Beanie People Present: Mid-Century Madness In Marietta, Labor Day Weekend!

Today's the final day for our Mid-Century Madness Marietta event. Today, unless the price tag is marked "Firm" all items will be reduced to 50% of the original price.

Labor Day weekend, September 4-6,  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. 

This is an authentic estate sale in a lovely home that was purchased new, in 1961. This house is an intact time capsule of mid-century furnishings that are original to the house, from the Danish furniture, artwork, lighting fixtures and the original pink double oven in the kitchen! The owners were two lucky guys who were together for 61 years, before making their respective transitions, five months apart. They traveled extensively, bought a lot of clothes and enjoyed living.

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. 
This house is stuffed with period furniture, Persian rugs, mirrors, good artwork and chandeliers; including dining room, kitchen,  living room, den, three bedrooms, basement and special treasures -  LOT'S of smalls! IF you like vintage Playboy magazines, there are literally hundreds of them, dating to the early 1960's

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.
