Orion's Attic is going back to our roots by throwing a humdinger of an "Upscale Yard Sale" on Saturday Nov. 22, 2014 from 9 a.m. until at least 3 p.m. We'll be setting up a couple of big tents on the corner of one of our favorite charities, Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, located at 8230 Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring, Maryland. You'll be able to gobble up some great pre-Turkey Day treasures while also helping us raise a little more money for Pyramid Atlantic as we will donate part of our revenues to the fantastic nonprofit organization.
If you weren't with us in our early days, you haven't seen a yard sale like this before. Forget Mom's old socks and Dad's rusty golf clubs. Our Upscale Yard Sales are smaller-scale estate sales filled with great stuff we've purchased on estate buyouts that weren't big enough to host sales. Think more of Mom's vintage jewelry and Dad's old toys - with good stuff from Grandma and Grandpa, too.
You'll be surprised by how much high-quality merch we can stuff inside some tents. We're packing this sale with vintage toys, jewelry, sports memorabilia, china, decorative glass, art and a few pieces of furniture and much more. (View more than 400 photographs and link to a detailed listing on our Facebook page and check back throughout the week to see what else we add. Note we'll be bringing more than we have time to photograph.)

to be brought back to full use. The prettiest of the bunch is a blue, space-age-looking 1960s Ross DeLuxe that still has a 1968-1969 Frederick bicycle license plate on it. We wouldn't mind hanging on to the plate but we're flexible. It has some chips to the paint here and there but even as a man cave ornament, this bike is a great little machine. The price is $75 for this one.
We've already bought out our next estate and are figuring out exactly where we're going to store it all and where we'll sell it, but stay tuned here for details on when that household will be available. The home is owned by a 91-year-old lady with great taste!
