Saturday July 12th 9 A.M. - 3 P.M.   We are pleased to present the antiques collection of the late Sarah Lamb of Chazy, NY. The one word that described Sarah is "passionate" about her antiques collecting. Sarah spent over 30 years searching the antique shops and country auctions on the back roads and villages of Vermont and upstate New York for that wonderful "find"! Sarah restored a beautiful brick federalist home and filled it with her "treasures". We hope that you will love and cherish her "finds" and "treasures" as much as she did! The antiques business in Vermont and New York has lost a dear friend and valued customer with Sarah's passing.
