The 1st Annual Art, Antique and Jewelry Sale to benefit the New Canaan Historical Society will be held on March 3rd and 4th at the Historical Society.

Patricia Funt, who had a shop on Main Street in New Canaan until 2010, has a wide range of different and amusing antiques, jewelry and small objects. Imperial, run by two Swedish dealers, will offer mid-century pieces from small furniture to jewelry. Maureen Meyer of Silvermine has early antique jewelry and small items such as a boxed pair of 18th century shoe buckles.
