Sacramento

Sacramento Sales

When there isn't much in the Bay Area I will some times make a trip up to Sac if there is enough good looking sales. I like A Simple Solution Estate Sale Company in that area, but they are no where near as good as J and C. The items posted here were found over several sales over several weekends I will do better in the future to post company's and dates.

Art House

Art House Martinez
J and C Estate Sales

I started to learn more on this one and got there around 30 mins early which put be 20-30 on the list. This house was packed FULL of art. Mostly wall art but there was 1000's of prints not hung up and just in boxes and files. It was sooo over whelming how much stuff was packed in to such a small house.

Wasn't sure if I was going to drive out to this one or not. Last minute I drove out there and glad I did it was a beautiful drive with very neat small 3 story house. Found a few things there.

Treasure House

The Antioch Treasure House
J and C Estate Sales

This was when I was still new to estate sales and unsure how they worked. Sale opened at 9 so I got there 10min till, that should be good right? I was about 60th in line. I waited my turn to get in and the house was full of amazing items, nothing in that house was plane. From there modern furniture to the art and just everything. I don't think I got anything the first day, as I can be very cheap and didn't know J&C very well at the time, but I did fall in love with an item and went back the following day.

This sale I would like to say was the sale that started it all, if I could go back to this sale there would have been soooo many more things I would have gotten
