Beanie People Point the Way on Green Pointe Way, in Marietta!

This weekend, the "Beanie People" will 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 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. Who doesn't like a little April mayhem in Marietta?!?

This is an authentic estate sale in a well-loved home. One of Atlanta's premier divas, Miss Rhette grew up in the Peachtree Battle area, she lived here 20 years and had several family treasures funneled her direction. Don't fret, she's doing well, just moved to a much more manageable (and elegant!) senior living facility. 

This is a non-smoking home and one of the prettiest sales I've had in a while, that has been lovingly taken care of, SO that means everything in this house is very clean and tidy, no baby goo on the upholstery, no furniture used as cat scratching posts and no dog skid marks on the rugs.                                 

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. 
This house is stuffed with beautiful furniture, some excellent antiques, Persian rugs, mirrors, china, sterling (flatware & holloware) artwork and chandeliers, including dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, living room, bonus room, patio, three bedrooms, garage and special treasures - LOT'S of smalls!

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.
