2/15

We do not sell anything in advance of the sale date. We do, however, understand that it is not possible for all of our customers to attend the sale personally. Our policy, and it is posted on our EstateSales.net advertising of the sale, states that our first customer is the one in the door at 9am EST. We are then happy to sell via telephone and credit card after 9:15 am EST.

I do not have the sale prepped and priced yet, these are just some of our preliminary photos. It is our plan by Tuesday of next week to have numbered photos of the vintage along with more complete descriptions of the pieces and any flaws. Anyone interested in shopping via telephone (and there are a number of you) can email me for an assigned staffer and telephone number for the morning of the sale. The staffer will work with you like a "personal shopper", getting those pieces (as available), answering any questions, and taking you credit card and shipping information.

Please be patient with us as we try to load more detailed photos and descriptions of the pieces. We will try to answer any email questions as time permits.

2/16 - More photos are up, and we will have more still to come. Please be patient with us, as we will try to post as much detail as possible. Please check back soon for further details! Thanks very much!!

2/19 We will have to do numbers this week due to the small space and delicate nature of the vintage we are selling. We will let in as many as possible at a time, but I'm thinking that will be 20 persons. You may email beginning at 8:00 a.m. EST on Thursday for a number. I will not assign numbers prior to that time. I will assign numbers based on the order of the emails received.

We will still honor the phone in time of 9:15 EST for those of you living a great distance away and unable to make the trip from the coasts. If you are a phone buyer, please email by 9:00 a.m. Thursday to be assigned a "personal shopper". Again, we will do our best to take callers in the order received.

Please check again Wednesday morning for updated photos and any further details. Some of you have requested information about hotels, etc. I will be getting back with you shortly!!

Thanks, everyone, for your patience as we work this sale. -Amy
