Melrose Park Downsizing Sale - 75% Off Almost Everything Sunday!

*** 75% off everything EXCEPT jewelry and items marked Final Price ***

This is a great opportunity for resellers! Lots of great items still remaining!

The charming owners of this historic farmhouse are still with us and at 88 years of age have decided to downsize their decades worth of antique furniture and home decor. The lady of the house was a highly successful Avon representative for 30 years and there are hundreds of Avon collectibles available for sale including perfume bottles, soaps, decanters, serveware and more. Many of the items are in their original boxes. She was also an avid garage saler and over the years purchased hundreds of items for resale.

There were hundreds of boxes in the basement and we have uncovered so many treasures. These boxes had been untouched for 30 years and we have found interesting items dated from 1885 to the 1970s.

Be sure not to miss this sale as it is a real antique and vintage extravaganza and promises to be a lot of fun!

Vintage Jewelry Extravaganza!

We travel with our caravan of vintage costume and sterling silver jewelry to all of our sales. The jewelry has come from many different estates. We acquire new pieces every day!

The homeowner is a real jewelry aficonado and has hundreds of pieces of fun vintage costume jewelry, including many Avon and rhinestone pieces. Between the homeowner's collection and our jewelry caravan, this will be the most jewelry we've ever offered, just in time for holiday shopping! Sorry there aren't photos of all the jewelry, I'm frantically pricing everything so it will all be available at the start of the sale. You won't be disappointed!

TONS of quality vintage costume jewelry at 50% off our already reasonable prices. Earrings, rings, brooches, bracelets and necklaces galore ranging in age from the turn of the century through the 1980s.

Also featured is higher-end signed and unsigned costume jewelry. Some of the designer names include Avon, Coro, Hobe, Kramer, Monet, Sarah Coventry, Trifari, Vendome and Weiss.

The highlight of the costume jewelry is a huge collection of colored rhinestone pieces from the Czech Republic. Dramatic necklaces, bracelets, earrings and brooches. These pieces are straight from the factory and some have been gold or silver-plated while others have unfinished metal backings.

In addition, an amazing collection of sterling silver estate jewelry including lots of rings, earrings, pins, pendants and necklaces. Styles include Mexican and Native American designs.

There will be artisan jewelry too - our Windy City Jewelry brand featuring vintage glass beads and crystals at 75% off original prices and hand wrought sterling silver jewelry with handpainted porcelain or natural stone accents made by artisans originally from Turkey at 25% off original prices.
