Accessories And Adornments Sale Is August 5

The Woods Hole Public Library will hold its Accessories and Adornments Sale on Saturday, August 5, from 10 AM to 2 PM.

In order to give all shoppers a chance to purchase fine jewelry treasures, there will be a limit on how many pieces of finer jewelry each shopper can buy. The sale will be spread throughout the lower level of the library and, weather permitting, will extend out into the library courtyard.

As a part of the event, the library is raffling off a Panis pin and earring set. The “pierced” silver work of Stavre and Gladys Panis has been a part of Falmouth for nearly a century. With Gladys as designer and Stavre as silversmith, the couple, who met at the Massachusetts School of Art, moved to Falmouth in 1932 and opened a shop on Queens Buyway, where they offered elegant garden and marine designs in silver, brass, gold and copper as well as enamel work. One of their silver pieces is included in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The pin and earring set in the library’s raffle features a delicate seahorse design, which was one of the Panis’s signature designs.

Raffle tickets are available for sale at the library for $2 each or three tickets for $5, and are on sale now. The drawing will be held at the end of the Accessories and Adornments Sale, on Saturday.
