WARNING...ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK...HOARDER HOUSE SALE !!!

A few weekends ago...we visited two different types of sales...


The first was at a church & here we found some of our most fabulous finds...

BUT today we will tell you about....the second one !!!

WARNING...ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK

"A HOARDER HOUSE SALE"

YIKES !!!

The first word that popped into our minds was...

UNBELIEVABLE...

We were Speechless, Horrified & Sad...All at the same time.

My sister & I had been to this house before...


In the past, we had purchased a few things from the gentlemen who had owned the house. His yard sales were a bit messy, but nothing prepared us for this visit.


When we arrived...his friend told us he had passed...it goes without saying...she was very emotional...& we spoke about how nice a man he was. This was the first time that we had ever entered the house.

As we walked around his home...it saddened us & we wondered how someone could possibly live like this. There were clues to the hoarding, but nothing prepared us for what was actually going on inside.

We all have things that we have a hard time parting with...but this is to the extreme. We looked around & we wanted to find something that we could take away as a remembrance of this kind man.

I was able to find a pretty blue decanter & glasses with the label marked Italy...

My sister, Lorraine found some old maps & bottles...

We have yet to decide if we will sell them.


Maybe we'll keep the memory of this man alive.


On second thought....


& from the looks of our  store stockroom, Lorraine's garage & the buckets in my backyard...maybe we are only one step away from becoming "HOARDERS" & the blue decanter, maps, & bottles might soon be available for sale here: http://www.lorrainesfavoritefinds.com/.


Stay tuned for more adventures from the...
