Futures Past ... The Best Estate Sale of the Week in Garland

Antique Lovers – Collectors – Diggers – even Mike Wolfe Wannabes are in for a treat starting Thursday.  Laurence of Futures Past is back from a romantic European vacation to do the most mind-blowing estate sale Fred and I’ve ever seen.  If you’re wondering how a house gets this full, consider years of being an antique dealer and deciding it’s time to “DOWNSIZE” leaving behind a yard covered in statuary and yard art ... an entire room of vintage Christmas ... a closet with shelves of handmade quilts ... an outbuilding covered in primitives ... a garage filled with glass, a collection of buffalos, a pig mailbox, a phone booth, pin ball machine and somethings I don’t have a clue what to call.  But WAIT, I’m not done.  More stuff inside the house – metal signs, antique wooden boxes, framed art, musical instruments, display size perfumes, antique/vintage wedding dresses, spinning wheels, the largest crock you’ll ever see, and antique pieces in every room.  Consider yourself lucky if you make it through the house and yard in 1 day.  BY THE WAY.  With such a huge display of smalls, PLEASE BRING PACKING MATERIAL.  You’re going to need it to wrap up loads of treasures that include ...
