OVER

There are no photos.

It would have been impossible for me

to stop for even one.

We hit the ground running,

and after the first 2 hours of shopping,

 we had them lined up,
around the first floor for checkout.

Now and then I would catch

a couple gals perched on the winding stairs,

catching their breath and visiting.
The treasures flew out the door,
and some very creative stuffing of cars
was witnessed.

Phase one is over,

the decision of what to keep and move, 

what to sell..

Phase two, I packed up most 
of what is going to the new house, and 

staged the rest for sale.

The sale is over.

Phase three is the prep for items to be

sold in other venues, and finish the 

packing for the move.

Phase four is overseeing the moving day,

and then it is over here in lala land.

The final goal is to safely 

and efficiently get this couple
to their new home

There are special circumstances
surrounding this move, and 
family and friends await them
 to help and support
them on the rest of the journey.

Once again I have to praise the 
unyielding strength of another woman
I am privileged to know.
A very private person 
who without fail has shown humor and 
love in the face of very difficult
times, and daily amazes me with her patience
in dealing with an insidious
disease that has slowly taken her 
husband to a place she cannot go.

Not sure what is next
here at oldgreymare.
I'll let you know as soon as I know.
Have a great week my friends.

A few gals from Ca asked if

they perhaps should make the trip up for the sale.

If I collected Fitz and Floyd, I would 

travel here from CA.

(It took me four hours last week from Culver City.

To get to sale location, north of me,

 would add another 45 minutes?)

We have nearly 100 pieces.

It's Vegas Baby

SO much else to do....

Estate Sale Lots of Happy

This is my friend Ronda.

She is a happy shopper sitting here.

She just finished checking out from an Estate Sale 

I have been organizing for a client.

These are her treasures she is packing up.

She is also one of my

 two wonderful female bosses.

Lots of girls found lots of treasures.

Lots and lots of work involved for me and 

the client and we've only just begun.

This day a group was shopping

 by special invitation only.

Be not dismayed however,

 for there are still many rooms filled with 

glorious decor items, collectibles and furniture,

yet to be displayed and priced.

Another gal is stacking on the porch

 to load into her car.

This is the bed of a very large pickup truck.

One solid layer.

The BIG event is coming up later this month.

If you are local and on my "Gatherings"

 email list you will hear the details soon.

Email me quickly if you wish to attend, 

because you must be invited

 and placed on a master list.

I've told you gals of big sales in my past

at local events, and at my home.

This one will beat them ALL.

really - truly - no Sh** Sherlock.

It is NOT to be missed.

Darling daughter landed a job on a feature film,

WHOO HOO

 and is leaving earlier than we had planned.

Scrambling is the word of the day/week.

I'll come back up for air,

 sometime around mid - July.

See you at the NO **** Sherlock SALE!!
