If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know how much I adore Garth's Auction. In my humble opinion it's the very best for folk art and Americana. They've got an auction coming up May16-17th, and of course I spent a very peaceful hour or so pouring through page after page of seriously drool-worthy objects.
You can view the entire auction here - and here are the things that caught my eye.

A beautiful pitcher and bowl set. Just picture this bursting with white and green hydrangea blossoms. |
|
I love love love this urn. The form, the surface, it's perfection. |
|
The bold yellow background on this antique sign make it an especially appealing example. |
|
Such a handsome little cupboard, with loads of useful storage, and I've never seen such a vibrant shade of blue. I absolutely adore it. |
|
A fascinating sewer tile skull would make a fabulous little addition to the mantel during the halloween season. |
|
In the catalog these are unattributed (no artist is listed), but I would bet anything that they're by New Jersey folk artist Micah Williams, which makes them a rare and desirable pair of portraits indeed. |
|
Suuuuuch a sweet little green birdie. Would be adorable in my kitchen. |
|
This antique planter has the loveliest coloring, soft and unassuming. |
|
And how sweet is this antique cow portrait. I think I'm adding cow portrait to my list of must-haves. |
|
You all know I'm a sucker for the color green. The painted surface on this antique box has aged to perfection. |
|
Just picture these lined up along a shelf with a single red flower blossom in each. |
|
A terrifically folky landscape that would add charm to any wall. |
|
Reaaaallly digging this cow portraits right now. Actually, I think this is a bull. He's a handsome fellow. |
|
An absolutely stunning sofa. Why anyone buys new sofas is beyond me. You can't find style and form like this on the modern market. |
|
A pair of lemon yellow Sandwich glass oil lamps. I'd put these in front of a window where they'd just glow. |
|
And one final cow portrait- the sweetest little calf in an autumn landscape. |
You're right. Definitely drool-worthy. I love the green box, the blue cabinet, the old sign (I share your love of them) and the cow artwork. Definitely pinning several things.
