This Week Three Sales Worth Your Attention!

My mother was Jean Hunter.  She lived in the area since the mid-40′s.  She and my dad operated a sheep, cattle and prune ranch outside of Winters. Jean retired to El Macero where she discovered a love of travel.  Over the years she traveled to China, Europe, Egypt, the Middle East and Russia. Along the way she collected numerous artifacts and mementos, many of which are offered for sale.

Our prices will start fair, go half price at 3pm and then boxlot prices from 5 to 6pm with all items going in only one day. This is a tremendously historical estate sale offering with collections of antiques and collectibles from Europe, America; west coast and east coast as well. We’ll sell artwork signed and unsigned, pottery, sterling, glassware, needlework, pewter, Asian collectibles, early furniture and much more in just a blink of an eye. The parking is sparse but organized and we will have Miranda out from giving you fliers with maps to direct you to the home which is a bit hard to find in this beautiful country club setting. Be sure to watch your speed, no shouting and by all means if you must smoke, do so inside your vehicles. We don’t want to get the homeowners association in a tizzy and they are very sensitive to strangers. No signs will be allowed. We are delighted to offer you this estate with such a wide assortment of goods to choose from. Photos and videos are shown on the site of all this week’s sales.

This is a foreclosure hurry up and empty the house event and while we do not have time to really make the place look great…we have organized enough of the items to give you some notion of what we will be selling from children’s books and clothes to garage items and household in general. We will have a king sized rice bed, double drop leaf maple table, lots of fun collectibles and just great prices all day long with bigger discounts in the day. Of course everything not sold by 6pm will be free for the taking so make sure to note that fact and come with help to load your choices.

And last but not least!!! Our most exciting sale this year!!!
Friday, Saturday
1257 Q Street Sacramento 95814

Sale runs Friday 9am-6pm Saturday all items half price 9am-4pm and boxlot 3-4pm.  This is a TREMENDOUS collection of high-end designer art and furnishings and amazingly good taste throughout from dishware to clothes and electronics. The place is absolutely worth your time and effort to make the sale.
The couple has not passed but rather is ‘passing through’ and giving up the content of their home to travel around the country in a wonderful airstream trailer.
They have retired at a young age, sold their home and since they bought only the very very best of items through the years, we are now offering them up for sale to you. We are very excited to have this sale and welcome you into their home. Do bring plenty of cash as their items demand a higher price than most of the sales we present weekly…and for good reason.

Two ladies: Two magnificent collections to sell…in one week!
We invite you to not one, but rather TWO households to shop from these wonderful lady’s collections in Sun City Lincoln.
They will both run Friday May 11th from 9am until 6pm and Saturday 9am-4pm half price, and is located at 2999 Coopers Hawk Loop Lincoln Ca 95648. The first home’s content will consist of appliances, antiques, collectibles, furnishings, bedding, artwork and paintings, lots of Fenton glassware, jewelry (mostly vintage) military pins and watch band, scouting, silverplate, quadraplate, lots of cut and pressed glassware, holiday items and possibly a safe. We will not know for sure if the two china hutches in the photos will be included until the day of the sale but be sure to check in and see. We will continue this wonderful sale on Saturday all will be half price 9-4.
When you finish shopping at this home, go straight down the block to see the postings for our next sale the same day at 2931 Blue Heron Loop Lincoln Ca 95648 and lasting until 6pm. This second sale will also be open Friday 9-6 and Saturday half price 9am-4pm.
This home will be filled with all sorts of treasures from mink coat and beautiful bright colored clothes to furniture, designer everything, wrought iron, paintings, potted plants, Roseville pottery, Sascha Brastoff, Lladro, and signed everything from paperweights to figurines and costume jewelry.
The one commonality these sales have is that two children; a man and a woman, are in the position where both of their mothers have passed coincidentally in Sun City Lincoln very near one another. Both kids…need to sell the homes (one may rent) and need the homes emptied asap. This is where we enter the picture.
Our company has been contracted to empty the homes and sell as much as we can possibly sell in a short period of time. We have opted NOT to have a Tuesday sale but rather ‘bunch’ the sales together on Friday and Saturday to give the families a better chance of selling everything via more people being able to come  out and shop. We hope you will join us one of the days we are open for some great deals on everything from antiques to collectibles.
We want to thank all of you who stopped by Gallery Way to help us empty Frances Pendleton’s home for the heirs this past weekend. We had a great time regardless of the weather and hope you did too.
We also want to mention on a side note that the puppies are growing leaps and bounds (we have photos and video posted at the very very bottom of the website) and we are luckily meeting with folks to adopt them out in advance of them being really ready to go. This means that people are putting down their names on a sheet and picking puppies to be picked up after they are weaned and ready to go home around Father’s Day. We have three puppies left. Thanks for the interest and as you can see by the video…mama “Lady” is fitting right in here with our rescues. She makes herself right at home even sleeping on Sophie’s bed between meals.
Once more thanks for your patronage and also the read.

Ted Talk Of The Week
Watch this only if you have a strong stomach but do take a moment to boycott Tyson foods and other companies that are involved with this treatment of animals and birth to plate torture and cruelty…I feel vegan-ism coming on after this! It breaks my heart and I’m sure yours as well….

The sale will run Friday from 9am-6pm and Saturday all will be half price from 9am-4pm when some free things will go from the garage. Please take a look at the photos and videos above and below this writing and see if there isn’t something you just can’t live without.
Thanks to all of you who made it over to Anne Way and helped us to empty that home for the family. It will be all set to sell next week so be sure to phone Susan Herald if you are interested.
On a side note, I met a wonderful woman by name of Jeanette who was saddled with a teenage pregnancy she had no ability to handle (someone dropped off a very very pregnant black and white tiny cocker spaniel in her yard in Attwater) and the little girl gave birth to 9 pups (8 curly jet-black-haired puppies of who are alive and well and are looking for homes). Tomorrow will mark their one week birthday and I was in hopes if I posted some photos of the little tykes throughout the days to come some of you may have a need for a little puppy or two in your own homes. (On a side note: we will not be removing body parts of the dogs to make them look more appealing for you folks who like to have it look pure-bread and as a couple of people have already asked, I will say in advance…no adoptions will be allowed where the new owners will cut or maim the puppies in any way for your own visual pleasure…sorry but that is a DEAL breaker…plus they are adorable in tact)
Please do write and tell me if you are interested in coming to see them and we will set up apts. Jeanette has asked that I move them all away from her house as she must return to work and has no time to care for them. I told her we would be happy to add the family to our hoards (only temporarily) and that I had many many friends who will read the emails and put the word out that we have ‘babies’ to adopt for those looking. I know you won’t let me down!
I’ll try and post video and photos tomorrow or Monday.
Thanks once more for your patronage and also the read.

Ted talk of the week: Morality of Animals

4710 Anne Way, Carmichael
Friday 9am-6pm
Saturday all will go for half price 9am-3pm
Boxlot 3pm-4pm Free items from garage at 4pm
Long-time Sacramento/Carmichael residents Ralph and Louise Tippin met in San Francisco, CA, in the 1940′s while Ralph was serving in the US Navy during World War II. Louise was working for the military as a civilian employee. Following their marriage August 11, 1948, Ralph graduated dental school from UC San Francisco in 1951. Ralph opened his practice in Sacramento soon after.

By 1957, the dental business was thriving and the family had expanded to include three children – Chris in 1953, Laurie in 1955, and Scott in 1957. By 1962, it was time to move to a bigger house on the Sacramento/Carmichael border – a custom built home by local contractor John Schmidt located at 4710 Anne Way.

The Tippin family moved into their dream home in 1963. Ralph and Louise loved making their new house into a home. Many younger families were building and moving into the neighborhood and the children made lots of friends. Summers barbequing, swimming at Arden Hills or local homes, family fireworks in Jerilyn Court, riding bikes till it got dark, Arden Christian church functions, and bridge parties all contributed to creating a community atmosphere on Anne Way and the surrounding streets.

The three children all graduated from Rio Americano High School and moved on to college or into the Sacramento workforce. Though they all moved away to start their own lives and families, the Tippin home on Anne Way remained their home base. Ralph retired from dentistry in 1987 and focused on new hobbies – woodworking, welding, puttering in the garage, vegetable gardening and canning, and piano playing to name a few. Homemaker Louise continued her gardening, golf, bridge, and community work.

Ralph passed away February 2011 and Louise followed him just recently. After taking the memories with us from Anne Way, the children open the doors at Anne Way so that the enjoyment Ralph and Louise found in their belongings may bring use or joy to others.
lovingly penned by the Tippin children

The sale will consist of sterling silver and silver plate, glassware, mid-century modern, art, books, music, grand piano, textiles, pottery, glass, tools, mens items in garage and plenty of woodworking goodies, garden, furniture, bedding, decorator pieces and sculpture, and all sorts of things you may collect in 70 plus years of nesting on this earth.
The photos and video for this sale will be late coming but do make sure to check on the website before Thursday for updates on photos and a full line of descriptions through video of what we will be liquidating for the family. For now we will be linking to another great “Ted Talk” and for those of you who don’t know much about them, do take a moment to enjoy the knowledge and eye-opening stories they bring along with that 15 minute investment of your time.

Ted Talk Of The Week

We are excited to see you in such a nice neighborhood with great parking and easy access. We want to thank all of you who followed us down to Lodi to shop from that house full of fun items. We were able to empty the house and yard with your help and can now give a clean home back to the owners so that they may hand over keys to the new buyers this week.
Thanks again for your patronage and also the read.

One day only blowout of entire content
We invite you to join us for great bargains and even better markdowns throughout the day starting with fair prices at 9am, marked 1/2 price at noon, boxlot at 3pm and free items from garage at 4pm. Help us help them!

You can see there was a whole lot of love in this house and also in the marriage of the couple who has now been separated by death. John bent over backwards giving his wife every little thing that struck her fancy; carousel horses, bird figurines, artwork, fine furnishings, kitchen gadgets and gizmos, glassware, pottery and fine china. The had this house custom built when they were a bit younger and had more strength to manage it and enjoy it’s beauty.
The time came that his Mrs. got ill and needed more care, finally dying and leaving he, his son and daughter-n-law to fend for themselves and care for this giant house and all it contained. In the end….none of it mattered once his dear wife passed on, and their lifetime of memories ceased getting him by or carrying him through.
John has all opted to have us help him deal with his urgent need to empty the entire content of the house, yard and garage.
We hope you can make it down to join us for donuts, coffee and visit on Saturday only. We want to thank all of you who came by today to help us empty the home on Pedersen Way in Carmichael and to assist the family in moving on and closing escrow so the new family can take over where they left off.
Thanks once more for your patronage and also the read.

The Danger Of A Single Story

Below is a link to one of the “Ted Talks” I spoke of at this past estate sale to some of you friends. I was in hopes I could introduce this presentation- as one of the “first of many” you and your families might enjoy in the future. These talks have become a favorite ‘watch’ of mine and each one brings me closer to a feeling of enlightenment, enrichment and wonder that I have striven to connect with for years. Enjoy!
Being Right!  by Kathryn Schulz

“Gold Pan” Estate Sale
Tuesday April 17th 9am-6pm
1299 Gold Pan Drive Roseville 95661

Once upon a time there were three siblings. There was a boy, a girl and another boy. Between the three of these little children, they studied music, science, art and also the how to make their own ways out in the real world all throughout the 1970s.
The little one’s parents were so supportive and loving that they made sure to teach them how to bake a cookie, read a book, decorate a Christmas tree, set up a train track, sew clothes for dolls and space men, groom a dog and even to play a guitar or piano while giggling incessantly with a sibling.
The little girl grew up to be a beautiful successful woman in the big city. The big boy grew up to fall in love and think deeply about things of great importance. The little boy dreamed of spaceships and shuttles, designing telescopes and things that would make a difference to all mankind- until one day…he did just that.
These three children were very very different when they were small…and as they grew larger and matured, their differences magnified by leaps and bounds.
The one commonality shared by each child, was the happiness of their parents hearts…until the day they died. The parent’s both looked down from above on these three little children now grown men and woman…and they gifted them the wish of contentment in their own lives and those of their own offspring.

This Tuesday…for one day only…we invite you to the home of these wonderful children’s parents…a home full of wonder and memories, tell-tale signs of intrigue and history of their family tree. We invite you to shop from the items left behind from this second generation that had no place to put these treasures; art and artifacts, furniture and tools, holiday and toys, vintage clothes and sewing apparatus.
As per usual we will have donuts and hot coffee waiting for your visit, chairs and raffle forms for those who come early, boxes for your boxlot gatherings for those who come very late in the day.
Pricing will start fair and progress lower by the middle of the day going half price at noon, boxlot at 3pm and all gone by 6pm in the evening from the garage.
We’ll sell garden, yard, shed contents and garage, attic, kitchen, electronics, jewelry, paintings, piano, guitar, music, movies, clocks, and all sorts of collectibles.
We want to thank all of you who stopped by our sale in Loomis to help us empty it for the buyers of the property. We had a good time selling regardless of the cold and windy weather…and especially want to thank all of you over 100 friends who waited out in the freezing cold rain and hail to enter last week’s sale.
We appreciate your patience and patronage.
Thanks for the read.

Loomis By The Lake Estate Sale

3851 Lakeknoll Court Loomis Ca 95650
We are happy to invite you up for our next estate sale this Friday April13th from 9am-6pm and Saturday all will be half price from 9am-4pm when we may give some items for free out of the garage. We will have to play that by ear with the family’s druthers.

Shelly is one of our clients that are hard not to like. She makes eye contact whenever she stops by; she smiles and asks with genuine curiosity how you and your family have been. She is sincere, well meaning and kind. I like her a lot. It is no wonder I said ‘YES’ when she asked if we would help she and her sister’s empty her parent’s home overlooking Folsom Lake in the outskirts of Loomis. What a view…simply beautiful to behold.

The real twist here is that her father and wife collected the most vast and eclectic mix of treasures we have sold under one-roof in years. From car memorabilia to bronzes, china, silver, knives, arrowheads, porcelains, fishing, tools, vintage clothing hats and jewelry, toys, motion lamps, lanterns, primitives, hunting goods, clocks, camping items, fabric, sewing, hot wheels, cuff links and tie tacks, belt buckle collection, arrow heads by the mound, cameos, watches, pens, pins, political memorabilia, ephemera, wonderful fine furnishings, plants and pots and garden sculptures and even some yard art.

There are bookshelves full of books from subjects that range from gold mining, fishing, hunting and traveling to antiques, collectibles, American Indians and history. We have lamps and lanterns, Victoriana, mirrors with wood and brass framed with ornate to simple designs, Remington bronze western sculptures, cast iron kitchen items from cornbread to apple skiver pots and everything in between, camera equipment and lenses, signed Ginger Rogers photo in period frame, needlepoint, crochet, rugs and carpets, Toby mugs and dog figurines, decoys and horns, signed etchings and sad irons. There is too much to describe so be sure to view the photos to be updated Monday night.

We are in hopes you will stop by the http://www.flowerfarminn.com/nursery.html  Flower Farm garden and restaurant to have a healthy lunch or fresh cup of joe if you have time. They have a delightful little garden nursery, as well as a gift shop full of local art and homemade snacks and jewelry. The house will be for sale when we are through emptying it via Linda Grondona from Remax at 916-847-3144.

Shelly has been kind enough to pin some thoughts about her parents for you all to get a feel of who you will be shopping from…or at least the memory of the folks.

Besides restoring and showing his Studebaker and 33′ Ford and Volkswagen’s Shelly’s father also collected Indian artifacts, although most of the collection was donated to the Maidu Center in Roseville.  Dad was a hunter, fisherman, rock hound, treasure hunter and California history buff. He could never pass up an estate or garage sale! In fact he could be found at the annual Folsom Flea Market at 4AM in the morning with a flashlight so he wouldn’t miss finding a treasure before it was found by someone else! We spent our summers at Lake Clementine and he taught us to water ski, building his own cabin that we could use year round.

He worked for Davis Car Company for several years -we have posted a couple of photographs of him working on this rare 3 wheeled car. You can view it above and below this writing.

Dad worked at Aerojet as a project manager for over 30 years. One of his most notable accomplishments was to produce a TV series called “Adventures in Rocketry” as part of a children’s club he formed.     – The show won a public television award.

June was dad’s side kick. HE was so full of life and interested in EVERYTHING. She followed him as his sidekick and did everything he did as she was a bit of a tomboy and could do anything a guy could do. A beautiful woman; she always tried to dress to keep Dad interested. They made a beautiful couple.
She has a lot of wonderful memories of travels with dad on his many hunting, fishing, camping, rockhounding, and treasure hunting trips to Arizona, Mexico and Nevada to enter car shows. If he was in his Stude Truck, she was his passenger. They even carpooled to work (both worked at Aerojet) shopped for groceries and had haircuts at the local barber together. She missed him terrible when he died and may be why she filled her basement full of catalog items. We noticed the other day that she had covered every holiday. But after he died she didn’t buy Valentine merchandise.

“The Old Olive Factory Spring-Cleanout”

Possible hours Friday 9am-6pm
Half price hours Saturday 9am-3pm
Boxlot period for smalls 3pm-4pm Saturday

Flint is a funny guy whose thought process seems to mimic the pinball machines we may or may not be offering up for sale this Thursday. Like Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride he shoots from side to side, up and down and all over the map. There is seldom a thought going through his maze of a mind that does not reflect in his rambling speech. While it is difficult to follow along with his language if you are a calm and collected normal-thinking person…for someone with autistic tendencies like myself, it comes quite natural to understand what it is he wants and needs from us. We are having this sale then, to assist Flint in making space in his huge warehouse for a friend to move his own collectibles and antiques into to sell.

On Thursday we welcome you to this historical olive factory processing plant on Auburn Blvd (just stop where you see the mounds and mounds of corrugated galvanized steel) a true plant that was in use until 30 some odd years ago when they leased the building out for some antique shops and little co-ops.
Some years back Flint took over the lease and shop and as folks have retired, died off or left the business…he has inherited their relics, collections or just plain junk.
It seems that some of the items inside this building actually ‘became’ collectible and antique sitting under this very roof. The dust and cobwebs tell the story of their time in place and the outlines of the shapes of each piece on the shelf…faded from sunlight beaming down on the wood surrounding them proof of time at untouched.
This is just some of what we will sell as seen on the photos-below and video above.
We will be selling (at great discounts and good deals) his
mounds of goodies that he has no room for.
Included in these offerings will be furniture, pinball machines and vintage games, advertising, artwork, lps, electronics, farm implements and primitives, lighting both floor and table, clocks, antiques and collectibles. Flint may well add more treasures to fill the place up and get rid of at great deals before the actual date.
We thank all of you who helped us to empty the 22nd Avenue house last week in a crazy fast one-day sale for Jackie and Bryan so that they could sell the little house of Gen’s.
Thanks once more for your patronage and also the read.
