Terms

We accept cash, credit & debit cards as payment, with a 3% credit card fee - nothing's free, someone has to pay for those sky miles. We're a legitimate business, so we DO charge tax.
We have a few boxes available, but if you feel motivated, please bring boxes and packing material - you'll need them! Always bear in mind that we're an estate sale company, not Nieman's.
Please make an effort to bring your own muscle (gardner/house boy) to load heavy furniture.

Next weekend, we'll be ready to throw open the doors on another of our infamous estate sales. Infamous, you ask? Yes, we're the only estate sale company in town with a certified sense of humor and a state-of-the-art check-out system, designed by a GA Tech braniac, 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!

This house has a fair amount of furniture (some good antiques), has four bedrooms, an upstairs office, upstairs man cave, dining room, kitchen, den, breakfast room, a garage FULL of whatzits and doohickeys. Please feel free to check this listing frequently, as we will continually update and add pictures/descriptions as the sale morphs and unfolds.  We emptied the attic and a couple of their storage units, so the house is completely full  of everything you need and a few things you don't want.

The relatives have opened their house to us and to you, as our guests. The children have full houses and didn't take much with them and I think they left the best for us to play with.

The house will also be for sale, but not currently on the market, so come take a look before it's available to the general public.

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 someones home. We do not personally own any of the items available at a sale. 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. All we ask in return is that you have fun, find some goodies and tell others about our sales.

This woman was a real homemaker. She was a doll/dollhouse fanatic, gardener, needlepointed, seamstress, etc. Lighted china cabinet, by Jasper Cabinet, Co, Jasper, IN. The poor soul depicted in the Rembrandt style portrait, was great Aunt Hulga, who was a charwoman and mainly lived in the basement, hence her charming personality so gleefully depicted in oil. Sale Picture1940's mahogany sideboard, pair of very heavy brass lamps (I know they're good, just cannot find a maker's mark) large, English handpainted wooden tray, pair of decorative urns, Galle bowl and vase, collection of cut glass baskets, Asian porcelain fishbowl. Great Aunt Hulga was into fish... I don't know which mortuary the swag window treatments were stolen from, but feel free to purchase them.Vintage mahogany knife boxes were found and added to the luscious mix.UNBELIEVABLE Victorian doll house! This took the (recently deceased) owner $10K and 10 years to build - seriously, she kept every receipt. Somer of the items include: silver, by Pete Aquisto, Duncan Phyfe dining table by Roger Gutheil, Wildwood Studio, Steak family, Bennetts, Summers, Krupic, Paige Thornton Chippendale Chair, to name a few. She personally needlepointed all of the "Persian" rugs throughout the house. The house is completely wired with crystal chandeliers, crackling fireplace, etc. Aaaaaand the doors swing open on the Victorian wonder dollhouse.This is the side that Mr. DeMille always preferred. Note the turret, this is where Rapunzel flirted with that trashy horse trainer, by throwing herself at him through those windows. Ta da! Lights, ACTION! Even the fireplace logs flicker.Here's the casting couch room.Oops, it looks as though the mirror fell off the wall above the fireplace. Where's my handy glue gun when I need it...Ah, yes, the kitchen where Mrs. Patmore reigns supreme. Dang! The deer head fell off the wall too. Now more work to get this house in order before we open the doors Friday, April 22. Every rug you see in this house was hand-woven (needlepointed) by the owner. Tick tock, grandfather clock.It's an American Victorian home, no bidet! The horror!Keep calm and ring Carson for tea!This house is not for those who suffer from rheumatism or arthritis - the stairs are real killers!THIS is where all the action happens!

When you se this bed in person, you;ll se that I removed the lacy canopy, so that you can actually see the bed.Nicely re-made mahogany canopy bed. Originally, it had a sea of (bad) floral bedspread. I toned it down with a very neutral spread, BUT, see the floral thing rolled up next to the bed? YOU CAN HAVE IT as a gift with purchase. We're just that nice, here at A Southern Spirit estate sales. Tell your friends. Not your enemies.My eyes, my eyes! Another view of the victorian nightmare, floral-induced vomit-pattern bed linens. The mahogany desk is quite nice - it even has its own tuffet.
