Help me help me and help my ma!
My folks have been in the antique bidness for about forty years and have accumulated a three-bedroom house full of stuff. Thanks to my mom's exceptional organizational skills, the house isn't Hoarders category, but it's a bit skeery nonetheless.

Mom's 83 and recovering from a broken hip. Stepdad is 88.

So here's the skinny: At some point in time, it'll be incumbent on me to liquidate these assets. They're mostly high-end goods and I dread the thought of an auction house stealing everything they've worked their lives to collect.

So I've set up a Ruby Lane store for them. It's in its infancy and I figure that at the rate I'm able to list stuff, I'll be 337 years old before I'm done. In the interim, I'm hoping that we can find good homes for the preponderance of these items.

Their specialty is antique Hungarian pottery, which has been ignored among the collecting class forever. It's now, finally, coming into its own. So, if nothing else a peek around their store should be interesting. Many of their museum-grade items have never been seen, and there are oodles yet to come.

Here 'tis SyLar Antiques

Hope you enjoy!

4. Thanks
There is literally a ton to go, and every time I open a box, or a dresser drawer, or a cabinet I find more goodies.
