Big Moon Little Stars in Silver Spring PART II

As advertised, Big Moon Little Stars will this weekend be hosting PHASE II of the "Sales by Loretta" estate sale! Since selling 95% of the offered contents in Phase I, we've been busy restaging the house with items newly unpacked from storage, the attic, closets and the basement, as well as items we had no space to stage in Phase I - like scads of JEWELRY and LAMPS!

As before, this sale will take place in the Woodmoor neighborhood of Silver Spring, at the home of a former estate liquidator. “Sales By Loretta” began conducting estate sales in the Greater Washington, DC-area more than 30 years ago and her house became a personal museum to her craft. So yes, there WILL be a Phase III - next weekend! Check back for more info and photos immediately after Phase II.

Meanwhile, peruse the list of offerings, scroll through the photos and add this sale to your weekend calendar. Trust me, you’ll have fun at this one! 

There is plenty of parking -- just please don’t park in the driveway.

THIS HOUSE HAS SMALL ROOMS AND IS PACKED SO WE’LL ONLY BE LETTING IN 15 AT A TIME. 

**ONLY FOUR PEOPLE AT A TIME WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE JEWELRY ROOM. **

YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED.

NO BAGS ALLOWED, BUT BOXES ARE OKAY.

***ADMISSION NUMBERS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE FRONT DOOR STARTING AT

5PM ON THURSDAY***.
