Longtime friends and collectors, Rita Larson and Robin Nordhues are bringing a bit of everything to their collaboration for the Vintage & Artisan Market, opening in Starbuck on August 5th & 6th.

Collector Robin Nordhues favors McCoy Pottery, the ornate yet functional stoneware, and Milk glass, the opaque glassware, will be featured alongside vintage framed art, antique picnic baskets, and tin toys.

“The tin toys are fantastic display items,” Nordhues says. “The graphics are amazing. And they’re fun to play with of course, at any age.” The pair’s booth showcases unaltered antiques, patina and all, with original artwork on the tin toys and picnic baskets.

“I love old jewelry, vintage purses, tableware, and linens,” Nordhues shares. “Each piece that was first owned by a woman or used by a woman connects me to women in the past.”

The two women now presenting their collection are ready to delight market goers and pass each piece along to its next home.
