This Weekend, Austin Estate Sale in Shoal Creek! Home of Published Author Fred S Webster

Are you ready to come shop this weekend? Our Central Austin, Shoal Creek estate sale is ready and waiting for you!

This estate sale is for the sustainable farmer, urban agriculturist, history buff, Austin-o-phile, natural living types,  book and art lovers.  In short, this estate sale is for progressive Austinites,  and naturally, as usual, there is tons of kitsch and great vintage jewelry.

We also have some really great collectibles, unique, rare finds that history and geography buffs will love. Christmas kitsch and holiday decor and entertaining items are also in this estate sale.

Our estate owners, original Austinites and locals to the Austin area since the early 1900s, were avid nature lovers, readers, and writers. Authors of books, including many University of Texas publications and many autographed books. From a family of beekeepers and  gardeners, our estate owners were well-versed in nature.  This is one of those estate sales that comes full circle, seeing that many of this couple’s pursuits from then, are now becoming popular again.

Aside from their natural pursuits, we have many of our typical standard estate sale wares.

We’ve unearthed some really cool and fun holiday finds. For instance, this fabulous Nativity Scene and some great holidays dishes, platters, gravy boats and the like.
