Discount Weekend Wraps up Amber Ostrich Estate Sale Extravaganza!

It’s discount shopping weekend for our huge Estate Sale here in
Austin/Elgin, TX.

This three-week long estate sale is sadly coming to an end this
weekend. It’s our final weekend, so don’t miss the fabulous weekend discounts!

Discount Days:

Saturday and Sunday
almost everything will be 50 percent off!

A few select, big-ticket items will not be discounted, BUT
everything else will be!

So what’s left, you a want to know?

The short answer is: EVERYTHING!

Antique burnt bamboo

This was three sales in one. Basically, there was so much stuff to
choose from, even if you didn’t make it out the first two weekends,
you have not missed a thing. There were multiples of many, many items.

The long answer is:

  • We have indoor and outdoor furniture (lots of wicker and bamboo left)
  • Home décor
  • Holiday/party dishes and wine glasses
  • Candlesticks and candles
  • Books
  • Artwork (boy do we have artwork!)
  • And so much more!

We’ve still got much of the collections: Milano, Glass and Ceramic
Roosters, Ostrich Eggs, Hand-painted and Marble Eggs, Out of
Africa, Sea Coral, Glass Fish, Glass Fruits, and Glassware
(including Carnival).

We’ve also got jewelry, crafting supplies and vast amounts of bed
linens, with many sheet sets, etc. still new in the package.

*The Big-Ticket Items:

We’ve got a beautiful, Olhausen pool table with pool cues and
balls. (No discount on this item, sadly, but the price is still a  great deal!)

We’ve got a Stoddart baby grand piano, and a standing Victorian
organ.

We’ve got gorgeous chandeliers.

And so much more.

Items from a non-smoking home, so much to choose from, and our seasoned estate sale shoppers know that sale items are sold for a fraction of the cost of a new item. These prices are a steal! If you were planning on paying big for a family Christmas gift for your family, come check these items out.

Olhausen pool table

*A selection of the big-ticket items will not be discounted.

Grab a spot in line while you have a coffee from our coffee truck, Jack Hates Coffee (coffee will be there only on Friday this time) and a taco or tamale. We will have limited entry to make it a pleasant experience for our shoppers! There is a large checkout and porters working for tips who will help you load your treasures. As usual, Cash and Carry! Credit cards taken for purchases over $400.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Wildfire Relief Fund.

Estate Sale Extravaganza gears up for second weekend

Well folks, we had a great first weekend, but there is MORE!  Amber Ostrich, your friendly Austin estate sale company, is hosting the second weekend of our three-week estate sale!

For the FIRST time we’re going to open up the spacious 6,000 square foot home and let y’all have at it!

We have so much to sell that we have to break it up into three weeks.

For the second weekend, we’ll have the entire estate opened up to the public. It is set and staged for your shopping convenience, with plenty of parking!

For our seasoned Amber Ostrich Estate Sale shoppers, you know how we love to categorize our rooms and this one is no different.

Household:

For starters we have the Library, filled to the brim with years of book collecting. This collection is filled with fabulous books! We’ve got over 200 cookbooks, Texana, oversized coffee-table books, art books, books on jewelry making, and a small collection of antique books.

Books galore at this Estate Sale

After selecting your new books to read, stop in at Lamp Land and pick out a new decorative lamp for your reading corner.

Next up we’ve got a Cooks’s Kitchen!

This kitchen is for the foodies. If you love to cook and have an itchin’ to get into the kitchen, we’ve got it all, including four (yes, four!) rolling butcher block tables and metro racks.  (Have I mentioned that this lady liked to shop?)

After you’ve cooked your cuisine, enjoy it with style by bringing home some items from the Grand Dining Hall, like gold chargers and wine glasses, and glassware galore, including collectible Carnival.

If books and kitchen aren’t enough, we’ve got enough bedroom stuff to stock a brand new hotel! (Or just spruce up your own bed for the coming cold months.)

The Linen Room houses many new-in-box linens, bed sheets, pillows, comforters and blankets in every size, twin, double, queen and king. Decorate your new bedroom linens with a selection of over 50 throw pillows to choose from in every color and style imaginable.

Next up, we’ve upgraded the Hobby Lobby room and made it the Home Décor Room! This area is perfect for interior designers, set designers and home stagers! Of course, you don’t need to be a professional to shop this area. This room is also perfect for the would-be home designer. Spruce up your living room just for fun!

Original artwork

Original and local artwork

 

Collections:

Moving on from the basics, we’ve got a cluster of collections.

The Egg Collection is filled with over 150 eggs, marble, glass, and hand-painted ostrich eggs in every size and color.

Fly in and nest in Rooster Territory while you look over 75 Milano glass and porcelain roosters.

Move over poultry, and make room for the Milano Glass Fish Collection, again, every size, shape, and color. To go with our fish, you’ll also find authentic sea coral, a fish lover’s dream decoration.

If farm animals aren’t your bag, you’ll enjoy our Out of Africa Room. It’ll feel like you are on safari with the amount of elephants, giraffes and zebras hanging out, along with some authentic peacock feathers. These decorations will be the perfect complement for all the wicker and rattan furniture we are selling, which include some vintage burnt bamboo.

Out of Africa

The Big Ticket Items:

If you’re looking for something big to pack in, perhaps a family Christmas present….

We’ve got a Stodart Baby Grand Piano, a Weider weight set, over 200 pieces of artwork by local artists, including some Mid Century Modern, an Olhausen pool table, a standing Victorian organ and tons of furniture from inside the home.

This sale will include furniture that is leftover from last weekend, but will also include furniture that was not available last week. Lots of new-to-you stuff!

 

This one will be great for Christmas shopping!

Gate opens one hour early. Sale starts at 10 on Friday, 9 on Saturday.

Grab a spot in line while you have a coffee from our coffee truck, Jack Hates Coffee and a taco or tamale. We will have limited entry to make it a pleasant experience for our shoppers! There is a large checkout and porters working for tips who will help you load your treasures. As usual, Cash and Carry! Credit cards taken for purchases over $400.
