Native American artistry and Old West history take center stage in this Classic Collectibles Auction, led by a majestic pair of 6-foot hand-carved Frank Gallagher Cigar Store Indians (Lots 3 and 3a), an early gesso-over-wood advertising figure (Lot 2a), and two historic 1844 London Edition George Catlin lithographs (Lot 2348). The collection features an extraordinary range of Plains weaponry, beadwork, and ceremonial art, including a Northern Plains bear effigy catlinite pipe bowl (Lot 2335), an 1880s tacked leather belt with knife and sheath (Lot 2314), and an 1820s cast iron trade tomahawk (Lot 2317).

Western outlaw lore comes alive through a spirited series of hand-carved folk art figures portraying legends like Jesse James (Lot 302) and Billy the Kid (Lot 309), displayed alongside authentic Visalia batwing chaps (Lot 2407) and an operational 1/2 scale .32 caliber Gatling gun (Lot 2253).
The journey continues into vintage advertising and vibrant Americana.

Move to New Zealand: Live Seminar with a Licensed NZ Immigration Adviser
Thinking about moving to New Zealand? For the first time ever, a licensed New Zealand immigration adviser is coming to the Midwest to answer your questions face-to-face.
I'm Tara Hulbert, founder of KiwiAmericans. In 2013 my husband and I moved our four kids from Wisconsin to New Zealand, and I've since helped hundreds of American families make the same move. On October 10, I'm bringing Paul — a licensed NZ immigration adviser — to Schaumburg so you can walk out knowing whether you qualify and what it would actually take, instead of spending months guessing online.
Schedule 
9:45 AM — Doors open 
10:00 AM — Move to New Zealand Seminar 
11:00 AM — Live Q&amp;A 
11:30 AM — VIP private chat with Paul 
12:00 PM — Depart
Who it's for: Anyone seriously curious about moving to New Zealand — families, professionals, teachers, nurses, tradespeople, retirees, and anyone who's been wondering "could we actually do this?"

Only 95 seats. Register at the link below.

KED at Home

<h2>Moody Fall Florals, with Fleur + Form</h2>
Take home a one-of-a-kind arrangement, composed by your own hands under the guidance of a floral artist whose client list includes Ferrari, Burberry, and Bvlgari.
Surrounded by KED's curated home décor, you'll craft and take home a high-end arrangement built for the season — think deep, moody stems, unexpected textures, and blooms that feel like October rather than an everyday bouquet.
Guided live by Promiti Prosun, founder of Fleur + Form, you'll learn the techniques behind elevated floral design: how texture, movement, and color come together into something that looks composed, not just assembled. Enjoy an intimate evening that opens with shopping, small bites, and conversation before the hands-on work begins — beauty and craft, in equal measure.
&nbsp;Together, we’ll cover: 
<ul><li>Selecting and preparing premium blooms</li><li>Color balance, form, and composition techniques</li><li>Designing with movement and negative space</li><li>Insider tips for long-lasting arrangements</li></ul>
📍 Location: KED at Home – Barrington, IL 📅 Date: Thursday, October 22 — arrive 5:30 p.m., hands-on workshop 6:00–8:00 p.m. 💰 Ticket: $175&nbsp; 🍂What's included: 
<ul><li>Guidance to create one elevated arrangement</li><li>All materials provided, including premium fresh blooms and tools</li><li>High-end vase</li><li>1.5-2 hours of guidance</li><li>A selection of small bites with alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages</li></ul>
Seats are limited — reserve your spot and bring moody fall florals home.
Attendees will receive 10% off their entire purchase of items in the KED at Home Boutique. Shop our fall edit and holiday gifts.
