Marilyn Holcomb
At Second Generation Antiques, Marilyn Holcomb brings a warm and personal touch to collecting and selling antiques. Partnering with Sally Thompson, Marilyn is known for her love of primitives—the simple yet beautiful pieces of wood, tin, and textiles that once filled everyday homes.
Part of a Continuing Story
Unlike many dealers, Marilyn incorporates antiques into her own home until it feels like the right time to share them with others. This means every item she brings to a show has already been enjoyed, appreciated, and lived with. Her philosophy is simple: antiques aren’t just objects, they’re part of a continuing story.
Marilyn’s Passion
Currently, Marilyn is especially passionate about handmade cookie cutters and doll quilts. Cookie cutters, often crafted by tinsmiths in whimsical shapes, tell stories of kitchens filled with family and tradition. Doll quilts, stitched with care from leftover scraps, showcase creativity, thrift, and love in their smallest form. Both reflect Marilyn’s deep appreciation for pieces made by hand and infused with history.
Her Booth
Visitors to her booth can expect to find:
-
Primitives in wood, tin, and textiles with a timeless, rustic charm.
-
Graniteware, like the striking blue set pictured here, which adds both history and a pop of color to any kitchen or collection.
-
Cloth dolls and textiles, filled with character and warmth, often carrying a sense of nostalgia and whimsy.
-
Carefully chosen antiques that Marilyn has lived with and thoughtfully selected for the show.
A Favorite for Collectors
Marilyn’s eye for detail and passion for primitives make her booth a favorite for collectors who value authenticity and charm. Whether you’re drawn to the soft patina of wood, the sturdiness of tinware, or the sweet artistry of doll quilts and cloth dolls, you’ll find something memorable in her collection.
Be sure to stop by Marilyn Holcomb’s display at the Lawrence Antique and Vintage Show. You’ll not only discover unique pieces, but also connect with a dealer who truly loves the antiques she shares.
