Hi friends, it’s been awhile. I hope you can join us this Sunday, December 14th, from 1-5pm, for our first sale to clear out the building.
As you can see, there’s a lot.
Antiques, vintage, new decor, furniture, project items, collectibles, new clothes, used clothes, vintage clothes, toys, books, kitchen items, tools, business supplies, holiday decor… just about everything. It’s all cheap, cheap, cheap… it needs to GO!
All items on the main sales floor are individually priced. Some items have been grouped in flats and baskets. All items in the back room: whatever you can fit in a large paper sack for $20.
I’ve also brought items from home because I need to PuRgE!!
Sale is cash only. No bags allowed.

I struggle to find the words to explain the past two years. What I can say is that I’ve not missed the store and it’s people as much since closing as I have being back in here getting ready for this sale. Lots of memories and I truly treasure them all. I know some people have speculated and wondered what was going on in here, but no, I’m not reopening. While I wouldn’t trade the 8 years for anything, our family is ready to continue to move forward into new endeavors and memories. Thank you all, hope to see you Sunday.
Watch for more pictures coming soon.
