About Lucky Star
A local, owner-operated business built on hard work, compassion, and a genuine love for what we do.
Bridgette Barnes
Owner & Lead Organizer
Hello! I'm Bridgette.
I've been working as an estate sale coordinator for 8 years and also dabbled in the auction world. I've seen the nitty-gritty and I'm not afraid of hard work. My favorite part of this job is bonding with clients during difficult times and working hard to lift the stress off their shoulders with positivity and a go-getter attitude.
I graduated valedictorian from the Columbus College of Art & Design with a degree in art history, and I bring years of research experience to every sale. Every estate has its unique challenges, and I genuinely love the problem-solving side of this work.
8+ Years Experience

Columbus College of Art & Design
Valedictorian graduate with a degree in art history — bringing deep research expertise to every sale.
People-First Philosophy
Bonding with clients during difficult times and lifting stress with positivity and a go-getter attitude.
Why I do this
I want to take 100% of the stress off my clients by coordinating the emptying of a home during emotional circumstances, while also providing a service to the community — helping people find lightly-used treasures instead of shopping at big-box stores.
"We're in it for the love of the game."
