Living Estate Sale for Bill and Jackie Beckwith

This living estate sale is full of oddities, collectibles, vintage, antiques, and just really cool finds. Sculptor Bill Beckwith and wife Jackie have a keen eye for the interesting stuff you didn’t know you needed. There is a house in the sale and also Bill’s old studio so make sure you go to both spots right next door to each other. There’s not air in the studio and the house is also pretty hot so be prepared and I apologize in advance!
