This week's Estate Sale LA CRESCENTA Fri and Sat 10/23 10/24

This weekend you will find us up a windy road, off the 210 in La Crescenta at the end of Lowell (and I mean the very end!)  You can find some tools, a series of vintage cameras, a full set of Lenox China Kristy pattern, bavarian glass, vintage records (YAY, i love the record dealers, they rock- literally!) clothing, a vintage twin bed set, mid century table and chairs, small furniture, yoga and pilates accessories, some costume jewelry, and a cool shot glass collection, This sale will be 9-1 both Friday and Saturday, on the smaller side.  Come see us Friday morning and have a doughnut on us!

Why did the deer cross the road?

To get to the Estate Sale! Putting up signs in the wee hours before our sale I saw this gorgeous sunrise and family of deer. What a great start to a fantastic sale day.  Thanks Arcadia! Always a pleasure to work here. We had an amazing turnout. 

I shop at estate sales on my day off.

Driving to our Arcadia property to finish setting up for tomorrow's sale, I see a bunch of handmade Estate Sale signs. LOTS of signs. Arrows that keep leading me into the hills of Arcadia. (I was going that way anyway, but kept following just to see how close it would be to our sale.) Turns out, there is a lovely family holding a nice sale right next door to ours. Super nice folks, fair prices and I got this great bear.  So, come by tomorrow and see us at 1837 Chantry st in Arcadia, stop in at the neighbor's place, and make a morning of it.

This week's Estate Sale ARCADIA Sat 10/17

I love Arcadia, (and not just because it is so close to home!) the shoppers are friendly, it's freeway close to the 210/605. It's right by Taza my new favorite coffee place, (try the Arcadia for something icy and sweet) and it's a great place to hold a sale.  One day only, Saturday 8-2 near Grandview and Santa Anita.  Not stuffed and on the smaller side, but clean and organized with some really beautiful household/decorating/entertaining/vintage items.  

It's all about YOU!

I HAVE BEEN THINKING of adding a blog for a while now, and after talking with one of my customers this weekend I am even more inspired. (Thanks Mark!)  I will make my welcome message a tribute to some of our favorite buyers. (Don’t worry favorite clients, you will have your day in the sun!)

Some, but not all, of my favorite customers-

J-  J works REALLY hard at being an awesome Ebay seller, and he is. He is thoughtful in what he buys, takes the time to do his research before and after the buy, and always is willing to lend a hand to other customers.  I appreciate his killer work ethics, and love to see his smile when he walks in our sales. I once asked his secret of Ebay success and he said “hard work."

B-  B has an eye for all things rococo, goopy, over the top, hollywood regency, the wonder years.  He is always a gentleman in the bargaining process and has a very good eye.  Love doing business with folks who are polite, and know the art of bargaining without being rude or insulting.

S- S is another eBay seller who has a keen eye, thoughtfully considers each purchase and has a hankering for really cool vintage furniture, which she transforms into magical decorator pieces. Always fun to see what she will transform next.

S and D- S and D are two people that instantly light up the whole room the second they enter it.  Hugs, smiles and kind words are always on the menu with these two.  Both have a knack for picking out one or two quirky items that completely fit their individual personalities and I always love to see what they choose.

Here’s a giant thank you to all of the people that make our sales so much fun. It’s the reason we love coming to work!
