Yes, the only person who cares about grandmother’s collection of needlepoint-slogan pillows may be grandmother, but it is still fun to spot some old bit of her bedroom furniture or her favorite egg-beater at Hamptons prices at a summer antiques show.

The East Hampton Historical Society is offering up its annual bazaar this weekend at Mulford Farm, with a preview cocktail party tomorrow evening.

Featuring vintage decorative arts, the show will display home and garden objects such as rattan and bamboo furniture, lighting, textiles, architectural elements, hand-painted furniture, outdoor ornaments, and wrought-iron accessories. Old commercial items such as trade signs and objects related to industry will also be for sale.

The show was organized by Ferguson & D’Arruda Antiques of Providence, R.I. Admission is $10 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, with early admission at 9 a.m. Saturday for $20. Sunday’s hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tomorrow’s cocktail party preview will take place from 6 to 8:30, with music provided by Jane Hastay and Peter Martin Weiss and catering by Brent Newsom. Tickets are $150; $100 for those age 40 and under, and are available at the historical society’s website or at the gate.
