This weekend, there will be a lot of traffic in the little borough of Fair Haven. It is not a psychic prediction that I am seeing in my crystal ball, but a pretty sure bet. The big question is, do I join the buyers or the sellers? Well, I am hoping to do both. My kids (and I am talking young adult offspring) have decided that they want to send much of the stuff of their younger years on its way, so they will be manning the sales portion of the event.
Here is just some of what I will be putting out for sale on Saturday. Vintage teacups, English dishware, an antique hope chest (yes we have abandoned all hope), and a fantastic pine china cabinet.
I will also be selling a collection of vintage and newer hand bags including a Carolina Hererra, Coach, Ralph Lauren, Dooney and Borke, and several other designers. There will be vintage and newer wicker furniture including chairs, tables and desks, a kitchen table, hand painted signs to be used as is or cheap enough to be repainted. There will also be nic-nacs and brick a brac and some things that may defy explanation.
Some Harry Potter decor from a now grown-up kids room, and books...there will be cookbooks, kidsbooks, decorating books, how-to books and vintage and antique books. A lovely beaded wedding gown, vintage table cloths and linens, sewing items, hammered aluminum, and much more!
So, you can see why I haven't written much lately...I have been scouring the house, basement to attic to clear out some of what we have outgrown to make way for the future.
Fair Haven will also be having their sidewalk sales in conjunction with the yard sales, which means that my favorite Shutters will have a tent up with half price goodies out for the taking. If you are anywhere near Fair Haven, NJ, please stop by and see what kind of bargains you can pick up...Saturday, the 21st!

I wish I could be there for that sale. Based on what you have shared, it will be a big event. You have some good vintage things.

Well apparently no pre-sale for me...I'm always working!! Grrr. I wouldn't lose hope on that hope chest -- it looks like a peach! I'll let you know how Interlaken goes...and maybe I'll take a little road trip to visit you if I wrap up early (and still awake! :-)

Oh I do hope you do well, you've got some great stuff there! I have way too many things too and should probably have a sale myself!
Hugs,
Robin
