Step into a home filled with decades of collecting, creating, and Kansas-rooted charm. Empty The Nest Estate Sales is hosting an estate sale this Wednesday in Durham, just down the road from Hillsboro, and it’s one of those sales where every corner has a story waiting to be discovered.

If you love vintage kitchen treasures, you’ll feel right at home. Shelves are lined with classic Tupperware, Pyrex, CorningWare, and Lusterware, along with boxed small appliances, well-loved pots and pans, pitchers, and nostalgic stove burner covers. There’s also an incredible collection of vintage cookbooks, cookie jars, canning supplies, and even those charming step stools that feel straight out of grandma’s kitchen.

Collectors, bring your curiosity. You’ll find a wide assortment of vintage and antique china, including pieces from Homer Laughlin and Fenton, along with beautiful MCM glass, tins, advertising items, and memorabilia from small Kansas towns like Durham, Hillsboro, and Lehigh. There’s also a strong showing of John Deere and Coca-Cola collectibles, plus books celebrating Kansas history and heritage.

Furniture and home pieces are tucked throughout the house, including wood secretary/library bookcases, rocking chairs, benches, nightstands, bed frames, lamps, and more. There’s even a glider rocker ready for a new front porch.

One of the standout collections? Nearly 1,000 belt buckles. From Hesston and rodeo to cowboy, Native, fireman, and local Kansas pride pieces, it’s a treasure trove for collectors. Alongside that, you’ll find leather belts, leatherworking tools, and accessories.

For makers and crafters, this sale is a goldmine.
