This is truly something special: A quiet moment prayer sculpture of solid resin stone created by Timothy P. Schalz.
For over 25 years, Timothy has been sculpting sculptures that have been installed worldwide. Some of his most reputed pieces are installed in historical churches in Rome and at the Vatican. Timothy describes his most important work as visual translations of the Bible. Although most of his work is based upon a spiritual theme, he also creates large, complex public sculptures in bronze. Some of these include monuments that honour veterans and firefighters. Timothy strives to create epic artwork that connects with viewers through design and details that not only touch the viewer on an emotional level, but also allow them to feel somewhat a 'part' of the piece.
It's never too early to plan for Christmas - and this set is just the ticket. Buy them now and put them aside - you'll be so glad when your holiday table is set. Here is service for 4 featuring the brightest red placemats - clear glass chargers - appetizer plates - and tidbit bowls which bring a message of HOPE and PEACE - a message that is appropriate at Christmas and all the year through.

Ashley Gale describes herself as an artist who presents "hand-painted home accents designed to bring joy!" And, this little pink gingham pumpkin she made lives up to its purpose.

Let it be your centerpiece - your mantle star - your thing that you have that everyone wants.
This exquisite blue and white vase stands 18 inches tall - no wimpy flowers need apply. Instead, picture this vase filled with sunflowers - or glads - or lilies - OR IRISES! And picture it going home with you. If you love it like we think you do, bid and bag it now - AND consider its beautiful sister - a blue and white speckled vase hiding out at #407. They would make a terrific pair.
Nothing says serving and hosting sophistication like a beautifully designed cheese or charcuterie board - and would you take a look at this! This board is made of natural bamboo which is eco-friendly and safe - and it comes ready with all the right sized slicers and servers. Bid on this - then, when next you entertain - boldly arrange fruits, cheeses, crackers, and spreads, then pile on the meats. Just like that: Tray sophistication.
The first thing you may have noticed is that the colors are exquisite. They blend and shimmer, reflecting the light. If you've been looking for that one piece - something unique that will set your table apart, look again. This really might be it. One of a kind (like you), this is a pottery leaf dish you could love.
Border collies are widely considered to be the most intelligent of all dog breeds - and the people who love them? They are pretty special, too. If there is a beloved border collie in your life - dash up your home with this whimsical tribute pillow. (We threw in the throw because they looked so great together.)
"... they shall mount up like wings of eagles ..." If this verse speaks to you, look closely at this frosted glass vase. The artistry of the eagle is a work of art and the bottom is stamped with the words of this powerful passage from Isaiah. Looking at the vase each day, you'll be reminded of the truth God's word reveals.
It's not complicated. This is a delightful, whimsical, handmade pottery tray - with a happy dragonfly right on it ... and you love it! There doesn't have to be a reason other than looking at it sparks joy. If it does, bid away. (But be warned: You will not be the only one. Everyone loves the dragonfly!)
This little guy not only looks good (really good, we meant to say) - but it works, too! Yes! It is a completely functioning handmade tiki torch for your patio or porch - and it's all ready to light your way.
The maple and pinewood box was handmade and it is ideal for storing lap blankets - like the one that is included! There are also too many N.C. items to name - aprons and caps, ornaments, maps, towels, a cutting board, and a yummy yummy bottle of Blueberry Wine. This is a veritable treasure trove and you will enjoy unwrapping each and every thing. And that beautiful pine? It will thrive in your home (even if its first name is Kentucky).
Show off your love of state with this wreath of dogwood, cardinals, and pine cones. Hanging on your front door, it will welcome your guests all year long.
This is a show-stopping pottery bowl that could grace your home for years. The artist - Dan Finch - is an award-winning potter from Bailey. His work has been featured in the Charlotte Mint Museum, the NC Museum of Handicrafts, and the Odgen Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans. And - after tonight - his work will also be featured in the home of its highest bidder. Will it be you?? (Or will it be me??)
This pottery piece is special for a few reasons. First it's so beautiful. Really exquisite - look at the detail. Next it's bold. The colors call out from across the room. Put this on a table and people will notice. But here's another reason it's special, and this one you might not realize until you bid it, win it, and get it home: The leaf is reversible. Both sides reveal the artistry - both sides are ready to show. This piece is a keeper and - we predict - one of the crowd favorites tonight.
Who doesn't love a unique serving piece? This gorgeous duo's theme is realized with sand-textured shells on a sea-blue base. The round tray will hold your cheese and crackers and the cup is ready for your dips, relish, jams, and sauces. Sweet!
Did you see it right away? This bowl is custom made ... from pine needles. (We'll wait while you look again.) There's a real artistry on display here - and it's a celebration of a natural material cultural tradition that originated with Indigenous Americans from this region.
Collectors are lining up - those who love their wooden ducks will not be able to pass this fella by. (Heck, non-collectors think this guy is pretty special, too.) If you love this hand-carved painted wood duck sitting on a pinewood base, our advice is bid early and bid often. This guy is worth a fight.
You're lingering, wondering if you should bid on this. Look at that face and ponder these questions - Do you love corgis? You should probably bid. Do you have a corgi? Then, yes, you should bid. Do you know deep down that there is a corgi in your future? You should definitely bid. Still hesitating? Then do it in memory of the queen. Hand woven pine needle tray with embedded wood carved painted corgi. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth would have loved this.
The Wedding Vase is perhaps the most popular Native American pottery. Traditionally given to the bride and groom for their wedding, it is crafted with two vase necks (representing the spouses) joined by a handle (in the image of their union). The circle formed by these elements symbolizes the common life of the spouses. This example is intricately made and would make a very beautiful wedding or anniversary gift.
This is a rug that - while warm on your feet - will brighten up any room. It's a STEMS style, hand-tufted in wool with light blues, greys, a little brown, and a splash of gold. It's 5 x 8 and will probably fit right in your car. It could be on your floor before the night is over.
For the green thumb you have and the green thumb you pretend to have - these are excellent choices. Here's a quick guide on these selections -
We call this beautiful bowl "Beautiful 85" because it is handcrafted - yes! - with 85 pieces of maple and walnut wood. It could be an unbelievably thoughtful birthday gift for someone you love who is turning 85. (Imagine at the party that everyone writes down a favorite memory and tucks it in the bowl!) OR, you know, you could just keep this one for yourself.
Does anything say "Merry Christmas" like a snowman painted on an oyster shell? These were designed as ornaments but we think they are fun any time of the year. Don't you??
Who has cooked more meals for you than anyone else in your life? Celebrate them with a set of GOAT towels - adorable and useful - they also pair well with cheese (sold separately).

Just so you know, Valentine's Day is coming -
The picture does not do it justice. This is a pendant as subtle and complex as you are. Add your own chain - you'll want to wear it every day.
You're wishing you had this yesterday (then you could have actually worn it tonight). This kind of treasure could only come from Stella & Dot. Vintage-style rhinestone necklace - it will glam up every look. (We think it will also look amazing with jeans.)
For when you need just a drop of color - beautiful (pierced) earrings - drop style. Made for you.
You may not be able to tell this from the pic, but these darling little (pierced) earrings feature a dangling black heart. Give it to anyone who has ever read O Caledonia. Or anyone who likes hearts, or black accessories, or has pierced ears. And if you know someone who checks ALL of those boxes - why are you still reading this? You should spend all of your time bidding.

Duh duh - duh duh duh DUH duh - duh duh duh Duh duh - duh duh duh duh. (Did you recognize that as the Star Wars theme song?) If you love Star Wars OR if you love LEGO - get going with these -
There is literally something for everyone here - sci fi, fiction, nonfiction, a children's book, and a book of amazing travel landmarks that didn't show up in the pic. They come in their own Quail Ridge tote - AND we've tossed in a $25 gift card so you can get your own copy of Spare.
PRO TIP - The Backyard Bird Watcher's Book would be the PERFECT companion to #444 - the tidy cylinder bird feeder.
Simple circuits ... big imaginations. There is nothing as wonderful as watching a child discover what she can do. Get her started with this deluxe base station. She'll amaze herself (and you!) as she creates and controls sound, lights, and motion. (Best for age 6+)
It's the #1 recommended sonic toothbrush brand WORLDWIDE - and that is quite a statement. It removes up to 10x more plaque than a manual toothbrush and delivers expert care for your teeth and gums. You'll still need to go to the dentist - if only to hear them exclaim about your dazzling teeth (and good oral care).
These multi-colored BOHO bags will carry all your stuff. There are 3 different sizes - think of them as toiletries, emergencies, and tote. Tasseled and fun - we believe you'll love them as much as we do.
WOW! Look at this bag! It's is sturdy and stylish and as much at home at the office or beach. And inside - take a peek and tell me what you see. The earrings were the first thing to catch our eye but there's also a darling necklace, nail care, eye care, makeup care, AND MORE. Really fun for summer.
Wakanda Forever - the story continues in our hearts. Grab these collectors items while you can.
Why is it called Intelligent Gesture Robot? I'm glad you asked that question.
Because when you move, it moves. It can move forward, backward, or turn left and right - simply through your gestures. Oh and the eyes light up bright blue when it moves. What's not to love? It's also programmable and comes equipped with collision detection sensors. (Your dog will thank you.) Great gift for children age 3-12. (Quite the range, we know, but this robot is a lot of fun.)
Reading is dreaming with open eyes. This is a great message and it comes on a big comfy UNICORN pillow. With a pocket large enough to hold a book, we've included one destined to be the new favorite. It's called UNICORN NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT - it's a brilliantly told story (plus there's a unicorn on every page!).

TWO OH - of the brightest, craziest, most popular colors OPI and Essie can imagine. You want this and it could go home with you tonight!
If you agree that it's all about the JOurney - then you should be sporting some Johnnie-O. A good place to start (if this is, in fact, your introduction) is with the Kerman Hat. Not your average baseball cap, no sir. The Kerman Hat comes in one color only - Malibu Red - and man oh man, you look good in red. Next up - the Toucan beach towel in twilight. Oversized and plush, we think it's just as essential as your sun screen and flip flops.
These ROBOTIS sets are colorful robotics kits that allow a child's creations to come to life (and if that doesn't keep you up tonight, nothing will). Haha, just kidding. Seriously, though, these amazing sets allow your child to build multiple robot figures - allowing creative minds to endlessly explore the possibilities. For ages 6+ - builds fine motor skills, problem-solving, concentration, and creative skills development.
Tucked in a scout bag (and you know these are great) - you'll find an amazing Estee Lauder collection.

Little confession here. As we were putting out the items for tonight's auction, we were tempted - for one teensy little moment - to put our money down on this item - before you even had the chance to see it. But that would have been very wrong, very wrong indeed, and our MHC heart wouldn't let us do it. But seriously, folks, this is the good stuff.
Quick disclaimer - We're not really supposed to call it "stuff," we know to use its proper name (product) - but the point remains - this stuff is gooo-oooo-ooood. Set includes

We know Wendy Fay and we love her. She paints from her heart - she tells her stories. This one is about Lexi, Lovi, Lucia, Lori, and their mom Lonnie - who is so proud of each of them because they would do anything to make her smile. If this reminds you of your family, hang it in your home.
Another gorgeous offering from Wendy Fay. She calls this "The Church Ladies" - they are at once formidable and God-fearing but also full of grace and love.
Queen Flora - just look at her crown. She is thankful, grateful, and blessed. This beautiful portrait by Wendy Fay will bring the joy of spring into your home (and we all could use a little bit of that!).
When you look at this portrait, you are drawn into the presence of Queen Iesha. Her strength is matched only by her wisdom. Colors swirl. You know that when she speaks, you need to listen.
A note about the artist - Wendy Fay always says, "Art is my love and my love is art." She paints her memories; portraits of (mostly) women who have been part of her life. Her portraits are colorful and strong - focusing on the spirit of each subject. Queen Iesha is a wonderful example of this: After a few moments in her presence, you walk away carrying her strength with you. Her strength fortifies you and lifts you up.
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. - Can you believe it's been 30 years??
