**Don't worry, everything is still for sale. I do not sell ANYTHING early! I removed all of the initial "teaser" pictures, and I am replacing them with new pictures, as we set up each area!!  This sale will probably have 200-300 more pics added by the time the sale gets here, so stay tuned!!

Wiregrass Estate Sales is honored to have been chosen to liquidate a SUPER FABULOUS, HOLLYWOOD REGENCY/MIDCENTURY MODERN, Collectors, plus QVC/HSN addict estate in Enterprise.  The home owner is a lively 90something,California transplant who just moved to assisted living(she moved here about 5 years ago and built this house to accomodate her collection).  She had to leave behind a MASSIVE, JAW-DROPPING amount of WONDERFUL things!!  I walked in the front door and was BLOWN AWAY, this is NOT the type of stuff that you typically find around here!!  It takes ALOT to impress me, but I was nearly speechless!  Gold gilt, Italian tole, blown art glass, flokati rugs, massive chandeliers, curvy sofas, lucite sculptures, 1000+ pieces of jewelry, nudes, over-the-top hats, and much much more!  The house is truly busting at the seams!!  I promise, this is the stuff that you have only seen online and in magazines, but here in Enterprise!  Dealers, come on to the sale and stock up, you know this stuff is getting nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find!!

UPDATE 09.14.12: Oh my!!  We worked on this estate for about 12 hours yesterday, and we havent even scratched the surface yet!  I have never seen so much stuff in one home.  If you came to my MASSIVE sale in Hentown, Ga a few months ago, imagine that quantity TIMES 2!!  We have set up the entry and den with Hollywood Regency/midCentury type items.  There are some PHENOMENAL pieces!  We did not realize how much kitchen items that were here until we started digging in cabinets, closets and the garage.  Probably 80-90% of the kitchen gadgets are BRAND NEW, never used from QVC and HSN.  We will add pictures as we set up each room, so check back often.  Also, I will add to the "partial listing" as well, each time that I add photos. 

UPDATE 09.21.12: We have worked for several days setting up this wonderful sale.  I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!  I have never, ever, ever seen such.  Everything is amazing, super clean, rare, fun, etc.  And the quantity is amazing.  Easily 100+ kitchen small appliances, 99.9% brand new, never used, high end name brands, etc.  I spent over 10 hours just SORTING jewelry, not even researching or pricing.  Easily 2000+ pieces, maybe more, we still have several boxes and tubs to go through.  The jewelry is amazing, 10k, 14K, 18k, sterling silver, HIGH END costume, vintage costume, and more!  Adding about 140 pics today.  Will update again ASAP!!

UPDATE 09.25.12: OK, a couple of more days work, and a TON more awesome stuff!  We have another several hundred pieces of jewelry (both real and costume).  I have added several group photos of it.  But, what is amazing is the vintage clothing and accessories.  There is a whole closet with just FURS, both real and faux!  There are at least 50 awesome hats (including art deco up to current day, some of the best ones that I have ever seen, including a super RARE 1950s Eastern Airlines blue leather stewardess beret!!).  The ladies gloves are to die for.  Every color, material and length, all vintage.  We have set up the dining room and and two of the spare bedrooms.  Look at all of the pictures!  Still have more to go!  Stay tuned!

UPDATE 09.29.12: we have put in several more days working on this estate.  The garage alone took us two days, but it was worth it!  We found some wonderful stuff.  Adding more pics right now!

UPDATE 10.01.12: worked all day today pricing jewelry, and I still have ALOT more to go!  I removed the previous jewelry pictures and replaced them with new, more detailed photos.  Jewelry photos are now near the very bottom.  If you are a dealer, this is MUST ATTEND sale.  There is enough jewelry to supply all of you for a year, and it is priced to sell!!  There are HUNDREDS of pieces for $3 each! Plus the other priced jewelry is just plain awesome!  We found a great vintage fur coat today, looks like some type of jungle cat.  Also found two 1940s velveteen coats, two sets of raw silk custom drapes (one in lilac and one in gold), plus other great vintage stuff. 

UPDATE 10.07.12: I have decided to add a sign-up sheet and give out numbers for this sale.  I normally do not do this, but due to the number of people I anticipate coming, it will be a good thing.  I will put up the sign-up sheet on the front porch of the house on Thursday evening, October 11, at 10 pm (Central Time Zone).  I am sure that there will be people in line to sign-up at 10 pm.  Sign YOUR NAME and YOUR NAME ONLY!!!  Do not sign for someone who is not physically at the home.  No exceptions.  This is the only fair way to do it.  After signing the sheet, you are free to leave.  Please be back by 7:30 am (Central Time Zone) on Friday morning, October 12, to receive your sticker with your number on it.  If you are not there when I call out your name to get your number sticker, I will skip you.  You will have to go the end of the line.  No Exceptions, I repeat NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!.  When we open the doors at 8am, please have your number sticker on your shirt, above your heart.  I will call out the numbers in order for entry.  Due to the amount of items in the home, and the fragility of the items, we are planning on limiting the number of people in the home.  I will probably let in the first 25 or so, and then let in additional people as they disperse.
