Prindle School Estate Sale!- HALF OFF DAY

If you've ever driven down Highway 14 through the gorge, you've definitely passed the location of this weekend's sale.

If you are like me - as you've passed it you've thought (or said) "what a cute little building!".

I'm talking about the Prindle School building! It was built in 1912 and is the sweetest little building between Vancouver and Stevenson. It's a long and lovely drive to the school (approx. 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver). I suggest you come early if you are going to other sales, or come anytime and make a day of it!

There are lots of things to see on the way, as well as a clear view of the river since we aren't obstructed by all the tree leaves!

BUSINESS FIRST:

No list on Sunday!  
HALF OFF EVERYTHING ALL DAY!

Please note parking situation. There is a large turnout JUST BEFORE the school. You can park there. There is also parking around the corner from the schoolhouse. Parking in driveway will be reserved for picking up large items. 

PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB - as there is someone living in the lower level of the school. 

What's inside?
Good question. I'll do my best to answer!

As you can see - it's not a huge building. The sale isn't chock full, but what we do have is pretty fantastic!! Lots of great antique items, as well as a room full of treasures for the tinkerer/engineer/mechanic.

MAIN SCHOOL ROOM: 

In the main room we have several old school desks (that's no surprise considering where we are!). Take a piece of history home. There are several framed art prints by Charles Russell, some taxidermy mounts (deer and pronghorn - and I can't forget "Doug" - he's our pronghorn who’s seen some better days. Give Doug a home. :) There's a cute little tramp art style table, several original paintings, old wooden kayak/canoe oar, a pair of carved oak chairs with tooled red leather seats, antique croquet mallets, lots of loose art/artsy photographs, antique child's chalkboard easel, cast iron antique cork press/crimper, USA standard testing sieves, antique fan, INCREDIBLE 1800's mercantile counter - open in the back and has an amazing patina - could be used in a shop - or even raised and used as a really unique kitchen island - the possibilities are really endless with this amazing piece!
