A DECEMBER GEM!
By Shirley Carolan, ATM-G
I
love discovering new ideas, things, places, etc. that I can share with
others. This December is no
exception. Recently, on my way to the
Oceanside, CA post office to mail off my last Christmas Cards I passed a sign
at the side of the road announcing an Estate Sale.
Curiousity
got the better of me and I knew I had to explore it after I was finished at the
Post Office. I followed the sign through
an industrial complex and arrived at a large warehouse with signs announcing a “collectibles
marketplace,” featuring antiques, jewelry and furniture. I was in 7th Heaven. It brought back fond memories of when I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and owned and operated an antiques and collectibles shop. Outside the building was a food cart doing brisk business in the chilly wind. Inside was a gourmet’s paradise.
Several
hours later, I exited with a few purchases and a promise to myself that I’d be
back. For those who would enjoy a drive
to this area, or those who live here, following is more information:
The
vendor is known as “Coast 101 Estate Services Warehouse” at 4144 Avenida de la
Plata, Suite A, Oceanside, CA 92056. www.coast101sales.com or, 760-732-3299. The proprietor is: ann@coast101sales.com. They are now open every Tuesday from 10-3 and
Saturday 9-3. There is free parking and
free admission. You can check their
website for special, two-day monthly special events. They have estate sales, estate buyouts and
dealers are welcome!
When
I say they have a collection of “unexpected treasures” I am not boasting. I asked how long they’ve been at this
location and was stunned to learn several years but they’ve not been
advertising. I found some nice last
minute Christmas gifts here, and I’m a jewelry aficionado so I
know I will be back. If you like more
modern furniture they had lovely rattan furniture from an estate sale.
Enjoy
this gem and maybe someday I’ll see you there!
