My husband and I stopped at the museum in Moose Lake, MN today. Yes, they do sell Nemadji Pottery and the Nemadji Pottery book!! (proceeds go to support the museum.) While there a lump of red caught my eye. I have a flower garden, but have never found anything like this when planting! If you visit Moose Lake, I recommend a visit to our amazing museum.

Recently my elderly aunt told me who was looking for a new home for her small Nemadji collection. Each carries a memory of a special road trip stopping at thrift and antique stores in search of the pottery produced in Moose Lake, MN. The hunt is always the best part of collecting. My collection is a lot bigger. And as such–we also have lots of special memories.
I am no longer actively collecting myself. But, unlike my auntie I’m not ready to give up my collection. That said, when serious collectors amass large collections it’s important to have a plan when the inevitable downsizing happens. Without a plan in place the planning often falls to family left behind to sort, sell, donate or toss.
Outlets for Nemadji sales include Ebay, ETSY, estate auctions or garage sales. These are all good avenues to liquidate small collections in a hurry. Another option is to find serious collectors seeking to build their own collections. From time to time, I’m contacted by folks looking to do just that.
Let me know if you have a collection to sell and I’ll pass the appropriate information along.

In 2016 I promised a good friend that I would make a dress and dance at the next veterans pow-wow. He has since passed away. I have been working on these items for the past couple of months. I will dance in honor of my friend and all the veterans who served our country.

Payment would be via Paypal. If there is any interest please message me. I would be willing to post photos and prices of one or two pots to test the market.

Recently I stopped in to Lakeside Traders in Moose Lake, Minnesota. (Full disclosure, I sell the duplicates from my collection there.) I love to check out the items offered by other sellers. Normally I do not buy new items for my collection, but one piece caught my eye. It was an unmarked
Nemadji birdhouse and it was priced at $2.00. How could I say no to that?
This is why I was first drawn to Nemadji pottery. Over the years the prices have climbed, but you can still find a gem at bargain basement prices if you are willing to keep your eyes open and know what to look for.
Garage sale season is nearly here. Study up on what you collect and enjoy the hunt!
Greetings, I am wondering if there is any interest to purchase Nemadji Pottery via this blog. At present I am selling my duplicates at Lakeside Traders in Moose Lake, MN. They are selling well…but wanted to see if anyone outside our area would be interest. Please offer comments. Thank you.
