We're Carl & Mel.
We Love This Stuff.
Carl and Melanie Schow have built one of Chattanooga's most trusted estate sale businesses — born and raised right here, with the expertise to know a genuine 1960s Fiestaware piece from a knockoff before they've even picked it up. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seasoned picker, or a decorator hunting something no big-box store could ever carry, there's something here for everyone.
"These aren't just things. They were someone's life. We treat every family's trust with the same care as the china we're selling for them."
Rings, necklaces, brooches, and investment-grade vintage pieces — each one personally researched and authenticated.
Every piece already exists — real craft, real materials, no factory, no plastic. Buying estate is the best vote against a throwaway culture.
