One of My Favorite Sales Ever - PLUS Aces 10th Anniversary - HALF OFF DAY!

When I say that this weekend's sale is incredible...

I'm not even kidding. This weekend's sale is ONE OF THE BEST we've ever put together!! Not only is this sale one of my favorite collections - this weekend marks Aces Estate Sales TEN YEAR anniversary! We couldn't be more excited for all of it!

We will have cookies and snacks at the door for you - AND - we will be having a RAFFLE - every hour! That's SIX free things! (one entry per person - no purchase necessary)

Before I get into this amazing sale, we have some business to discuss.

- NO LIST ON SUNDAY - FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.

 IF the home becomes too full, we will have to resort to one in, for every one out. We only have one register this sale, but we will be working quickly to move everyone along.

EVERYTHING (mostly) IS HALF OFF TODAY - ALL DAY!! 

- There will be some cones directly in front of the home, as well as the private driveway (neighbors) and the home driveway. No parking is allowed where these cones are.

- Parking on the street (at least I know the East side) is ok. There is more street parking on the side streets. Just don't block neighboring driveways or mailboxes.

Ok... Now back to this remarkable sale.

"THE FANCY ROOM":

This room WILL BE LIMITED to TWO customers at a time. You will have a 20 minute limit here.  ALSO - this room is NOT half off.

NOT ON SITE - but coming in Saturday morning - LOADS of Sterling silver, some gold and racks of other jewelry. Some Judith Jack, lots of Silpada and so many styles. This jewelry is AWESOME. AND normally - we sell gold elsewhere - but these pieces were too good not to bring to you.

NOTE: You will have to leave your items from this room - in the room until paid. You will get a slip from the staff and once it's marked paid - you can pick up your item(s).  

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE - NONE OF THE JEWELRY IS AT THE HOME. IT WILL BE BROUGHT IN SUNDAY MORNING AND LEAVE WHEN WE LEAVE. 

And for the love of god - stay away from the pond. It has been drained, but it is still full of mud and very slippery. We will not be responsible if you mess around and find out. ;) DECKS MAY BECOME SLIPPERY IF IT RAINS, WHICH IT IS SUPPOSED TO. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! 

- ONE MORE THING - as you walk around this home, you will find several rooms that are locked or blocked off. DO NOT attempt to enter them. They are off limits. But, I'll bet you know what it means....  it means there will be a ROUND TWO!!  In a few weeks we'll be opening up those rooms and re-filling the house with even more amazing things! It's so full that we just couldn't possibly safely/comfortably display it all in one go.

This is an incredible sale. And it marks a huge milestone for us! I really hope to see you all there!

LAST IMPORTANT NOTE - HOME DOES HAVE AN ALARM SYSTEM AND IT'S A LITTLE TOUCHY. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE PROPERTY - AS IT WILL GO OFF.
