Calling all quilters, antique and vintage lovers, collectors, decorators, and treasure hunters! This one-day sale features an incredible mix of high-end antiques, antique children's and women's shoes, unique collectibles, an UNBELIEVABLE amount of quilting fabric, upholstery fabric, household goods, and everyday garage sale finds. (The pictures only represent a fraction of what we have available.)
We’ll have a massive selection of quilting fabric including bundles, bolts, sewing-related items, quilting kits complete with storage box, patterns and fabrics, along with vintage and antique furniture, antique collectibles, décor, household goods, various vinyl records, and plenty of hidden treasures. Featured items include a beautiful vintage carousel horse plus many other unique statement pieces you won’t typically find at a standard garage sale.
My mother is no longer able to sew and was an avid quilter and the fabric buyer for a store that went out of business, so we have a remarkable amount of high quality cottons, flannels, fleeces, laces, canvas, and so much more. We also recently inherited a storage unit full of the antiques and would love to find them a new home!
Whether you’re searching for quality antique pieces, affordable vintage finds, quilting supplies, or just enjoy digging for great deals, there’s something for everyone — from higher-end antique items to more traditional garage sale bargains.
Be there at 9 AM for best selection. EARLY BIRDS ARE STRONGLY DISCOURAGED!
Saturday Only May 30 – 9AM to 2PM 52 Deerhaven Pl in Pleasant Hill
