Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner

“Nobody puts Baby in a Corner!” Say it out loud. Now, say it again – with passion this time. There is just something about saying that line that is truly empowering. Now say it once more like you’re talking to your girlfriend’s dad after he refuses to let you twirl her around the dance floor like a cheerleader’s baton. Now, flex your bicep!

SoChilite Lynn Cass has moved to the mountains. Nobody can KEEP this baby in a corner, but you may be able to put a few of her things in a corner of your house. Cass’ Estate Sale, conducted by her interior desecrator Terry Holland, will be this Saturday, Sept. 19th from 9am – 3pm @ her 547 College Street home. She’s selling everything that wouldn’t fit into the mountain-climbing pickup! Pieces will include antiques, flatware, artwork, Americana/primitives, silver, crystal, stemware, kitchen, miscellaneous…too many treasures to list. Questions? Call Terry @ 478-747-3094 beginning Friday.
