Lynch Living Estate

September – Can you believe it!? I’m still trying to cope with 2008!

Here’s our latest Estate sale announcement, an estate sale that we’ve been hinting at for some time now. It’s loaded with antiques, collections, and memorabilia in addition to regular furnishings and everyday stuff. We will begin with a Friday/Saturday sale this weekend, and will limit it to antiques, collections, etc, excluding furniture. Next weekend, we’ll regroup with the Furniture and everyday things, as well as with remaining items from this weekend (if you don’t clean us out this weekend)  This really is a sizable volume of very nice stuff. More info is below.

 As always, we really appreciate your interest – it’s fun to see familiar faces at each sale..  There are some really interesting and neat things on the horizon.  Here is what’s coming up this weekend!…
