Daughter of Beat Poet Father El Cerrito Estate Sale: Read, Belly Dance, Quilt, Rugs, Sew Sew Much!

Greetings!  We’ve got a packed one for you!  

Wednesday 1-5 pm is soft open:  No signs out

Thursday to Sunday: 10-4, General Public welcomed with signs.  

Kenneth Rexroth was dubbed “The father of the Beat Poets” by Time magazine, as he mentored that generation.  He had a lovely daughter who definitely took after her artistic father who followed in his footsteps as a poet herself, and also was a devout Christian, seamstress, quilter, cook, and belly dancer!  She also has lots of nice Persian rugs.  She recently relocated, and we have the honor of doing her estate sale.  It’s sooo packed, that we are only advertising to you without signs to let you get a head start before the masses arrive!  Signs will be out by the weekend.  We will also be open on Sunday! 

Read:   Walls and walls and rooms and rooms of Books!  Lots of poetry, literature, fiction, history of religion, philosophy, psychology, sociology, travel, and crafts.  

Belly Dance:  We’ve got the books, the music, jewelry and the costumes!  Go for it!

Quilt and Sew:  There are a dozen of sewing  and quilting machines.  Most are high-end.  From a Singer Featherweight and Elna, to several Viking Husqvarna and Bernina machines.  She’s got the software for many different types of embroidery hoops, a whole shelf of thread, and three rooms and a hallway of great “stuff” or notions to delight the “Sewist.”  There’s also several steamers and pressers.
