases -- to hang or paint over!

WABI SABI FOR THE WALL

Friends Samantha and Sig stopped by the Gift House today and donated a few unusual ceramic wallhangings. A pair of terracotta leaves with spookily-real human faces on them were snapped up instantly. Thank you, S + S!   

FLOUR, SUGAR, COOKIES . . .

A strange set of jars. They are almost alive.

Andy and Roger

It's always great when Gift House regulars like Roger and Andy stop by. And they always find the best stuff!

KITCHEN BONANZA!!!!

The kitchen appliances are flooding the Gift House!  Crock pots, coffeemakers, Briskers! Summer is over and people are cleaning out their cottages and cabins. Now is the time to browse + scavenge!

Do you know what a Brisker is?
