If we could pick someone to be our fairy godmother, we would pick Linda Heikens Davies. Hands down. No question. This woman is magic. Unbeknownst to Linda, she was an integral part of the creation of The Mothball Prophecies. Linda is the owner of Wildhare Estate Sales located in Pocatello, Idaho. Wildhare orchestrates some of the finest estate sales seen up and down the Snake River Valley. Learning the ropes well before the advent of Google and earning her first paychecks in antiques, Linda is old school. We talk about her late in life career change, her massive mixing bowl collection and a jar of fabric that will bring you to your knees with gratitude. Get your Kleenex ready. I'm not crying, you're crying. No really, I just have dust in my eye or something.

Brandy Evans-Beadle is the definition of cool and quirky. For evidence of that, look no further than her 110-year-old taxidermied mini horse or her wall of wenches (you read that correctly). You are bound to find something new to collect when you peruse the wares of her Etsy shop, Pocket Full of Heirlooms. Brandy has a knack for finding the well-loved items of a bygone era and bringing them back into our hearts. After the fall of the housing market, Brandy left her corporate job to find her passion. This is where her antiquing began in earnest while living in McKinney, Texas. We cover Brandy’s early life and Romani history and how her love for storytelling is a continuous theme woven seamlessly throughout her life. Her collection holds such treasures as vintage pigments, assorted doll parts, and putty pink everything. We promise you will want a full cup of coffee and a comfy spot to sit; this episode feels like a chat with your best friends.

  On today’s episode of The Mothball Prophecies, we talk to professional leather worker and literal queen bee of Nostalgia (with a capital N), Melissa Daw. Melissa is one half of the podcast “The Fret Files,” a collector of paint by number paintings, Syroco, mid-century kitsch, buttons, and sewing equipment. We cover an antique from her collection that is truly one of a kind: A doll made with human hair. We get to hear the story of Melissa's great grandmother and the selfless act that lead to the creation of the doll. They definitely don’t make things like they used to. Jill is NOT a fan of this one but Sam is fascinated at the thought of finally having a use for part of her macabre collection. In the Curio Check we dive into a brief history of Syroco and the lore of the Jackalope out west.
