Get on out of the house and get started with the holiday season by heading over to the Carriage House at the Southampton History Museum! Friday, November 27, and Saturday, November 28, the museum is holding a silent auction of tabletop Christmas trees created by well-known designers, including our own personal favorite Martha Stewart. The auction begins 10AM on Friday and ends at 4PM Saturday, so be sure to hop on by and bid.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there, as the Carriage House Holiday Shop opens the same days. It will be filled with the kind of great finds seen all summer in the Thrift Shop, plus lots of even better stuff the shop has been saving especially for the holidays. (So get there early to nab the nicest!) Brinf your gift list, as in addition to the amazing collection of vintage jewelry, handbags and clothes, there will be ornaments–new and vintage–stocking stuffers for children, books about Southampton, and items by local artisans.
And in the year of Covid, don’t worry. Tom Edmonds, executive director of the Southampton History Museum, says, “This is a great way to get the family out after Thanksgiving and begin a festive season. The museum grounds are a safe haven for fun with all Covid restrictions in place including limited entrance, required facemasks, temperatures taken and hand sanitizing applied before entering.”
The museum is at 17 Meeting House Lane, Southampton. See you there!
