A friend and I are downsizing all of our possessions after a big move, and will be holding a garage sale – in my living room - so I guess it’s a “Living Room Sale.” Before my move I was a boutique owner. I made my own soaps, lotions, and candles, and sold many items in antique trinket and jewelry boxes. Most of my soaps and candles have found happy homes, but I still have an extensive collection of antique pretties that are looking to be adopted as well. Some things on offer are:
• Several jadeite and milk glass pieces
• Four antique, hand-sewn quilts, three of them made from pieced flour sack material
• Two antique chenille bedspreads, one pink and white, the other hot pink with pom-poms. Pom-poms!
• A collection of slag glass – including one lemonade slag trinket box in mint condition and a turquoise slag compote dish
• Antique furniture – a caned chaise lounge hailing from 1920 – 1930, a turquoise sofa with original upholstery, made here in Portland, and an large antique steamer trunk
• Vintage purses and suitcases
• Many old and hand-made boxes from the turn of the century – one is plated silver, another is a hand-built communion trinket box. I also am selling a handmade pin-keep from the late 1800s
• Several Mele jewelry boxes in very good condition
• A vintage milk glass and rhinestone bracelet
Some not-so-old things are for sale as well:
• A white three-shelf hutch with glass shelves
• An extensive collection of Mikasa crystal
• Two large green area rugs
• Several CD collections, including the entire series of I Love Lucy, and CSI (Las Vegas), seasons 1-6 and 8
• A large, never-been-used artificial Christmas tree
• LOTS of clothing – many are new pieces with the tags still attached – ranging in size from 8 to 20.
• A size 16 wedding gown (only worn once, obviously!)
• One husband, slightly used (just kidding)
* PLEASE KNOW: We are accepting cash only. Sorry for any inconvenience.
The sale will be on Saturday, February 21 from 9 AM to about 3 PM. The address:
2121 SW Multnomah Blvd, apartment 4
Portland, OR
Cell phone: 503-970-4905
Where we are: We are off the Tewilliger exit of I-5. West of this exit is a Fred Meyer, a KFC, and a Goodwill Donation Center. Past that is an older Safeway – this is Multnomah Boulevard. Turn on to Multnomah Boulevard – we are on the right hand side in the Park Fiesta Apartments. There will be balloons and signs out to help you find us and all our great stuff!
