The Urban Archeologist: First Peek Inside a Weekend Sale

A Civil War relic, Waterford Crystal, Mid-Century Modern and More..

After years of collecting and restoring what do you do when it's time to move to a simpler way of living? The sale I previewed this weekend was exactly that, a common task of the sandwich generation that requires the sorting of a parent's memories while raising junior collectors of your own (or becoming one yourself).

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to see and help organize a sale by "Just In Antiques" of New Milford. The family was nice to allow me to run all over the home shooting stills and video to document a well lived life and the items to show for it.

Take a look at the images above or go see a short video walk-thru here.

As I meet each weekend with the area's estate sale service owners, I look to present an opportunity where, if I can get a first look during set up and develop a story, I can share that "peek" with my readers.


The sale runs Saturday and Sunday and is located in Ridgefield on a quiet little side street - 2 Highcliff Terrace off Bennett's Farm Rd. Happy hunting!
