Hi Neighbours,

We're about to the have the garage sale of the year! Okay, well actually it's a big tent in our back garden but the bargains are just as good!

Come and grab a bargain for Christmas... lots of beautiful items that would make lovely gifts, furniture to accommodate all the extra Christmas guests and household items to beautify your home.

It's taken a few years growing 2 families, but Susan and Dave are finally blending homes, and that's the cue for you to come and help move some of this mountain of excellent furniture, household goods, clothing and almost anything you can think of.
Our lovely homes in Epsom and Grey Lynn are downsizing to charming Westmere YAY, and guess what.... we can't fit it all in... we will happily swap our lovely items for your hard earned cash and spend it on our lazy cats and the garden... re-purpose, re-use and enjoyment for us all.

On the furniture side we have so many large items that we will be unable to bring them all to the sale... however, we will provide photos and arrange where we can for you to view prior. Priority will be given though to those who are happy to do like Trademe, i.e. pay then collect.

All the items are from clean and smoke free homes, are well maintained and cared for and will give many more years of service.

UP FOR SALE ARE:-
Lounge Suite - 3, 2 and 1
Dining Suite - 6 seater
F & P Washer
F & P Fridge Freezer
Sony Bravia 40 inch TV
TV Cabinet
Queen Bed base and mattress - spare bed so low quality
Bedroom Suite - 6 drawer lowboy, 2 x 2 drawer bedsides, large mirror
Queen Bed frame and mattress - excellent condition
Masterchef 2 burner BBQ
2 x French Bergere chairs, linen
Oak extendable table 4-8 seater
8 oak chairs
2 oak chairs with arms
large desk with computer tray
2 x long mirrors
2 x CD racks
tall display or CD rack with drawer
Oak Dresser, 6 drawer with double cupboard painted aubergine
2 x IKEA side storage tables
Metal slat style bed frame for Queen bed
1 x wall hung bedhead - originally from The Spencer on Byron
2 x tall lamps - originally from The Spencer on Byron
2 x Art Deco large cream table lamps
2 x none matching swedish wooden lamps
collapsible clothing rail
I'm sure I've forgotten something....

on top of that, we have.....

loads of household linens
Household goods
Small microwave
Rice cooker
Top range juicer
Blender
Sandwich press
Cushions
Blankets
Kitchen items
Glasses
Jugs
Large floor rug
Small floor rugs
Pictures
Towels
Luggage
Office Equipment and accessories
Candle holders

and the list goes on....
and on....
and on....

Honestly, if I was looking for a great buy before Christmas I'd be heading to our place on Saturday morning with my pocket full of jingling coins and folding stuff.

If you buy a large amount we're happy to do online banking (and Dave may even wear a Santa hat) ... but please feel free to empty your coin trays, piggy banks and wallets as cash would be a lot easier, thanks.

If you're interested in the furniture you can either take a chance and look at the photos on the day or if you're super super keen then you meet me at the storage locker tomorrow morning at 7am! It's in Grey Lynn... PM me if you want to help shift this stuff so I don't have too!
There's obviously a bit of dismantling to be done with some of the furniture and some of the bigger items are heavy... we'll help where we can but you'll probably get the girl so bring the muscles for the lifting.

Some of the furniture is also still in an apartment in Grey Lynn (Richmond Rd near Gypsy) ... small condition is that you will need to pay to hold, then collect anytime from Monday morning to Thursday lunchtime next week (9-12 December) ... sorry, but we've had people flake before and we cannot find enough hours to get back there until Monday morning... it's silly season!!

Any questions as all, then please message me back here, or call me on 021 149 7373.

Please help us re-home all these items, they need lovely new homes.

Happy bargain hunting... Susan 021 149 7373
