Before You Donate It

Hi, I’m Maggie. 

Before you donate it, sell it, or throw it away — let’s check it together.

I help homeowners, downsizers, collectors and families sorting an estate take a closer look at the things already sitting in the house.

We’ll turn over china, inspect maker’s marks, look at glassware, pottery, jewelry, silver, furniture, inherited pieces and those odd little things nobody quite knows what to do with.

Sometimes it’s valuable. Sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes the story is the reason to keep it.

Bring me what you found in Mom’s cabinet, Dad’s drawer, the attic, basement or donation box. Tell me what you know, and we’ll work through the clues together.

Antiques, collectibles, estate finds, vintage household items, maker’s marks and identification — without the snobbery.

Before it leaves the house, check it with Maggie.
