Estate Sale & Auction News
Mound City Auctions and GWS Auctions of California have announced the largest abandoned property auction in California history. This is an onsite only auction and contains a massive amount of items including jewelry, cars, boats, antiques, collectibles, appliances, antique furniture and what really intrigues us -- thousands of unsearched boxes. Public preview exhibitions will be held on 1/7/16 & 1/8/16. The auction itself occurs on 1//9/2016 at 9 AM.
153 items from JFK's Palm Beach estate are going up for auction on Saturday, January 23rd. Items up for auction include furniture, including the twin beds the President and his brother slept on as children, and family portraits. The estate, known as the Winter White house was the family's vacation home. Bids will be accepted online, on the phone and in person. You can view the catalog on the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers website.

Love fruitcake (we do, yes really!). We also love that Crystal Maurizi of The Crystal Chef shared a fruitcake recipe she got from a collection of recipes she bought at an estate sale - Helen's fruitcake to be exact, named after the original owner of the recipe collection! Looks yummy.
