The Needle and Eye
Dollhouse Shop

93 year old Greta Weinberger ran a dollhouse shop in Potomac, Maryland and in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia throughout the 80's and 90's traveling around the country to assemble an assortment of treasures to delight her customers. This estate sale consists of items she couldn't part with, once she ceased operations before the new millennium.
I'm excited to share her treasures and help find new happy homes for these miniature treasures. Stay tuned for details on when the sale will begin and you can start to shop!

Tom & Lois Sawtell Collection
Lifetime of Learning and Love
Early Fall/ September 2022
My latest estate auction included artisan miniatures as well as pieces which were crafted by Tom and Lois Sawtell, a couple from Guilford, Connecticut, who were skilled miniaturists in their own right. A selection of pieces included in the sale can found in the photos below.
​
The pair spent their retirement years taking expert level classes at the famed Guild School in Castine, Maine and at the annual Guild Study Program in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Many of the pieces available in this sale were masterfully designed and prepared for students to build by Guild Artisan and Fellow instructors (and some of the best educators on the planet) including Mark Murphy, Carol Hardy, Sally and George Hoffman, Sue Rountree and others.
​
I'm was thrilled to have the opportunity to tell their story, share their work and collection and find happy new homes for their adored treasures.
