Can’t bear the thought of giving yet another sweater or scarf this holiday season? Here’s your chance to get something really unique for your loved ones while helping out those in need.
At the Woman’s Club of Wilmette’s 70th Annual Antiques Show and Sale you’ll find everything from furniture to maps, prints, books, linens, vintage jewelry, and more. Dealers returning this year include Ralph Spano Antiques, Neil Zuehlke Antiques, and T.S. Hotter Gallery. New dealers include Silver Acorn (miniature books and vintage jewelry), The Good Stuff (American Indian jewelry), Plain Tales (antique books), Maison Suzanne (textiles and tapestries), and Dovetail Joint Antiques (Americana and furniture).
You’ll also be able to shop for holiday foods and hostess gifts at the Holiday Boutique.
Do you have damaged glass, china, or porcelain? Bring it to the show for on-site repair by Mary Lou’s Crystal Repair, a show long-term favorite.
This year, the club has named Designs for Dignity (D4D) as a beneficiary of the antiques show. Founded in 2000, D4D engages the talents and resources of the design community to supply premier interior design items and pro bono design services to Chicago-area non-profits serving those who suffer from poverty, addiction, violence and discrimination. Rooted in the belief that a person’s everyday spaces are critical in determining his or her quality of living, D4D’s mission is focused on transforming the lives of marginalized communities by transforming spaces of the local non-profits that support them.
Proceeds will go to fund future D4D projects, as well as a current project being completed for the Warming House Youth Center in Wilmette. The Warming House Youth Center is a not-for-profit agency that provides teens a safe, supervised, and substance-free place to use after school.
