New Web Site

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne Jay) — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 18:51:00 +0000

My new web site is up and running. I will keep it updated with all estate sale news as well as pictures for upcoming sales and updated pictures of the Antique Griffin Mall.
I intend to take some pictures this weekend of the Mall. They will be posted on the blog site & the new web site by Monday. New web address: http://www.estatesalesource.net/

Update on my Mom. She has been doing real well and is adjusting to her new home pretty well.
However, this past weekend she fell in her room and fractured a rib. Although this is very painful she is doing as well as can be expected. She's quite a trooper. All prayers are sincerely appreciated.

Have a Great! week and we hope to see you soon.

Upcoming Living Estate Sale

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne Jay) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 16:22:00 +0000

Good News on a Sad Note!

As mentioned before my Mom has to have full time care. Well she has a huge beautiful old home which she does not need all the upkeep and high cost to operate on a fixed income. Therefore we are downsizing for her and I will host her Living Estate Sale in October. This is really sad for me because I love this old house she has called home for over 20 years but it is best for her.

The Good! news part of all this is I put the house on the Market September 13th. and had a contract on it September 17th. I never dreamed it would sell so fast during this economic disaster we are experiencing.

Since we are keeping some of her furnishings this will be a relatively small sale for furniture but you won't believe the smalls & collectibles.

I have a few pictures to post today and I will have lots more after Saturday. I will be working there all weekend because I am trying to get the sale ready by October 17th.

FYI: Part or All of the Fiesta Collection may be purchased by a family member but it may not so I have included it in the pictures.

Her home is in Hiram, Ga. and I know that's a long way for most of you but we sure hope you can make it.

We look forward to seeing all of you there & thanks for your continued support.
Dianne

News Flash - Upcoming Sales

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne Jay) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:04:00 +0000

Unfortunately one of the McDonough Sales has been postponed indefinitely due to health and other reasons. The other one (pictures posted) is still in the works by the end of summer.

Also, we haven't heard from either of the recent evaluations, which we should have heard by now if we were chosen to conduct the sales. Oh well, there are a couple more we will be looking at within the next two weeks.
We'll keep you posted via email when we launch another sale. Check back often.

Antiques in Griffin

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne Jay) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:34:00 +0000

Summer is here and it is time to go "Antiquing". Of course my favorite shop is the Antique Griffin Mall, because that's where my treasures can be found. The Mall has never looked better. Phillis & Armon do a wonderful job selecting Quality Dealers, organizing special events and attractions to the Mall. It is filled with Ambiance and Southern Hospitality.
This is the Link to their website: www.antiquegriffin.com.
Stop by this weekend and see what I'm talking about. You'll be glad you did.

We have something for everyone from "primitive" to "elegant".

Hope to see you there one day.

Update: McDonough Estate Sales

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne Jay) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:23:00 +0000

Both sales have been postponed again, due to illness. I will not even speculate when they might be because every time I think they're on schedule something happens and here we go again. I do know that the one I have pictures posted for will be first. Hopefully by summer. The other one may not be until the Fall of this year.
FYI: Cornerstone Antiques closed this past week end. I have Antiques & Collectibles only at the "Antique Griffin Mall" until I decide on another location.
Check back often for updates on these two upcoming sales.

New Blog Site for Estate Sale News

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne Jay) — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:13:00 +0000

I have set up a new Blog Site to advertise upcoming estate sales only. My Google Group email list is not functioning properly, therefore I decided to clean up the Antique Source site and add a new "Estate Sale News" only site and work on our Estate Sale Notification List to access it through the new blog site. Please check it out: www.estatesalesource.blogspot.com The email addresses are the same: timespast@bellsouth.net or diannesantiques@yahoo.com. I hope to have more pictures loaded on the new site this weekend. Check back often.

Estate Sale Update

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne Jay) — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 12:43:00 +0000

Unfortunately both of our upcoming sales have been pushed back. It looks like one may be the last weekend in April but the other one will not be until mid May. Sorry about this but please keep your calendar open for the new schedule. Both of the ladies we are working for are actually doing a lot of the preparation work themselves and both of them have been very sick, one for three weeks and the other two weeks, which has thrown us off schedule. Thank you for your patience. We look forward t seeing you there.

Estate Sale Updates / Other News

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne Jay) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 16:49:00 +0000

Both McDonough Sales are still on schedule. However, the ladies we are working for didn't want us to put pictures on our blog site just yet. Things look out of sorts as we are going through the sorting and set up process, so they asked us to wait until things looked more organized. So, maybe we will get pictures on in a week or so. We are still working towards the 1st. and 2nd. weekends in April. We sure look forward to seeing everyone again.

Now for the other news. I don't know if it's good or bad. That depends on the beholder. Miss Cheryl who owns Cornerstone Antiques will be retiring soon. I'm sad because I will miss her genuine smile and uplifting attitude. Also it looks as if the Cornerstone Antique Shop will no longer be an antique shop if things stay in the direction they are headed now. Therefore, I will have to look for another location for my small antique business and there's not another Antique shop in McDonough for me to be a part of. I will still have a booth in Griffin but I like being in McDonough also. I'll keep you posted if I find another location.

TWO UPCOMING SALES IN McDONOUGH, GA

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne Jay) — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:47:00 +0000

We are still on schedule for late March to Early April for both upcoming sales. They will be held one right after the other. I have not been able to take pictures yet. I will get some posted as soon as possible. There is something in these sales for everyone. From Primitive to Elegant. More details will be posted next week. Thanks for your patience.

Next Sale - McDonough, GA

noreply@blogger.com (Dianne Jay) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:36:00 +0000

I am currently working with a wonderful friend of mine to handle her living estate. She has been in the Antique Business for over 40 years. She closed her shop in McDonough a couple of years ago and now she has downsized her primary home. This will be a great sale and we hope to have it early March.

I do not have any pictures yet but as soon as I do they will be posted.

A confirmed date will be published soon.

We're looking forward to seeing all of you real soon.

Important Notice: I am having trouble with the Google Groups. If you have written and I haven't answered it because somehow in changing my email address I cannnot access the Group to maintain it. Therefore, please use one of the following email address to email me. Please do not respond to the group. I will probably have to start all over with a new Group. Please send any inquiry to: timespast@earthlink.net or diannesantiques@yahoo.com. I decided not to change my business email address so now I have two.
Thanks, Dianne

We wish all of you the Happiest & Healthiest Holiday Season. This is such a wonderful time of the year to share with family and friends. Make the most of it and spend time with and enjoy your family.

I have lost my Father and both my brothers and I can tell you it is so lonely when they are gone and I am so thankful I still have my Mother. Tomorrow may never come.
