Most of the overflow from Daryl’s collections has either been banished to the
basement (a.k.a. “the prop room”), or is displayed in the sitting area of the
guest bedroom. “A lot of the really great things I have and love I got running
at full speed through Brimfield at dawn,” he explains. “Nowadays, we’ve slowed
down the pace and just stroll through the flea markets at nine. We both have to
agree on an item before bringing it into our home.”

The nostalgic bedside deer
lamp belonged to Daryl’s maternal great-grandmother.

Doberman is a funky find. (w) Woven Beacon blankets, also known as camp
blankets, are getting harder to find and must be in absolutely perfect
condition
(no holes or wear on cotton bindings) to meet Daryl’s
standards.
A blast from the past:
Casual art
pottery,
toys, books
with intriguing covers, decoys, and even a violin
create an homage
to Daryl’s former collection-clogged apartment.
