Items of Value Inc

     This sale wins the prize for the greatest number of items belonging to one person.   Everything is clean, virtually brand new, many items with the price tags still on them.  One of the family members estimated over 1,400 articles of women's clothing.  They range in size from 4 to 12, but basically size 8 and include many blouses, sweaters, jackets, coats, over 40 belts.  Shoes are sizes 5-7.   We brought in 16 tables to display items and ran out of space, so we will keep opening boxes throughout the sale until we have everything unpacked.  We found six metal shelves of boxed holiday items, especially Christmas, still to be unpacked.  The owner loved to decorate for the holidays.  

       On top of the list is bears.  We have over 200 "Cherished Teddies".  All are limited editions.  The larger ones have the limited edition number on the bottom.  We also have the original boxes for them. There are many single faux fur teddy bears, pairs of bears sitting on miniature park benches and rockers.  There is even a teddy bear table lamp.  There are glass teddy bears and numerous cast resin ones. There are teddy bear prints.  Perhaps the second theme is the seashore.  In addition to paintings and prints of the seashore, there are cast resin star fish, seashells with sand in bottles, carved and handpainted seagulls and fish.  We counted 14 sizes and colors of glass fish, also a glass seahorse and a glass crab.  Related to these is a small collection of colorful glass eggs and paperweights. 

     This collector liked colors.  You will see this in the clothes. You will see many colorful sweaters and scarves.  The front hall closet has FINE winter jackets and coats.  You will find boxes of gloves.  We grouped most of the 70 purses (mostly brand new) in the master bathroom. They include Coach, Liz Claiborne, Stone Mountain, and Dooney & Bowie. You will find assorted hats on the lighted black shelving there.  You may enjoy poking through 11 boxes of clothing apparel. Please leave the items as neatly folded as you find them.  Do not make a mess.  You will also note the various colors and designs on the 9 brand new hat boxes.

     We discovered three dinnerware patterns.  The most colorful is the Pfaltzgraff Christmas pattern in both china and glassware.  This is followed by Mikasa "Intaglio", then by Pfaltzgraff blue-on-white. Beyond this, you will discover many assorted styles of china, also much cookware, and even more storage containers.

     Then there are books, some large nonfiction ones, but mostly fiction.  You will find many on shelves, others in many racks.  Authors include J.D. Robb, Michael Connelly, Robert Parker, Joy Fielding, Sue Grafton.  You will find shelves of DVDs, including 4 seasons of "OC", also a few CDs.  The owner competed with Walmart for the greatest quantity of candles, including a good assortment of scented Yankee candles.  Not only are the candles scented, she has jars of scented creams and six scents of air freshener.

   As if this were not enough, you will find box after box of photo frames, miscellaneous items, cleaning supplies, plus in the garage shelf after shelf of more miscellany and more furniture that was in storage.  You will certainly have a good time looking at everything and deciding what you are going to buy on your first visit, then your second and third visits during the course of this 3-day sale.

   Don't forget the white patio table/chair set on the upstairs deck and the new lounge chairs and new lounge chair covers.   Hand tools and yard tools are in the basement as well as the garage.
