Thinking about everyone affected by hurricane Sandy
I want to send out a message to all of my New York & New Jersey friends, family and Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales customers. I hope you are all ok, safe and healthy, that's all that really matters in times like this.
Please accept my well wishes and prayers to all of you and your families.
Don’t hesitate to contact me if we can be of any assistance in any way.
It
is an honour to be organizing the most amazing estate-antique sale for both Tom
and I.
We
believe this is sale that you won’t believe!
Day
One: We travelled to the house today to formulate our set-up plan.
We
were there all day in this awesome 3 floor museum of 17th & 18th
century items.
In
formulating our plan we think about customer and employee safety, logistics and
security of these very valuable items.
Day
Two: It was time to put our plan into action!
We
decided to start on the 3rd floor where we discovered many Victorian
antique chairs; chaises, floor; table lamps, and chandeliers. We also found a cello
which needs some TLC. We opened one box a we were amazed to see five 17th
& 18th century antique wind-up toys, all in working condition! We
opened another huge box which we knew was a painting but we couldn't believe
what it was! It was 17th century painting by the renowned artist, Mario Nuzzi, or Mario di Fiori was an
Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Rome. He was a pupil of
the painter Tommaso Salini. He was among the first Italians specializing in
still life painting of flower arrangements.
If the day wasn't exciting enough we unwrapped
another box and found the 17th century secretary! Its absolutely gorgeous!
I was dizzy with the day’s discoveries, I had to
get some fresh air where I had the pleasure of talking to the next door neighbour.
She told me a few stories about the gentleman who collected all these wonderful
items we were uncovering. He was very well liked and respected in this family oriented community.
Well, that was day one; I can’t imagine what day
two has in store for us.
Please give from your heart. It doesn't take much if you have it!
If you are in need we will be happy to help you any way we can.
1. The Christmas Toy Drive: Please bring a new unwrapped toy for a boy or a girl to any of our sales. These toys will be handed out to sick children spending the Christmas holiday in local hospitals.
2. Food Drive: We accept unexpired canned and dry goods at all of our sales. These items are donated to local food pantries that desperately need the donations.
3. Winter Coat Drive: After watching the documentary about Father Mychal Judge, the FDNY Chaplin who was killed on 9/11, we have decided to try and pick up where he left off. I use the word “try” because he was a huge humanitarian force and outspoken advocate for the homeless and people suffering with aids and alcohol addiction. Few people can duplicate his spirit of giving but we’re going to try. We need winters coats in all sizes for men, women and children. Please make sure they are in clean wearable condition. The coats will be given out directly to the homeless by Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales staffers in and around New York.
