    I can't make it to Michigan for an estate sale but I thought this Whitelake, Michigan (Greater Detroit Area) estate sale had a lot of appetizing goodies in it for someone who lives far closer. Do we have any Michigan area Antiquers?

    What catches your eye? That dental cabinet looks amazing and the treasures in this sale seem to be well varied and endless.

    Buy a couple of those MCM lamps and you can take over the Kitsch thread.

    Thanks for giving me impetus to clear out my own estate before it looks like this one! :jawdrop:

    Looks like an ex dealers house, although that is irrelevant if you get the stuff at the right price.

    I'd like to have a good shuffle through that tray of cameos!
    The pair of MCM teal lamps are beautiful and owning a Chuck Jones-signed piece of Bugs Bunny original art would be fun. The concept car drawings are fabulous.
    The sale is about an hour away from me and, due to my work schedule, I couldn't get there until the third day but it's tempting to go have a look...

    Kind’ looks like the stock of a traveling antique show couple. He did coins and she did jewelry and smalls. Meanwhile, they would add to their collections. Oh, how I loved to go to those wonderful sales.

    Eek I don't know where I'd even start.

    I've noticed that estate sales in a lot of different areas go one for 3-4 days. Where I am, a whole-house sale will be over in one day. If there's a lot of stuff, maybe two days but that's usually an exception.

    I'm glad we don't have 3-4 day sales, I wouldn't like all that competition :)
