I hope you all had a great weekend! Nancy’s moving sale on Saturday went really well, we sold almost everything giving her lots of extra cash to cover her relocation expenses. I wish I would have taken a picture of the sale after it was set up but we had a big crowd there first thing in the morning and I didn’t have a chance.
I couldn’t resist this great chair that she had for sale so I brought it home with me. Nancy has an interesting professional background and has worked for lots of famous people and on several presidential campaigns. This chair was from when she worked at the 1988 George Bush presidential campaign headquarters. I have no idea how she was able to bring it home but I am glad she did. It is really comfy so I am going to use it at my desk.
In other estate news…
My client (and friend) Kelly from the castle sale in January was visiting from Sacramento on Friday so she stopped by to say hello. It was great to catch up with her! We sat on the front porch and had a cocktail and some snacks (Chris came home and sat in the GB Campaign Chair, our neighbors probably think we are nuts).
Before she left we decided to take a drive by
the castle for old times sake. There was a fire there 6 weeks ago and the garage and barn were totally destroyed. We pulled up and the exterior was still in place but as we got closer we could see that roof had collapsed and the entire interior or the barn and garage were completely destroyed…
This is the view looking left…
and looking right…
There was a chalkboard that survived the fire inside. It crossed my mind to sneak in and grab it but then I realized that my clients no longer own the property and that would be stealing. I didn’t want to get arrested for stealing a chalkboard, ha!
Here is a photo of
the sale a few nights before we opened. I took it when I was on the second floor or the house looking out the window. You can see the garage on the right and the barn on the left.
It seems like that sale was so long ago and I really miss that project and the family. It was such a challenge to get everything organized and priced but man it was a blast. Hopefully I have another sale like that soon!
