The Joy of Collecting

Being a collector is not what you think. Don’t worry; every shelf doesn’t have to be filled to the brim, and your house will not become a hoarder’s mess. Collecting can be as simple as charms on a charm bracelet, your son’s baseball and Pokemon cards thrown in a drawer, coins, and stamps in a book, or it can be as grand as a vintage car collection.

Meet Patty

After earning my Master’s Degree in Education, my dad, who owned an auto body shop in Greenwich, had a heart attack. One of my favorite customers asked me to refinish his wrought iron patio furniture with car paint. I thought it was a challenging request, but it turned out successful! 

Meet Molly

We are so excited to be hosting this beautiful “Collected Cottage” collection on Town & Sea. Your style is impeccable, and it’s truly an honor! What do you love about Town & Sea’s online marketplace for estate sales? And why choose Town & Sea to host your sale versus a traditional estate sale or tag sale?
