SALE!!!
March 1-3
8am-2pm
The lives we lead can be full of twists and turns, differences and similarities, relationships, heartbreak, joy and everything in between but in our current culture and society - it's inevitably also full of stuff. Part of growing up in a historically significant town such as Pasadena is seeing the preservation of those that have been here before us. Take the The Gamble House for instance built by Greene and Greene in 1908, it is full not only of incredible architectural details, such as not using a single nail in construction (however there are a few hidden brass screws in the staircase), but also of items used at the time. Items that have been purely functional along with those that have been loved and appreciated by their owners for years. As a middle school student I was a junior docent at the Gamble House and I will be covering that wonderful, Pasadena icon in a future blog! Often I think about the trinkets and decor in this home and how in Middle School I was awestruck by some of these unique treasures! Lucky for you and I, we have a giant warehouse FULL of treasures to explore!! This is actually about the stuff in our lives that are treasures and a company that has earned a flawless reputation in Pasadena and beyond!! Of course I am talking about the incredible estate sale and appraisal company founded in 1978 by Larry Hughes, Hughes Estate Sales!! Now with Todd Hughes at the helm of the family business, it continues to thrive as a highly respectable pillar of Pasadena! Preserving history and giving incredible treasures a new life, making them available for others to treasure them as well!
Equally important to the value of these treasures is service! From past blogs you know I recognize and appreciate fantastic, stand out service! Well Hughes Estate Sales has exceeded my expectations and made what I thought would be a tedious chore, an absolute pleasure!! A few years ago there was a death in my family. Overwhelmed and grief stricken I did not function well and did not know what to do with items that belonged to someone I had immense love for. It was difficult because there were items that were loved by someone I loved but I no longer had a use or desire for them in my home. Not knowing the value of anything myself, I was a little lost. Todd came in and walked me through what things were of value, what they'd sell for at a yard sale or estate sale and which items should just be donated! The beauty of it was Hughes Estate Sales came with a big truck, meticulously categorized and cataloged items before carefully packing them, put them in a big truck and took them away!!!!! (Best part about it was I got a check for those items that honestly had just been taking up space in my home and mind!) It was wonderful! Fantastic! Incredible! Awesome and the biggest weight off my shoulders in a long time!!!
So if you have anything in your home that has value that you are unsure of or are dealing with the belongings of someone that has passed, the process is easy and actually fun with Hughes Estate Sales!! They coordinate everything and you can either have a sale at a home or just have them take the items to their warehouse! Every employee that I have worked with has had the utmost professionalism, knowledge and care! Something I had dreaded became an absolute pleasure due to their efficiency, knowledge and compassion!!
