Beanie People Provide Thrills in Brookwood Hills!

Today, Sunday, unless the tag is marked "Firm", all items will be 50% off original price; Russian art is priced on an individual basis.
Thanks!

The weekend of September 18-20,  the "Beanie People" will open the doors to another of our infamous estate sales. Infamous, you ask?
Yes, we're the only estate sale company in Atlanta, where the employees wear propeller beanie hats, have a certified sense of humor and state-of-the-art check-out system (designed by a GA Tech brainiac) so that most of the items are barcoded. You won't have to stand in line forever, while an invoice is hand written by a fossil, like me! 
Sic transit gloria mundi. 

Just so you know, we will be limiting the number of customers in the house to 10 at a time and masks will be required to enter the home. We will provide hand sanitizer, as you enter the front door.

Please be considerate and provide ample distance between yourself and others. Anyone with respiratory illness, fever or symptoms of any kind must not enter. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

I recently received the signed contract to conduct this sale, so please feel free to check this listing frequently, as we will continually update and add pictures/descriptions as the sale morphs and unfolds. 
A pair of doctors have reached the age where it's time to sell the house they've lived in for 30 years and ready for the ease of condo living! This house is stuffed with good furniture, Persian rugs, mirrors, good artwork; including dining room, kitchen, living room, den, three bedrooms and special treasures -  LOT'S of smalls! 

We'll also be hosting Dmitriy Proshkin, owner of Proshkin Fine Art Gallery, in Chattanooga, TN, born in Ufa, Russia.                          Parallel to attending regular public school, he also took specialized art classes, which gave him an early art education and a genuine desire to pursue art further. He studied at Ufa's college of Art from 1988 till 1992 and after passing the entrance exam, began his five year study at Ufa's Art Institute.Within the walls of the Art Institute he became enthralled with art's prominent masters of landscape such as Claude Monet, Pissaro, Sisley, and Marke. His studies also included the great masters from the Russian school such as Korovin, Shiskin, Savrosov, Vassilev, Levitan, and others. Their works proved to have great influence on the young artist. The elevated tradition of Russian Masters became fundamental to him and in its own way, a sort of guide book through the labyrinth of his creative search. The results of his 12-year extensive study of painting and the art world helped to bring about a young artist with a boundless desire and determination to realize his creative potential and reveal in his paintings his disposition, feelings, and entire self. Dmitriy's work can be found in various private collections in Europe, Russia and the United States.

Do you enjoy estate sales? How about scrunging at yard/garage/thrift stores? Please realize that there is a huge difference between authentic estate sales and the other venues to get your fix. I personally love to dig through any type of sale (hence my Ph. D in shopping) to find a hidden treasure that just "speaks" to me.

Just a word to let you know that estate sales are a real business. Surprising, huh? Please realize that we are a contracted company, whose job is to sell the contents of someone's home. Occasionally we'll have some items included in our sales that are on consignment.
When tempted to ask "Can you do better on the price?" - sure, we can double it!  ;-)

Seriously, we do a lot of behind the scenes work to prepare a property for a sale. We price, clean, stage, move, hang, repeat, so that your shopping experience can be fun and rewarding. Usually, after staging a house for our estate sales, I need a cigarette, a shot of whiskey, a Valium, a brown paper bag, a chamomile tea, a General Foods International Coffee, a shot of vodka, a bong hit, a slap upside the head, a mani-pedi, a pint of ice cream, and a long walk on the beach in soft focus.
All we ask in return is that you have fun, find some goodies and tell others about our sales.   

We LOVE what we do and most of our customers. Please realize that we don't tolerate theft of any kind at our sales. If you want to steal from estate sales, please realize that you need to visit another sale, not ours.

We have zero tolerance for theft at our sales and will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law - no questions.
