When she receives a bequest that allows her to purchase her own ramshackle summerhouse, she clicks on eBay and emerges two months later with a house fully furnished with other people’s ancestral treasures, from toile curtains to taxidermy, at a more-than-affordable price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilled with photos and drawings, \u003ci\u003eThe Heirloom House\u003c\/i\u003e invites readers to follow Lefevre’s eBay searches and imitate her heirloom-hunting strategies. Antique treasures are classified and eBay “search words” are suggested to assist the reader’s own treasure hunting. Anecdotes, both informative and entertaining, enliven descriptions of the antique objects acquired, and while the whole endeavor is relayed with humor, the underlying message is a serious one: with enough love, anyone can have an ancestral home—an heirloom house.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Skyhorse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180607914224,"sku":"9781510700772","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781510700772_p0.jpg?v=1763722570","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781510700772","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
