Here's The Deal.

Here's The Deal.

; )

When ya run across 1960's Mod...

Italian Lamb Fur... Ladies' Hats....

well,

Ya gotta try 'em on.

; )

Oh....

Dear.

: )

Yesterday was the first time I 'Worked'... at The Cedar Rapids Estate.

{Feb 6, thru... 9. }

Hadn't set foot inside.

Pal, Bill... met with The Clients, as.... I, was Battling The Dreaded Flu.

{Gads!!}

Bill walked me through the Condo... with his phone camera, when he met with The Family, so I could get an idea.

: )

Bill said... "This Sale... will be so easy. Everything is Clean...Clean... Clean!!

 So Much... is Like New!! Many Clothes, Amazing Clothes, much of them still have their tags on them!! Easy... Clean!! Everything is So Nice!!!"

: )

Bill was correct.

: )

Everything is So Nice!!

Designer Clothing.

Beautiful...

Everything!!

Bill, however... didn't mention HOW HUGE THIS 'Condo'... Is!!

Oh My LORD!!!

Hahahahahaha!!!

I Got Lost!!

There's several bedrooms. All, I believe... with Beautiful King Size Beds.

Bedding....

Clothing...

Jewelry...

NICE.

FULL...

Closets!!

Holy Smokes!!

Don't let the 'snaps' I captured.... yesterday, fool ya.

: )

Moved the Lovely Vintage Dresser back into 'one' of the Bedrooms, and the lamp, lighted mirror, and Sweet...

little Brass Giraffes, to begin resetting the 'Condo'.

: )

This a 'Living' Estate Sale, so... some of the furnishings went to Assisted Living, with The Client.

<3

Family... also kept some 'Family' things.

<3

Like always... when we come in, we... 'reset', with what needs to be sold.

Put everything back together.

; )

As Pal, Bud... used to say, when he was trying to figure out a 'Project'...

with a bit of bewilderment, 

"I'm just trying to get my 'Thumbnail Under It'. 

???

'Where to Begin??'

: )

Hahahahahahaha!!!

oh...

dear.

; )

I, actually... 'began'... in the Kitchen.

It's Always The Tuffest in any Home, in my opinion.

: )

{Mine... Included!! 

Not Looking Forward to The Time... We Conduct 'my' Living Estate Sale!!

Thinkin' about it... maybe, I'd rather have Bill, and Pals, do my Sale.... after I'm Gone. : )}

There's So Much.... in Every Drawer, Every Cupboard, and Cabinet.

{Oven, and Broiler Drawer. I've missed a few things, forgetting to go through them.}

If... You've 'Lived' in a Home, for 30, 40, 50... 60.... Years, I'm gonna Bet, there's some Duplicates of Many, Many... 'Much'... in Your Kitchen.

: )

Got as far as sorting through spices, that are still good, cleaned out a couple of Cabinets....

then, had to walk... a bit.

Get familiar... with what's there.

: )

That 'Condo'... Is Beyond Amazing.

<3

Can't remember how many Big Bathrooms.

Holy Smokes.

Beautiful Dishes... Books, and Books, Beautiful Clothing, Jewelry... Linens... Bedding... Kitchenware, Modern Furniture....

Big... Beautiful, Rugs...

Patio Furniture...

Garage... 

yeah, 

It's Quite a 'Condo'.

; )

I'll be working there, most every day through Sale Time.

: )

{That... Bill. ; ) }

LOVE... The Above Sconce.

<3

While working, trying to get my 'Thumbnail Under Things'....

 phone rang.

: )

We'd looked at an Estate Sale, a couple months ago, that is also...

Quite Good.

; )

Nice... Early... Antiques, Modern.... and Household.

Also...

 Very Clean.

: )

They've just gotten through the Legal portion of the Estate, and confirmed, yesterday...

 they would like us to conduct their Sale.

: )

Signing the contract on Monday.

We're hoping to schedule that one for early March.

; )

Stay Tuned!!

Pal, Allyson... invited me to Supper, and a Concert, this evening.

'The Faux Paws' are performing.

; )

Sounded like Fun!!

Sound's like they are Very Diverse... with their Music, but when Allyson said they play a little

'Cajun'....

: )

Oh Boy!!

<3

Better get Crackin'!!

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

{Fairfax's Council Meeting, actually had sound, last week. 

They must not have discussed our property.

: )

Tried to find where they spoke about IDOT's Survey, that was on the agenda. Haven't found it yet.

Maybe... It was deleted like IDOT's FB Post, with The Survey.

???

I'd like to see the results of the IDOT's Highway 151 from Fairfax, to Amana... Survey,

I'm guessin' it should be 'Public Record'.}

: )
