Description & Details

Well first of all it's just fun to say Grand Teton, so that right there is gonna make you say, "Hey we should go to that sale on Grand Teton."  But that's not all we've got going for us.  This house has it all.  A bed, a table, a couch, dishes, like 3 secretary desks, I saw a bowl or two the other day.  Tons of original artwork done by the homeowner that's actually good and not like "just being polite" good.  Costume jewelry for days, literally we have spent days sorting, untangling, displaying this stuff.  There is so much of it.  Oh, also on Sunday we found a whole little fenced in area behind the house that we legit did not even know was there, so that was fun for us.  Did score us an old bike and some metal shelving, plus a machete.  What the heck do you even use a machete for? (I was also told it was a Cane Knife and not a machete but machete is more fun to say).  Check out the pictures for more items, also be on the look out for the secret word and if you tell it to the cashier at checkout she'll give you 10% off!

Nothing makes us think about Christmas decorations like...Groundhogs day. But here we are anyway. The tree was still up when we got into the house so we kept it that way. Tree and Nativity scene both light up.Even more Christmas. But actually shopping for Christmas in February will be fun, cause you'll buy it, pack it away for next year and forget about it. Then when you drag it out from the attic or garage it'll be a surprise.Oh hey, there's a leprechaun and some valentines stuff so that's topical. Also the most massive Mardi Gras beads I've ever seen. Since Mardi Gras will most likely be celebrated in quarantine this year, please throw these responsibly from your couch float, last thing you want to do is break the TV or something. Don't they say that we should carry the spirit of Christmas in our hearts all year round? What better way to do that then by putting Christmas decorations up all year roundLook, my 10 year old niece thought these were very pretty so that says something right?Pink glass is making a comeback. Well I'm trying to make it make a comeback any way because I love pink glass and I think other people should to. Did I spend over an hour trying to figure out the name of this platinum rim Noritake pattern for y'all? Yes, yes I did? In the seventy bajillion (real number) white and platinum Noritake patterns did I find that name? No I did not. Does that make this set any less gorgeous? Well that's really up to you now isn't it?Your run down old furniture giving you the blues? We've got a practically brand new love seat and reclining lift chair. And check out the rug - monochrome tonal color schemes are all the rage these days.Huh, I don't think that coffee pot has a carafe. Hopefully there's someone out there thinking about how their carafe has no coffee pot and we've just made someone's day.Yes that is a foodsaver, no I don't know if it works, no I don't think we have any bags that go with it, no I don't know what the price is. Who wants to bet I still get messages asking for the answer to one of the above questions?I don't think the Fire King Blue Cornflower gets enough love. It's a great pattern, also a really nice size casserole dish. I mean don't get me wrong, I love me some Pyrex, but honestly what even was the point of those divided dishes? You can't do anything with those, now this baby - you could probably roast a small chicken in there. (don't quote me on that, I have no clue what size that is, it just looks like it would fit a chicken, it has not been tested with a real or fake chicken)This is a very weird angle that I assume I decided looked "artsy" or something, but anyway, those dishes with the lids are really useful, but I think the star of this show is that plastic cake plate with dome, because if you're anything like me, a glass cake plate is not safe in your house so this looks stylish and safe!We got some real nice color blocking with the displays here, kudo's to our workers who put that together. But also do you see what I see? If you said Pyrex...well, you would be technically correct but not psychic - cause I was thinking about the fondue pot up there. Melted cheese makes everything better.Those tiny Pyrex pixie dishes are perfect for fancy dinner parties where everyone can have their own individual dish of mac n cheese (is that what people serve at dinner parties? I don't know, I've never had one)And here we have the yellow section of todays kitchen tour. Yellow is one of the Pantone colors of the year this year for those of you that follow that sort of thing. For those of you who unlike me are not huge dorks and didn't even know there was such a thing as color of the year, I salute you.Ok, I rarely actually think this when I see a piece of furniture but I would actually not do a thing to this table. I love the colors and the style - in fact I literally just painted a table and chair set to look like this, so you know that's high praise about a piece of furniture from me. This piece, full disclosure does need some work, but it's got good bones (which I always found a super weird thing to say about furniture but anyway) Also you should def check out the tag I wrote for those red wine glasses. It's peak dad pun humor. I'm quite proud.This would be Secretary #1 on our tour of "Secretaries through the ages" in this house. Circa 1980's ish. Tons of storage, good writing surface. Great bones, I could do a ton with this but if I buy another secretary I'm gonna get in so much trouble (seriously you think the amount of secretaries in this house is ridiculous, you should see my storage unit)These are super cool. Flatware set from what is now Thailand, these were super popular in the late 60's and 70's. A ton of them were brought home to America by GI's during Vietnam. The flatware itself is bronze with an image of Buddah on the end of the handle, and the handles is made of rosewood - which is actually banned for international trade because it's an endangered species. The more you know.Ah, futons the college kids solution to a bed and a couch all in one! Does your kid want more room for activities during the day but want to sprawl out like DaVinci's Vitruvian man when they sleep? Then a futon perfect for you. Are you over the age of 29 and say "oh my back!" more than once a day? Then a futon is not perfect for you.Here's some of that art I was alluding to in the sale description. I'd love to be able to talk about brush strokes and plays on color and light but my artistic knowledge pretty much extends to "look fishies!"Office-y stuff. That big plastic coke bottle thing is a bank - not a lamp. It looks like a lamp because there is a lamp behind it in the picture so it looks like it's all lit up, but it's not. I just don't want anyone to think "wow what a cool lamp" then come to the sale and be like "ah man it's just a bank". Oh you know what? You should make it into a lamp.Ok, story time. My mother (and full discloser fellow Sweet P's Estates founder) is in love with all these little solar bobble head dudes. Her old car used to have an entire circus band that spanned the length of her windshield. They would dance back and forth in the sun (sometimes in unison other times in maddening disunity) everyday and swear to god, never failed to make me smile. So yes they might look cheesy but and silly but you deserve to smile damnit.Fun fact, none of the members of Herman's Hermits is now, nor have they ever been named Herman. On the flip side one of the members of the Animals is in fact an actual animal and it's not the one you think. Why are barstools never in the number you need them to be in? If you need three or one they're only sold in pairs, if you need four, there is always one missing and you'll never find a fourth to math it. What is happening to all the missing single barstools? I get that the picture of the angel is meant to be that the angel is protecting the child who seems to be playing on the banks of a lake, but it totally looks like the angel is just about to push the kid in the water. Also whose letting their child just play on the banks of a lake?Please tell me that I'm not the only one who has intense sense memories of Hi Ho Cherrio from when I was a kid? I have no idea why the game with tiny apples is lodged so firmly in my memory but it is. Super weird.Look, I'm gonna come right out and say it. I don't like fancy new washer and dryers. I mean sure they look all sleek and modern, but the functionality just isn't there for me. Now these babies - top loading washing machine, which is just better for everyone involved who doesn't want wet clothes falling to the floor when you open the door. And a dryer with a pull down drawer, not only saves your clean clothes from tumbling to floor but it also serves as an extra surface area to stack clothes as you pull them out fold them, because if you're anything like me the top of your dryer is full of random piles of stuffAgain, the fridge is for sale, but please don't take it from us until Sunday. My iced coffee habit depends on that fridge.Nice microwave. I really don't have anything else to say about it. It's a microwave. It works. What do you want a three part history channel deep dive into the innovation that led to frozen tv dinners and eventually peaked at Pizza Rolls? Sorry I dont' have the time for that today. Also pizza rolls are so much better in the oven but who has the time?????So remember the paintings? Yeah this guy was an artist, and he had tons of books on how to be an artist. Which is very helpful I assume for people who want to be artists. So you know. Y'ALL, GLADLOCK HAS BEEN LYING TO US FOR YEARS. WE CAN'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS! Also the secret word is "gadabout", if you want to know what that is, you gotta remember it and tell it to the lady at the registerThis is one of my favorite Pyrex patterns, cause from the front it's a very unassuming pale peach-ish color but then you see the lid and bam, it's a frenetic trippy flower scene straight out of adult coloring books and someone was like "no one go anywhere by coloring inside the lines" and that's what started the Hippie Movement. Also it's called Floral Bubbles and that's just fun to say.Fella's are you tired of those floral carved, painted white, super girly beds your wives made you buy because they were "pretty" and "stylish". Well this one's for you. Put your foot down and ask - no - TELL her that you're buying this manly bed made with the skin of dead animals* and it'll look great in your new apartment. Plus tons of room for you to sleep sprawled out on all alone. *No animals were harmed in the making of this bed, that's fake leather.Wow, here's a chair that matches the love seat from like the first picture, probably should have put those pictures closer together, cause by now you've forgotten what the love seat looks like and you're gonna have to go all the way back to the beginning to look at it again and then you'll forget where you were in the pictures and just have to start all over again. Sorry about that.Fair warning, I'm not sure any of us has actually opened this wardrobe, so it could have tons of storage, or it could lead to Narnia. Either way win/win.This is a dresser. It has 9 drawers. It also has a mirror. There's seriously not much else to say about it.Who was the guy who was like, you know what we should do? We should scratch music into plastic frisbees and then build a machine that will spin it really fast so when you run a special pointy thing along the surface it makes noise that duplicates the music! Who was that guy? Just looked it up. It was Thomas Edison. Of course. Though in true Thomas Edison form he basically stole the idea by a guy named Leon Scott so.An innovation that Thomas Edison had nothing to do with! The good old typewriter. Though you can bet if Tesla had tried his hand a making a better typewriter Edison would have stolen that too and made it worse. There are many uses for old singer sewing machine bases that aren't tables. I mean I can't think of any right this second, but I'm sure there are. Seriously. And here we see Secretary #2 in our "Secretaries through the ages" tour. This one is a modern reproduction of a Campaign style desk by way of the British Colonies. So that's a lot going on there. But all of it's good so that's something.Ah more pink glass, I love this set. It's made by Jeanette called "Holiday Buttons and Bows" which I don't get but more power to it. I just love the idea of a pitcher and cup set. Sitting outside on the porch in rocking chairs next to a tray with a sweating pitcher of sweet tea. This chair is gorgeous, it needs a bit of work but nothing you can't handle. Actually, you know what, come to think of it you probably can't handle this. I mean it needs a professional. You should definitely not buy this, don't worry about it, I'll take it and give it a good home. You're welcome Hey, people are always talking about how they like these old china cabinets but they're gonna have to paint it, well this ones been done for you!This couch has it all. A recliner on one end a chaise lounge on the other and a seat in the middle for normal people who like to just sit on couches.I know what you're thinking, "Wow the glass on that thing is so clean I can see straight through it like it's not even there!" well you're half right, it's not there. We were unable to find the glass, but the bones of this piece (again with the bones) were too good to get rid of. We did price the glass out but unfortunately our petty cash box has like $2.75 in it right now cause the Ice Cream man came by the other day, but we've priced it pretty reasonable.Remember all that jewelry for days I told you about? here's just some of the earrings and bracelets.More bracelets, wow I didn't realize we had this many braceletsWe color blocked the jewelry too I just noticed. These ladies sure are good at this staging thing, they should probably get paid more. Or at all.Bright blue makes me think of summer and beaches and sea airAnd here's our final Secretary in the "Secretaries through the ages" tour, this one is really old, from the early 1900's. I stupidly didn't take a picture of the front, but it's got a really cute hand painted decal. But this green is super original to the piece too, so when people complain about us painting all this furniture, remember we weren't the first people who started that trend.Y'all we've got a genuine product of Game Stop! of the famed Game Stop stock roller coaster we've all been on this past week. You know when we've all been pretending we know anything about the stock market, and short selling and hedge funds (which has nothing to do with landscaping or hedge hogs by the way) Oh yeah and I have no idea if this works.THIS TABLE DOES NOT STAND ON IT'S OWN. IT IS MADE TO HANG FROM THE CEILING. There, now that I've yelled at you and that's out the way, we didn't have this hanging up the day I took the pictures so I had mom hold it up for the picture but she didn't want to be in the picture so then I photoshopped her out and everyone was like, "People are gonna think it can stand on it's own" so then I tried to photoshop Chris Hemsworth in there holding it up like it was Mjolnir or something but that didn't work out (I could find the right picture with his arm up in just the right way) so I decided to put a disclaimer on it. Oh also we have the glass and this table is cool as crap and you should totally buy it.
