We’ve been busy all week getting the carriage house ready for tomorrow’s sale.

It looks like we’re finally going to get lucky with the weather this time around.  Well … for the most part.  It’s not going to rain, so that’s good.  And we aren’t going to freeze our toes off, so that’s good too.  Instead it’s going to be in the upper 80’s.  We may actually be hot!

And speaking of hot, we’ve got some hot deals (bad segue, I know).  My rusty pumpkins range from only $12 for the largest to $8 for the smallest.

We’ve got a few pieces of ironstone available again this time around.

We’ve got a sizable Christmas section as well, so I hope some of the buyers can think ahead to Christmas despite the unseasonable heat.

As an avid garage saler, I’m used to buying vintage Christmas items when I come across them in the summer.  It’s always good to plan ahead.

After getting a message on Facebook Marketplace from someone who was annoyed that we don’t accept credit cards, I feel like I need to remind people that we are not a shop.

We are three gals who enjoy thrifting, garage sales and the occasional estate sale.  We find cool vintage items and sometimes we add a little something fun to them.

And sometimes we don’t mess with the original.

I think the best way to think about the Carriage House Sale is to consider it a very highly curated garage sale.

We’ve dug through all of the piles of old stained Tupperware and tacky plastic kid’s toys so that you don’t have to.  We’ve spent hours and hours scouring garage sales to come home with only a handful of finds that will make their way into our sale.

Really, you just never know what you might find at one of our sales, but we think it’s all good.

Nothing here has been ordered in bulk from China, pretty much everything is vintage and one of a kind.  Except possibly the random decorating or gardening book …

and you definitely won’t find any stained Tupperware or half-used toiletries.

So no, we don’t accept credit cards (but we do accept Venmo, and that ol’ standby called cash).

We also don’t package things up in fancy bags, we just recycle the grocery bags we’ve been stashing all summer.

But you might find one or two items for your home that will add to your own special blend of eclectic decor.

Hope to see you there!
