Mingei International Museum annual art sale returns on November 19, 2011

The Mingei International Museum's annual — and popular! — art sale returns on Saturday, November 19, 2011, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. That's if there is anything left since Museum members (like me!) get to attend a special preview event the evening before.

Mingei International Museum art saleThis is a unique event for those wanting a unique item as a gift or for your own home. Start your own art collection! Furniture, textiles, sculptures, pottery, toys....

There will be more than 4,000 art objects from throughout the world, ranging in price from a mere dollar (that's a one followed by a period and two zeroes) to around $3,000. These are art objects that have been donated to Mingei International Museum but for whatever reason don't fit into the Mingei International Museum's collections.

Purchases are by cash or credit cards only. That is, no checks!

Call 619-704-7493 for more information or visit the Mingei International Museum's web site where you can find a preview of many of the art objects.

Jim, this sounds like an opportunity to get a unique Christmas present for someone who has discerning tastes. Have fun at the art sale. It looks really neat.

Jim - I suspect that we'll be seeing pictures later ... and I for one am looking forward to them!  Have a great time ... and take the platinum card! ...

The Mingei Art Sale has to produce a unique opportunity to purchase one of a kind articles.  I hope the event is attended by many. 

Jim - I also wish to thank you for the reblog of my article, "FREEBIES for Veterans in Observance of Veteran's Day."  It is greatly appreciated!

Hi Jim - I went through the photos in your link and there is some great stuff there, and fascinating!  I especially like the wooden roosters (appropriate I suppose, since I live in Fair Oaks, famous for our chickens).  I hope it is a very successful sale and earns a lot for the museum.

Thanks to everyone for stopping by and commenting.

I’ll read through them when I return to see if any of them need a specific response. If so, I’ll respond below this comment. Otherwise, since I like to return comment for comment, I'll be by your blogs soon to do a little reading and commenting. I find that a better way to acknowledge you stopping by and commenting on my blog.

Jim, I think that the gift of art is always a great idea whether it be for Christmas or any other occasion.
