Hearts and Cows and Luck, Oh My!

I hope everyone gets the opportunity to come and visit the sales room for the preview of the collection of Linda and Dennis Moyer. The room looks fantastic! Call 610-269-4040 to set up a time to look. It has been great “living” with these items for the past several months while at work. Come have a look so you can see how difficult it is to pick out just one item!  The quilts in the sale are so graphic and vibrant that they hurt your eyes to have a look. I go back and forth between several items as my absolute favorite of the sale. The Simmons bird tree and John Drissel box are way up on the list. Several quilts are in there as well as many of the fraktur.  It’s the perfect example of “I’ll bet you can’t pick just one”! I went with lot 463, the Pennsylvania painted tramp art comb case. Imagine the pop this would give a plain white wall! How about the hearts? The cows? The good luck horseshoe?  This just seems to pull it all together for a great piece of folk art. I love the vibrant paint. I love the form. It just works. Come and find your favorite. If you can’t be here in person, take the virtual tour on our website at pookandpook.com.
