LIVING ESTATE SALE ~ PART 1

PART 1 (See PART 2 above)

My sweet mother has decided that it is time to let go of a few of her collections, so I'm happy to help her move them along to another great new home by offering them here to you. All are previously loved and marked for a quick sale. Shipping will be actual cost only from TX. Leave me a comment or email me with items you want to purchase. What doesn't sell here will be offered the last weekend of March at our annual neighborhood garage sale.

She has lots of collections, loves handpainted items, roses, etc. so you can expect more items as soon as I get them pictured. Please feel free to email me with any questions here:  stephkbird@tx.rr.com .

This little pink tree is in our bedroom ~ I pictured it for dear Lori of Pink Faded Roses. See my little pink girl tag in the background & my wedding cabinet photograph that you gave me?!?

My sweet Sissy's (JRT) Shabby Chic bed with one of Becca's pillows in it....

My dear friend Bertie of Aunt May's Cottage made the center medallion in this white bow for my daughter's wedding pew bows & I so love using it as our family room tree topper.
