Weekend Sale in Folsom

Tuesday only one-day sale above

Weekend Sale in Folsom

This Week’s Sales
103 Rigney Court Folsom Ca 95630
The sale will take place Friday 9am-6pm and Saturday will finish up half price from 9am-3pm then boxlot prices for an hour from 3pm-4pm when items will be free in the garage and or outside.
We are relieved to help Mary Ann get this show on the road and empty the home so that it can go on the market and make a new family very happy for years on end.
We will have the realtor’s contact information for you at the home.
This sale has the most beautiful, gigantic either antique mail box, file cabinet, law office shelf or whatever else you’d like to use it for.
Upon first glance it appears to have drawers but in viewing it closer you realize they are flaps that open out to show the box available. Each has a place for a label out in front. Use it as you would but come and see it for sure!
We’ll offer up the family security system that they paid an arm and a leg for years ago. We will be selling a keg holder, grape decorations and collection, pug collection, plenty of glass ware, oak and solid wood furniture, antique french parlor table, bedroom furniture, dining furniture, outside and patio furniture, office pieces, artwork, brand new leather health chair, and so much more than you can see when watching our video online.
We look forward to seeing you there and want to thank all of you who made it over to help us empty the house on Lindale Drive last weekend. It was a fun little sale and the house is spotless and ready to sell to the first family that falls in love with it and can afford to purchase their own home. That neighborhood is very affordable.
We will sell what is left of Sierra Woodside by apt. only. Currently we have remaining a three piece off-white wrought iron floral ice-cream or parlor set for the kitchen or patio, a five piece black and walnut modern bedroom set including queen bed, tall-boy, lower dresser with mirror and two night stands, a swivel metal-based modern chair for office or sitting area, upholstered burnt orange chair and ottoman, a recovered modern low couch with wood bottom and bright random stripes that you either love or hate, a wonderful tall and lanky teak modern bookshelf with gentle and delicate lines and an easy addition to any office or bedroom space, a cumbersome but still 70s entertainment center that will hold the weight of the world on it, a covered two-person chair framed in pvc pile, and a boring rocker type clean elderly persons neutral colored living room chair.

We also have plenty of ladies clothing, some small monkey pod and nick knack pieces, Christmas decorations, costume jewelry, books books books and a bit of art and stack of records as well as three stacking mid-century modern book racks of wood or painted pressed wood. We will be finishing the purge of this condo in a few days so do ask anyone seriously interested in anything they see on the photos (don’t make an appointment to come over if there is nothing of interest to you as it takes up our time to prep the next sales coming upon us) or video that floats your boat, email Jennie and she will make you an apt to go inside the gated community and buy some things in a relaxed atmosphere with no lines of people waiting to compete.

Saturday half price 9am-12noon then boxlot 12noon-4pm

This may have been the dearest compliment our company has been paid in years; the family from Lodi was sooo awstruck by our nearly 100 hours spent cleaning, staging, prepping and organizing their family home, the children have requested we give them a few weeks to go through and view the content and see what they missed since their dear mother passed, and have the sale another day. That’s right. We have canceled Lodi entirely for this weekend and I apologize profusely although it was not by choice and instead we offer you a magnificent little vintage home in South Sacramento to shop from; same hours…same days. Very similar in nature.

Mary Dorino met her late huband one day when he came to service her refuge. He was in fact, her local trash man turned love of her life. After getting to know her at the home she lived in Whiskey Hill area where the street car used to service in Sacramento near Fruitridge and 47th Avenue, Dorino asked Mary to write him in the service since he was soon going away with the military to be stationed elsewhere.  After many years of writing and getting to know one another, they fell in love and eventually Dorino came back and married Mary in his dress uniform…Raymond Ravaglia, his cousin was dressed in uniform as well when he stood beside them to be married.

Dorino’s parents hailed from Osti NW Italy and was born in Bedonia near Parmo. They family has a deep rooted connection to their Italian heritage and you can see that within this custom built home they had designed and constructed in 1962. The bones are still in excellent shape and as soon as we empty it, the kids will help their mom to sell it.

After marrying, Dorino and Mary were blessed with two girls and one son and now have expanded to 5 male grandchildren as well as 2 great grand kids also boys. Boys boys boys, Mary is starting to wonder if she will ever have a little girl to knit and buy pretty clothes for…

Recently Mary moved on over to James Monroe on Freeport to enjoy her free time, stress less about cooking and cleaning and play more games, read more books and go visit more friends that she has newly acquired. We are more than happy to help the family out by way of hosting this sale tomorrow and although it was a bit rushed, we know you will all stop by to help us dig through the garage and boxes and find out what awaits you.

Plan on there being Christmas, jewelry, vintage furniture, toys, kid’s books, Roseville, Hull, GIANT cuckoo clock, vintage linens, lots of tools, 50s-70s dishes and dishware, glassware, lps, stereo, entertainment center, wrought iron furniture, maple furniture, and so much more as well as two full bedroom suites and some ladies clothes.

We thank you all for understanding our delimma in Lodi and for being patient with this family and allowing them to go through their family heirlooms on their own time without being pushed to go through their childhood memories too quickly.

As a side note; we have been contracted to empty a small two bedroom home in Woodside that is only able to have one person at a time shop from the house. I will tell you that if you are interested in purchasing a complete queen sized mid-century bedroom set with nightstands, a lowboy and highboy as well as modern sofa, tall modern lamps, a modern bookshelf and entertainment center, plenty of modern dishes and some art as well as lots of books and costume jewelry and vintage clothes and fabric, contact me via email and set up a time this Saturday afternoon or Sunday to come and shop and buy lots one at a time. I can only host around a dozen folks with the time allotted to if I do not email you back straight away, understand I am busy with people who asked prior to your email if they could make an apt. Thanks again.

Huge “Digger” Estate Sale This Week
217 Acacia Street in Lodi California.
The sale will run Friday for the general public from 9am-6pm and will be half price Saturday from 9am-12noon when we will have boxlot prices for just $5 per box you fill the boxes. Then as usual we will have free things at 4pm in the garage. We will continue the sale regardless of the weather and hope you will join us.
Believe me when I say that you will absolutely LOVE this sale. You may not be able to all ‘fit’ inside the home to view it…but once you do get in, you will love what you find. Every little bit of it– from the late owner’s personality to her collection of everything she managed to keep, it is simply astonishing.
To say this estate sale is a digger would be a grand understatement. It is more a submersion than a dig really. A complete oasis of stuff throughout the house, garage and yard come the time to open most likely.
I like the idea of Audrey and what she stood for…Hope. I say the ‘idea’ because this woman passed away in December and is no longer with us. Getting what she wished for and also demanded; she was allowed to die at home in the peace and quiet of her own surroundings.
This was especially important to Audrey as she had been confined to a wheelchair since the early 1950s when five days after giving birth to her only son, she fell victim to polio and was paralyzed and unable to walk.This woman was made of Hope.
This misfortune did not stop Audrey from living a full and rewarding life; raising two bright and wonderful children, working as a bookkeeper at home and on the road…that’s right, she drove a hand controlled van all those years ago and wheeled herself around like there was not a worry in the world.
Audrey sewed and crafted, she baked and did artwork, she read and then read some more. This home is warm and loving and a true reflection of it’s owner.
Since her husband left soon after she fell victim to her affliction, she still has his tools and garage items as well as some old clothes and men’s things that you can dig through outside. Audrey’s mother left her own items from clothes, toys, dolls and fabric in trunks in the garage and throughout the house before she passed so you also have the pleasure of digging through those treasures.
There will be watches, bits of jewelry, perfumes, mirrors, paper dolls, dolls, vintage everything, books, china, crystal, bisque, rookwood, mission doll bed, wooden highchair, wagon, old Schwinn bike, pyrex, sterling brush set, hankies, scarves, buttons, toys, fisher price, puzzles, games, primitives and also some really great early turn of the century to 50s furniture. We will update the website later in the week so keep your eyes peeled for additional information and photos.
Please take a moment to view the photos and video on the website to help you see if there is something you just can’t live without that you should come down and shop for. From our house it is only 29 minutes so that is not a horribly long jaunt for you to come shop. We so appreciate everyone who came to help us empty the Yuba City home for Angela and Bob as it looks near new and is ready to rent now.
Next week we will host a Tuesday sale in South Sacramento for an Italian family off Lindale and our weekend sale will be taking place in Folsom.
We thank you for your patronage and also the read.

I’ll Show You Why
Tuesday Swathmore Drive 9am-2pm
Friday and Saturday 1610 Michael Way Yuba City
Check out our new videos on both our Tuesday “frantic finish” 5-hour mid-century modern marvel sale and also our Yuba City sale; Friday 9am-6pm and Saturday all will be half price 9am-12noon, boxlot 12 noon to 4pm then free items in the drive and garage at 4pm Saturday only.
By the time you take a moment to see the photos and videos
you will totally understand why we would drive half-way to the moon to help this family empty their mom’s home so that they can lease or rent it.
Add to the fact that we have wonderful vintage items to sell in both venues; that the ladies who called me are both daughters who needed assistance, are beautiful, charming and hug-gable, and you’ll see why I just could not say ‘NO’ to either of them or their families.
First let me invite you to a one-day only (really half a day 9am-2pm Tuesday February 7th) sale at Campus Commons located at the very very end of Swathmore Drive just off of Howe Avenue in Sacramento.
As you know from our last experience there…the homeowners association would prefer families not host public estate or garage sales in their community. Period. That said, we will have a short invitation only open-house event that will be sure to empty the house in a few hours of grand competition to see just who will land the “Raindrops Curtis Jere Sculpture” signed mid-century modern furniture, lighting, textiles and artwork as well as record collection and basic vintage everything from silver to glassware…then we will be done with that home and will be able to let the family close escrow which is happening very soon.
Due to the limits on the homeowners patience, we ask that you use your ‘indoor voices’ while waiting in line, that you wait inside your car after signing up until we get there to let you into the garage or courtyard to enjoy coffee and donuts and that you refrain from smoking in or around the area…rather enjoy your stogies prior to your arrival. Our lungs say thanks!
This is one of the “best” mid-century modern collections we have sold in the past year and rivals Oregon Drive on value so we ask that those who will be coming from the Bay Area or L.A. follow our line-rules and do not leave once you sign up or your names will be removed. Thanks in advance for understanding.
It is quite obvious from the Hollywood sleeper-couch daybedsto the chrome on every turn that the lady of the house had impeccable taste back in the late 60′s and early 70s when she chose all of these designer pieces. Add to that the fact that she kept each separate item in it’s original condition and you have the chance to upscale your own collections for great prices on each piece. Just a reminder that we do NOT give prices out before the sale so keep that in mind.
I may or may not be able to update the site with more photos of 1610 Michael Way in Yuba City so realize that the family will be adding far more jewelry than is shown and although I will try to show you….
As for that sale…let me draw you a mental picture of what we have in store for you…
Angela was born in the Orient to a Filipino Mom and Caucasian father and moved here when she was pre-teen. Her Mother supported her by running a hair salon and enjoyed her career so much that her daughter now follows in her footsteps.
Angela has great memories of her Mother and friends playing group-mahjong games in the home as well as hosting parties where many friends and family came to celebrate their heritage.
We will be selling off the collection her mother has saved for so many years; hundreds of vintage clothes and textiles, monkey pod everything, books, vinyl records, an entire hair salon worth of vintage equipment, tools, kitchenware, glass of all eras, artwork, tiki decor and furnishings and even a velvet naked lady that no house is complete without. I like Bob and Angela very much and know you would too so let’s do our best to leave the house in Yuba City empty and ready to rent!
Thanks so much to all who came and helped empty Karen’s house on Rose Mead last Tuesday and know that it is spotless and ready to sell thanks to you guys.

Thanks for your patronage and also the read.
