Estate fabric/craft yard sale

"Yards and yards of fabric, yarn, Christmas misc, etc." to be held July 11th, 12th & 13th and July 18th, 19th & 20th from 7-5. The address is 121 Newbury Street in Auburn, which is near Pleasant, Elm streets.

Okay folks, I decided to find out exactly where this was (go over the New Auburn bridge, past the painted wall, turn right at the Mobil gas station (Newbury St.) Now, you need to go completely around the bend (horseshoe shaped street) and you can't miss it on the right side of the street. There is parking only on the right side of the street, and there is a lot just passed the house on the right you can park in. Apparently, an 82-year-old woman who quilted/crafted passed away and she didn't take her fabric with her. The man running the sale told me it was only going to be him and his girlfriend cashing out people, so it will be a madhouse. No pricing has been set on the fabric or anything else for that matter as of yesterday, so from what I understand you take what you might want up to him and ask. He says it will take him another week just to get out the 40+ boxes of fabrics, patterns, etc. besides all the other stuff for the sale. So, if you don't see what you want one day, there might be more put out the next day. If you have the spare time, stop in each day to see what transpires...good luck!

If you need any additional information, just give Ethel a call.
