Greetings

Greetings From Out of the Past

A big thank you goes out to all of you who helped make the estate sale last weekend a success. We sold loads of smalls but not as much furniture or silver as we did during the estate sale we had in February. So, with that in mind, I've taken more pictures of the furniture available and if you are looking for a deal, come and get it.

I've also featured items in the shop. Note the license plates and the Grandfather and Grandmother figurines below. The grandparents are really piggy banks and have "Retirement Fund" written on the back. The license plates are from one of our dealers who specializes in them. He has over 500 in his personal collection plus numerous others for sale from all over the U.S. In fact, he and his wife are heading to California soon and will be on the search for more while on their trip.

Last but not least, I'm once again starting this posting off with a nature picture. The one below is of a day lily bud at our home. This particular lily was given to me by a dear friend who also happened to be a fellow educator and our oldest son's first grade teacher. (She retired after having him - coincidence? Sure hope so!). Anyway, she, along with her grandchildren, gave them to me when I retired and I have split them up several times since then. I am really looking forward to seeing the blooms! Stay tuned. I usually don't name my pictures but when I saw the bud, the word 'promise' stuck in my mind so this one is so named.

This is a stunning tablecloth and napkin set. It is Irish Linen with cotton lace and has never been used. There are 12 18" matching napkins.

The grandparents piggy banks. How cute are these!

And now for the furniture:

This cherry table was bought in the 1950's. It is a Hinkel Harris piece from Winchester, Va. The chairs, also solid cherry, were bought in the late 50's or early 60's right here in Griffin and are Traditional Willett. The Willett Furniture Company was based in Louisville, Ky.
