Oh, how I wish this sale description was my original idea, but while we were setting up this week, I read a Chicago sale notice and said “OMGeeee, that’s OUR sale!”. Outloud and in an outside voice I said it. So with a bit of creative liberty, here’s how I’ll describe this sale that you MUST attend:
If Nebraska Furniture Mart and Michael’s Craft Store had a baby, THIS sale is what it would look like ~ with Home Depot and Restoration Hardware as the Godparents. This adorable family is moving … like outta the country, moving. And since the airlines charge for extra luggage, they are leaving it behind and selling 94.3% of e-VER-y-thing! People, do what ya need to do to be at this sale … it a rare 3-day-er!

Helpful hints: Plan on being in the home awhile; looking, shopping, sifting and drooling. If you pull a yellow sale ticket, please ask a Blue Tape A Team (in our NEW aprons!) for a blue Sale ticket to confirm you will ‘own’ the item after purchase. The new homeowners take possession of this home ON THURSDAY MORNING SO ALL ITEMS MUST BE PICKED UP BY NOON ON WEDNESDAY! NO EXCEPTIONS … plan ahead, like a Boy Scout with your moving needs. This home is on a culdesac ~ for ease of traffic flow, there will be NO PARKING in the culdesac. Thanks and see ya MONDAY!
Dance first ~ think later,

and The Blue Tape A Team
