Fantastic Lexington Estate Sale

For those using Google Maps for GPS directions. You will need to use 110 Carolina Ave for the street address. It will take you to the intersection where the sale is. Otherwise you will be taken to the wrong location. 

It isn’t often that we can refer to a sale as once in a lifetime, but the sale we are conducting of the estate of Mr. & Mrs. Archie L. Hodges in Lexington certainly qualifies for that description.  Mr. Hodges spent 32 years as a furniture executive and learned his craft in that capacity.  Over the years he developed a superb talent for making furniture and built his own workshop.  His philosophy was that he did not want to come home and see the same type of furniture he had seen at work all day.  To that end, he began to design and construct his own furniture for his home and to give to his family.  It is those pieces that will be offered in this estate sale.  Each piece of furniture has either been handcrafted by Mr. Hodges himself or made at the factory to his design and specifications.  Each piece is unique and one of a kind, making use of the finest mahogany, walnut and burl woods and types of hardware.  Each piece of furniture is a work of art in its own right.  To compliment the furniture, Mrs. Hodges put together a collection of superb and unique decorative accessories.  This collection is definitely a must see.  Items of  interest include:
