I went to a really great estate sale on music row here in Nashville yesterday. I had a feeling it would be cool when I walked up! Look at that ivy!
The bottom floor of the house was filled with the owner's lifelong collection of autographs. He had signatures from Anne Frank's dad, to Abigail Breslin, to Queen Elizabeth to Lon Chaney. It was so fun looking at them all! Apparently the first one they sold was a Tolkien autograph!
The upstairs wasn't as neatly arranged as the downstairs. There were piles to dig through, which is my favorite part. This was a suitcase full of vintage scarves.
Looks like there was a ton of stuff there!!
ReplyDeleteI'd be real happy going through the scarves!
Looks like it was a fun one! :)
ReplyDeleteAnn Frank's dad?!?!? what a weird autograph. I hope it was hanging right by Abigail Breslin...like maybe they were hanging out together....i like that idea.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! How much was Lon Chaney's autograph?
ReplyDelete300 bucks!
DeleteWow! That looks amazing! We were too busy with stupid head grown-up stuff to go but I was dying to. I want that crazy boy scout! AND to see those photo albums, you! : )
ReplyDeleteoh man that boy scout! i was trying to think of a good reason to buy him.
DeleteDUDE! By far my favorite sale you've been too. I need that Lon Chaney autograph.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an amazing sale, I'm super jealous. Can't wait to see what you brought back.
ReplyDeleteI really need to make the time to check out these estate sales! Looks like there were some cool pieces there. I love the retro kitchen :)

What Lola Wants
you need too! we seem to have above average sales in this area! or maybe you should avoid it so your house doesn't get as full as mine. haha.
DeleteHow did you convince yourself to leave that amazing painting behind??? It boggles the mind.
ReplyDeleteit wouldn't have fit in my car. or my house. believe me, i tried to think of a way!
DeleteGreat pictures! Did you see the string art on the front of the bar in the basement? Crazy cool!
ReplyDeletei didn't even notice that! amazing! i really wish i would have been able to spend more time there!
DeleteI kind of wish i'd gotten that painting in the basement with the shirtless man. So great. See the cedar chest in the basement photo? You can see my manila envelope with Kenny's drawings from my blog post today sticking out of the upper right-hand corner! Haha! I love when you take pictures of sales I've been to because they always turn out so high-quality! :)
ReplyDeleteooo i can't wait to see! i wish someone had been with me at the sale! i wanted to nerd out about how awesome everything was!
DeleteI should come to your house so we can go estate sale hunting and you should come here so we could go thrifting.
ReplyDeleteWell..if we lived close to one another that is :)
I love your estate pics
i WISH!
DeleteWe got an autograph for a gift for someone. Tolkien went to the guy behind us for $750. (!!!!)
