Hinsdale House Sale

The Courtyard in Hinsdale, IL is trying something new.  It will be the first and only time that we are going to do this.  The sale will take place on Friday, Feb. 24th from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm and Saturday, Feb. 25th from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm.  The home, located at 46 S. County Line Road has been sold and the current resident will vacate the house very soon.  We were approached to do a sale of items that are not going to the new residence with 50% of the proceeds going to Wellness House which is our charity.  

The home is of historical significance built by R. Harold Zook in 1928.  There have been only 3 owners in that time including the last couple who lived there for 53 years.  It has all the original floors, built in cabinets, hardware, slate roof, beamed ceilings and paneling.  

On the 1st floor there will be furniture including a dining room table and chairs, a sectional sofa, chairs, ottomans, art work, tables, a grand piano and miscellaneous items.  The 2nd floor will have a large collection of majolica and many other decorative items.  Payment can be made with cash, credit cards and checks.  ALL items must be removed from the premises by 1:00 pm Saturday afternoon.  We will not have any moving help available or people who can help you take items to your vehicle.

In the basement will be garage sale items and we can accept only cash or checks for those things.

We will post more photos available as we receive them from the consigner.  Please mark your calendars and come early to get the items that you are looking for.  We will pass out numbers as you arrive and will let in a certain number of people at a time.  There is no parking on County Line Road so you will need to park on First Street.  Looking forward to seeing you there!  Remember, all the proceeds will go to Wellness House.

Special Event -- Boutique in our Storage Area

We are happy to announce that we are participating in the "Hinsdale Art In The Park" yearly event on Saturday, 13 June, in our storage facility.  We will be showcasing 11 vendors who have special and unique items for sale -- hand made soaps, plants, jewelry, artists with their paintings, vintage handbags furs and clothing, pillows and other items all made by the displaying vendors.  We will also have our own consigned items available as well as some donated things.  The vendors will be donating a percentage of their proceeds to Wellness House.  Storage will be open from 10:00am until 4:00pm.  Our shop will be open as well during the regular hours of 10:00am until 4:30pm.  We hope that everyone will come out to support our first annual boutique and enjoy a pleasant day with their family and friends in downtown Hinsdale.

Busy, busy, busy!

We have a lot going on in the next 8 days -- First, Wellness House is celebrating their 25 year anniversary and are having a tea on Friday, April 10th for all the volunteers at both Wellness House and The Courtyard.  To allow all of our volunteers the opportunity to attend, the shop will be closed from 1:15 until 3:30 on Friday.  Second, Volunteer Appreciation Week begins on Monday April 13th so be sure to thank the volunteers at our shop when you come shopping.  Third, Saturday April 11th is the 2nd annual Home Show being held at Hinsdale Community House.  It will be open from 10 until 3 pm and all are welcome.  We will be located at Booth #2 so stop by and say hello.  Fourth, our BLOW OUT Sale will be taking place April 17-18th in our storage facility as well as some items in the shop.  We have drastically reduced donated items in both locations.  It is our way of thanking you for your loyalty and giving you the opportunity to purchase quality furniture at fantastic prices.  You will also have the opportunity to see many new things in the storage area that have yet to come into the shop so you can buy them before they are ever moved!  Remember to look for the bright yellow tags which will be on the donated items with the reduced prices.  YELLOW will be the color of this 2 day event.

Finally, here are some of the things that arrived this week at the shop.  A Pottery Barn rug, Ralph Lauren demi lune table, hand carved soapstone, leather top dresser, upholstered chair, needlepoint chair and Oriental carpet.  Come see for yourself -- there is something for everyone!

Blizzard in Hinsdale

It's a blizzard out there.  Really.  We can't fight the weather so have decided not to even try. Tomorrow, Monday Feb. 2, we will be closed for ALL consignment and move-in appointments at The Courtyard.  We will reschedule as soon as we can so that everyone can be accommodated.  Does anyone really think we need Punxsutawney Phil to see his shadow to know that we have at least another 6 weeks of winter left?  Probably not.  Stay safe.

Santa arrives at The Courtyard!

Sneak peek #44 -- Santa is checking us out -- are you?  We have many items perfect for the holidays either for use by your family or for decorating, entertaining or gift giving.  If you are looking for a great rug or furniture piece for your home, come to our storage area on Thursday, November 20 from 10am until 4:30pm when we will open the doors with all new merchandise that we have received since our last event there.  Mark your calendars because you can go to both shops the same day -- The Courtyard and the storage facility directly behind the shop in the walkway between CiNe restaurant and Hinsdale Bank.  Hope to see you there!
