Fall is just around the corner, the sizzling heat and smoke will soon be a thing of the past, and Marian and Peter Blundell, Independent Art and Antiques Appraisers from Vernon, will be joining us on Saturday September 15th - from 10:00am to 4:30pm to view and assess your hidden art, treasures, and the summer garage sale finds. And there are always some good finds to be found!

Come to the Art & Antique Appraisal Day at the Vernon Museum, watch the appraisals and meet others who also have interesting items/questions on Grandma's favourite teapot, vase, statue, sterling silver or maybe another 'out of this world' painting.  "You know the story of the Tom Thompson work of art - found in Vernon - and was later sold at Heffel Fine Art Auction House for a rather good price last May," shares appraiser Marian Blundell.  Maybe this could be you!

Do you have one of these little hidden gems?  You can ask Marian and Peter anything, but you only have 15 minutes for each appointment, with a maximum of three items per session.  You can always book a second or third appointment though!

Downsizing?  Yes, we are all doing that believe it or not.  Now is a great time for those questions - How to sort? - How to organize?  What is good?  What is Salvation Army /Value Village/The Schubert Centre Recycling/Gleaners.  Dust it off!  Unwrap it from the forgotten tucked away box!  That painting hanging behind the furnace.  Planning a garage sale soon?  If you are not sure about an item- check with Marian and Peter at the appraisal day. They know the value!!!

Don't forget furniture! Yes, they do that also.  If it is too big to bring, then take a photo, measurements, and bring a drawer with you so they can check for age.

A 15 minute appointment is $50 for a Verbal-Opinion-of-Value Assessment on a maximum of three items.

Call the Vernon Museum at 250-542-3142 to book your appointment, and tell us what you would like to bring. Pre-payment is required to reserve your spot. We ask that photos be sent to the museum prior to the event to allow the Blundells to do pre-show research. For more information please call the museum, visit www.vernonmuseum.ca<http://www.vernonmuseum.ca> or find us on facebook.

Please note, the Blundells do not assess jewellery, coins, guns (swords are okay), stamps, wrist watches (pocket watches are good).
