Save the Date - Estate Sale Soon!!

Estate Sale in Two Weeks!

Save the date, we are going to have another estate sale in the warehouse next door on May 8-10th. For our blog and store friends and customers, we will open at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday May 8th. We will advertise to the general public for May 9th and 10th. So, with that in mind, make sure you mark your calendar to come.

This estate features a huge variety of items, most of which hail from the mountains of Virginia. It has jewelry, pottery, glassware, furniture, art, books, linens, etc. etc.

Before showing you a few pictures from the sale, I want to share my latest flower shots. Griffin is the "Iris City" and with them blooming now, it just seems appropriate to feature irises. These little beauties are blooming at our house. I got them years and years ago from a friend and amazingly, they are still alive and blooming!

Now, for the Estate Sale!

There are several plates/chargers of different colors and designs.

Clawfoot tubs

Cookbooks

Glassware

Tool Box

Now, for what we have in the store. Hot off the press and I mean just released this month is the new Yeoman's 2009 edition of The Guide Book of United States Coins. In addition to the books, we have a large selection of coin collecting supplies.

A very pretty pink pottery bowl.

Have a great week. Enjoy the weather and please save the date, mark your calendar and plan to come to the estate sale. You don't want to miss it!

Mystery Item Revealed, Azaleas and an Upcoming Sale!

This week has been a blur!

Lots going on at the store and in real life (all good).

We are starting to get ready for a "Spring Cleaning" sale next week. We plan to have a store-wide sale with everything 20% off! The sale starts Thursday, April 17th and goes through Saturday, April 19th. The 20% off means there will be fantastic deals all over the store.

This blog features more shots of great items from our dealers and us. You can also find out about the Mystery Item and the winner - Jane Tuck.

Great job Jane.

As always, I've started the blog with a nature shot. If you live in Georgia, an azalea has to be featured in the spring.

They have been stunning this year.

Here is the finished product of the buffet that I showed you a few weeks ago. Charlie really did a good job on it.

We've picked up several more coins lately. This is a picture of the notebook that has our silver dollars. There are pages and pages of them. The pink dots are my marking system to let me know which coins are also featured online at our online store on Ruby Lane.
This beautiful ice cream bowl is carnival glass with the Peacock and Urn design.
A Mary or George Washington spread.

Coca Cola Items to go with the bottles we have.
Hope your week has been good and that you'll come see us soon.

The Corner Cupboard, 4th Picture of the Mystery Item and O.A.?

The blog post this week is several days late, sorry about that. We have a couple of nature shots, the last picture of the mystery item for this contest (good luck with your guess), plus quite a few pictures of items in the shop from our dealers and us. Hope you enjoy and find something you would love to have!

Driving down the street has been breath taking lately. The cherry trees have been in great form this year and not having one at home, I called a friend to find out if I could take a picture of their tree. Of course, he said yes so away I went to get a shot. Standing under the tree was wonderful, I felt like I was in another world and the bees were quite busy and completely ignored me.

When doing the dishes after dinner this evening, I looked out and lo and behold, there were five deer just grazing away. I don't know if O.A. was one of them but after taking pictures through the screen again, it does look like the second one from the left might have a mark on his side where O.A. had one. My imagination wants it to be him so maybe it is! I know it is hard to see but what do you think? (New folks to this blog should scroll down to the first posting about the deer so all of this will make sense.)

Do you remember this corner cupboard that Charlie bought at an auction last month? Well, scroll down to the next picture and see what he has done with it. The change is amazing and a vast improvement. It has the Country French look to me which I love.

Maple Hutch

For you Coke and/or soda bottle collectors, we have a good selection to choose from and this isn't all of them.

Newly painted old chest of drawers and an antique shaving mirror.

Here is another antique iron. This one is from Pottstown, Pa.

Bookends featuring Stone Mountain.

Beautiful drop leaf table.

Last but not least, who doesn't need a chamber pot?

As always, Charlie and I wish you well and hope that you'll stop by the store soon to see us soon.
