We had a great turnout last Tuesday at our newsletter subscriber-only advance sale but even that didn't make a dent in the bounty of good stuff stored inside the home of our next estate sale. The regular sale is set for this Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 2028 Forest Hill Drive in Silver Spring. See hundreds of photos on our Facebook page.]
