Pricing Away... Sortin'... and Stackin'! Oh My!! May 2 thru 5 Estate Sale... is Nearly Here!!!
Oh...my.
; )
Ran across a few... Amazing, Vintage Arrows, today.
Some are New/Old Stock... from the 1950's and 60's.
Incredible.
Literally...
Still...
'Straight' as Arrows Should Be!!
: )
The Cool Plane, was with them.
<3
We've been concentrating on PRICING, today.
Hahahahahaha!!
; )
Pal, Bill... had a Friend stop by, to check out the Kiln, and Ceramic Equipment.
When she pulled in, at the Sale... she texted Bill,
"Is The Car For Sale...Too???"
Bill's Friend... was interested in 'Mustang Sally'....
my
Wonderful... 'As Found'... old 'driver'.
: )
<3
We had to tell her the Only Car for Sale... is The Beautiful...
1950 Olds Rocket 88!!!
<3
{Sally's Heart Swelled, a little, I could tell.}
: )
The phone has been goin' off... All Day.
; )
Folks have Questions.
: )
Hope I answered them all.
: )
May have to pull an 'All-Nighter', tomorrow.
Haven't had to do that... since Bob's Sale, at The Mansion.. on Linden Drive.
Those 'All-Nighters', kinda put ya in a 'Bad Way', Opening Day... of a Huge Sale.
Hahahahaha!!
; )
That's Truly, when... 'The Mad Hatter' comes out.
: )
oh...dear.
; )
Stay Tuned!!

A Few More Images of The May 2 - 5 Estate Sale. {Scroll down through the blog, for more images, and 'Details'.}
Oh My.
; )
Friend, Lee... {Daughter in Law, of The Estate} keeps sayin'...
"Poor Bill!!"
: )
He's Buried... in The Workshop!!
: )
You can't 'See'... what I do.
: )
The Mountains... that are PILED, behind these images.
: )
Bill... is an Organizer.
This Sale...
is pushing him to The Limit!!!
: )
'Poor Bill'!!!
Indeed.
Hahahahaha!!
Checked in with Bill... in The Workshop, before I Bugged Out, tonight.
The above...
was Intriguing... to me.
It's only 4 inches square, or so...
but, it has a Spark Plug.
Hmmmmmmmm.
???
What Is It????
I... Dig It!!!
; )
It's Cool!!
<3
and...
something, I've never seen the Likes of, before.
; )
'Intriguing'.
; )
There are Many... Many, 'Intriguing' items, at This Sale.
oh...my.
; )
Cutco...
Wow.
Amazing Vintage Kitchenware.
These Knives... and Utensils, feel So Good in your hand.
Quality...
You Can 'Feel'.
; )
<3
Pal, Bill... keeps finding More, and More... in that Workshop!!
; )
<3
The Vintage Clamp Lamp...
Is Over The Moon!!
Love It!!
<3
We don't 'make'...
'Cool'...
anymore.
: (
<3
There's TON'S of the Neatest Vintage Ceramic Christmas Tree lights.
Oh My!!!
We're sorting through them, and bagging them up in dollar bags.
I've Never Seen some of these.
So Incredibly Cool!!
<3
Full House.
Yarn. New, Old Stock.
Mountains of It!!
; )
That little Draw Knife... Bill ran across today, touched my heart.
<3
It's one of the smallest I've ever seen.
Sharp... as a razor.
: )
When you hold it in your hands... ya just Know, it's helped create some Beautiful Pieces.
It's been well cared for... 'Treasured'... by many, I'd guess...
over the last 150 years.
<3
It's Ready to Keep On Workin'!!
: )
We... don't 'make' Tools, like 'That'... anymore.
We'll be working non-stop... through the next couple of days.
: )
{and... beyond}
Trying to pull nearly 70 years of Living, in One Home...
together, in a few short weeks,
is Challenging.
but...
It's a Good Challenge.
: )
<3
Stay Tuned!!
; )
A Few 'Details'... concerning The May 2 - 5 Estate Sale. {You can scroll down through the blog for images, or see 'Simply Iowa' on FB }
Will be updating this Evening.
Please note, this is a Tag Sale, not an Auction.
Everything will be priced, there's no 'bidding' involved.
; )
Cash and Cards are accepted.
There are no early sales.
Be prepared to Dig!!
There's Many Layers at this Sale.
; )
The Home is FULL, so will probably let 15 people inside, at the beginning of the Sale, then as people spread out, we'll let more, and more... in.
We hand out 'Entrance Order Numbers' at 8:30 a.m. on the 2nd.
{and on the 5th., which is 50% Off Day}
It's my opinion, if you want to be in the first group, or, inside... fairly early, to get there before 8:30.
Don't know when people will start lining up to get an Entrance Order Number, but...
I've been known to 'camp'... at an Estate Sale for 3 days, to be #1.
; )
{there was some AMAZING Antique Garden pieces, at that sale. 'Once in a Lifetime' kinda stuff. Got it all bought. That Sale... was Fun!! : ) Once others heard I was waiting... the first night, Many 'Joined' me, on the porch of that Big Victorian Home, the next two nights.
: )
The Race Was On!!
; )
The people who lived across the street from That Sale... many years ago... asked us what we were doin'. : )
Hahahahahaha!!
{They thought we were All Crazy!! {which... we kind of are. : ) }
They brought us cots, bedding, coffee... rolls, and all sorts of Food!!
<3 <3 <3
Don't foresee 'that' at this sale, but... people often get to these sales early, line up... to get an early entrance number, at 8:30.
Some Folks... don't care about getting there early, figure if it's meant to be... they'll get what they want.
If they miss it, no big deal.
Half Price Day... Folk's will line up again, first thing in the morning, to scoop up the Bargains.
; )
{better be careful... about waiting, tho.
Often... what people wait for... is long gone, by Half Price Day.
It's a Gamble. : )}
The 1950 Oldsmobile will not be discounted,
however... we will consider offers, should it not sell for the asking price.
; )
Better get Crackin'!!

THAT... Isn't Gonna Happen, at 'This' Sale.
; )
Hahahahaha!!!
It's probably gonna make a few... a little, Dizzy, and... feeling a bit,
Overwhelmed.
