Dear Friend,
With the greening of our world here in Maine comes the happy feeling that a new growing season can begin, We hope your winter went well and that you, like us, are busy planting your garden.
As you may know, Ten High Street will be leaving the retail scene this year. We have enjoyed tremendously our time in the art and antique business but we want to leave the dance while the music is still playing and we have the health and energy to do other things.
To that end, please mark WEDNESDAY, JULY 8th on your calender. On that red-letter day we will host our first and only HUGE TENT SALE. All inventory will be sold at a substantial mark-down - most at 50% off. ALL SALES WILL BE FINAL. Cash or check is preferred.
The hours of the sale will be from NINE TO FOUR, rain or shine and a police officer will be on hand to help direct parking. No early birds please.
Ten High Street has built its reputation on good taste. Everything in the sale is merchandise that we have bought in our travels around America plus some special pieces that have been placed on consignment with us. Some of the inventory has never even been on display before. This is a great opportunity to acquire that perfect lamp, chest of drawers, hooked rug, ceramic piece, or set of chairs.
A few of you have called to say that you can't be with us on JULY 8th, and to ask if you can come in ahead of time. After some debate John and Sarah have agreed that, from now to June 13th, such buyers may come in for the cost of a membership donation to either the Pemobscot Marine Museum or the Costal Mountains Land Trust. Please make an appointment with John or Bethany Macdonald to review the inventory. Between June 14th and July 8th, however, we will be closed to all as we get ready for the sale.
We have very much enjoyed your company and business over the years and we look forward to seeing you again on JULY 8th.
Sincerely,
Sarah and John Ames
