In an earlier post there was information about an upcoming HUGE estate sale<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Check that post for prices on the items shown there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

If you are in the area, you will want to be there.\u00c2\u00a0 The sale date is Friday, June 9, 8:00 or 8:30 a.m.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll find out for sure sometime today (Wednesday).\u00c2\u00a0 The address is 812 W. Highland, DeLand, Florida.\u00c2\u00a0 Because the street is just one block long, this location can be hard to find so check your GPS, google maps or some other map source.\u00c2\u00a0 It is in the southwest corner of DeLand.\u00c2\u00a0 Tip:\u00c2\u00a0 The house directly across the street is a charming cottage with a yard full of flowers.\u00c2\u00a0 The front walk is lined with pots of red geraniums. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The estate sale house is a gray\/blue two story.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Two matching linen dresser scarves or table runners, each 15" x 42". Each end has the lace insertion.\u00c2 These will need soaking.\u00c2 \u00c2 $6 each.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

color edited to show detail<\/p><\/div>\n

I can’t tell you how excited I am about this sale.\u00c2\u00a0 For one thing, it was built the same year as my home, so the style of everything is likely the same as my home at that time.\u00c2\u00a0 Aside from the massive amount of textiles, which of course, I love, being in that house was going “Back to the Future” with Michael J. Fox in the professor’s time machine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

beautifully embroidered linen placemat--several similar ones for $3-$4 each<\/p><\/div>\n

As mentioned, there are incredible textiles, many damaged by sitting in the attic unused for decades and suitable only for cutting or study. Other items are in perfect condition.\u00c2\u00a0 There are luncheon sets and a huge variety of 20’s-40’s table linens, including a sweet breakfast tray set hand embroidered with “Good Morning!”\u00c2\u00a0 The maid, of course, brought your breakfast up to your bedroom on a tray.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe I should buy that set in case I win the lottery.\u00c2\u00a0 But since I have never bought a lottery ticket, that is unlikely.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

small hand embroidered lipstick towel<\/p><\/div>\n

There are chenille bedspreads, vintage silk slips, flower vases, rocking chairs (several), mahogany dining room set (table, chairs, buffet, china cabinet)\u00c2\u00a0 with enough leaves to seat 12, silver chest with silverplate service for 8 $175), and 20’s-30’s children’s books.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

1930 edition, perfect inside but the binding has been chewed up<\/p><\/div>\n

Also a Wurlitzer piano, all manner of kitchen items (many vintage), several sets of china, and just so much more.\u00c2\u00a0 It seems that almost everything in that house was made or purchased before 1950.<\/p>\n

Anything that you would have found in the 1926 home of a socially prominent small\u00c2\u00a0 town doctor, his wife and young daughter is there.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, I forgot to mention a sweet oval metal frame with a picture of daughter Anne age 2 or 3,\u00c2\u00a0 wearing a smocked dress ($10).<\/p>\n

There are two really gorgeous nursery framed color prints of babies, circa 1930.\u00c2\u00a0 They are $25 and $35 each.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m sorry I didn’t take a picture of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For anyone who wants to adopt an ancestor, this well-loved tot would be a wonderful addition to any family.\u00c2\u00a0 There are several of her baby books, all filled out, as well as a handwritten congratulatory letter to the parents from the doctor who delivered baby Ann.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plundering through the accumulation of two lifetimes was like a history lesson.\u00c2\u00a0 The man of\u00c2\u00a0 the house served in US Army during World War I,\u00c2\u00a0 starting in 1917.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyone with an interest in military history would be intrigued by his helmet ($25), mess kit and canteen, prices that I don’t recall.\u00c2\u00a0 There is a framed picture of his platoon or squad or whatever you call a group of 50 soldiers.\u00c2\u00a0 And just look at this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

It is in its original leather wallet folder.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"soldier's<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, a military doctor was paid $36 per month for his patriotic service.<\/p>\n

At home in DeLand during World War II, he kept careful track of his War Rations Book, which was carefully filed away in a desk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, I could go on and on.\u00c2\u00a0 Suffice it to say that if you are a fan of estate sales, you would love this one.<\/p>\n

I’d be happy to shop for you so let me know if you want something.\u00c2\u00a0 Meanwhile, have you been to any good sales lately?\u00c2\u00a0 I know Elizabeth Rose finds\u00c2\u00a0 them allllll the time.\u00c2\u00a0 Does anyone else get lucky?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
