It has been crazy busy doing the out of Marin auctions so now can re-focus on more local events. I’ll be doing the forever ending task of making room in Novato with the $1 Sale this Sunday 9/20th from 8-3pm (1-3pm remaining items will be free. Picks and Treasures 33 Hamilton Drive, Suite B (Overhead Doors) Novato Can’t wait to see everyone…

As of 10/1/2026, we (business partner with this venture, Pam) have signed a Lease to take over the former building of Sonoma Vintage and Antiques located at 19678 8th Street East, Sonoma. The new name is Picks and Treasures Vintiques LLC. If you are not familiar with this area, it is a one-stop shop to approximately 4 antique mall-type stores and receives consistent customer traffic. This will be operated similarly as an Antique Mall where we have multiple Curators (commonly referred to as Vendors). If anyone is interested in renting space, we have several spots left (10x10 and smaller). There are more catches and benefits which I've outlined in this link with more details: https://www.picksandtreasuresvintiques.com/become-a-curator.html If you are interested, please complete the Curator Interest Form on the link above, and I will send an Agreement via Docusign. I believe the current store is open through 9/15th if you wanted to check out the layout or even take advantage of their great sales happening now! https://sonomavintageshop.com/ If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Wow 25 days since my last post … sorry for being quiet. As usual, just a little busy with all of the home estates and pushing through the closing of the military surplus store. It was definitely a learning experience and as successful as I can be having put a lot of time and energy. I’m hoping after this weekend, it will go back to normal! Lots of fun announcements coming!

Picks and Treasures will be handling the liquidation via auction “EVERYTHING MUST GO!” But first - I’m reaching out to resellers or bulk buyers to give an opportunity to shop the store before the auction. The owner is the kindest gentleman and my heart is in it more than any % of cut. Mountain View Surplus 1299 W El Camino Real Mountain View, CA 94040 M-F 10am-7pm Sat 10am-6pm Sun 11am-5pm Phone (650) 969-7700 You must speak to Dar (store owner) ** Most important - please make sure you let him know Dina with Picks and Treasures sent you. This will dictate the prices. This YouTube video was just taken yesterday https://youtu.be/ok4THdq8oWo?si=8aAqo9vc5wa2NV3Q Likely next week he will shut down to the public where I will go in and prep for auction. This will likely be an all day, during the day auction where I will invite Bidders to come on site even during the closing of the lots so you may view, pay, and pick up your items. More details to follow!

Can I bribe anyone to come hangout with me and shop the $1 items with donuts?? Only if you are in the area or sitting around bored I’ll be in Tiburon at 9am tomorrow 1100 Mar West, Suite F, Tiburon This is located in an office commercial building "Belvedere-Tiburon Office". Building "1100" is located in the far back once you enter the one-way parking lot.
