Happy 4th of July !

Estate Sales . . .

I am one who appreciates antiques, vintage and collectibles and the bliss that comes from a day at an Estate Auction. I have spent the last two Saturdays at estate sales followed by using my Sunday afternoons admiring my treasures and poring through information that will provide me their history. (Yes, I suppose this may be a bit overboard, but for me, it's part of the find.) Sometimes these sales are held as "tag" sales (where every item is tagged with a price to sell) or an Estate Auction where the auctioneer accepts bids on items and the items sell for the highest bid. Shopping estate sales can be a great way to score deals on collectibles and antiques. Perhaps the best place to discover that perfect treasure is the estate sale. Estate sales differ from a yard or garage sale in that an Estate Sale is typically held to sell every item in a home. Most Estate Sales are held as a result of a serious illness, death, downsizing or move to a Retirement or Assisted Living Center. Compact, pottery, bisque, head vases, linens and, well there are too many to list tonight. Cottage Heirlooms is in the early stages of opening and look forward to your visit soon!
