before i forget i really should put down what i saw. this is a public diary. right?
of course earlier today i was bitching at georgie.
well, it is very nippy here. but on wed i went out and did a no-no. i went to the 1st day of an estate sale. on the other hand, i didn't buy much and it was still reasonable.
it was a little post WW2 cracker box of a house. obviously a catholic woman who sewed a lot. and messy!
nice jewelry though. well, sort of. i bought a gaudy gaudy bracelet that i already have with matching earrings. sellable! also got a ruler(why?) a very old curling iron, no electric and an ol;d needle pack with good graphics(did you know people collect them?)-ebay. and a bat. a baseball bat. not a louisville slugger, but made in athens, georgia. and has pulaski on the end-on of our high schools.
and then i went over to near the highlands, wawatosa, but not quite. a little old bungalow like my grandparents down a way(2 1/2 blocks). sigh. 70's BAD! but fixable. i think. but good stuff. i got ANOTHER pretty east lakesque saw. another one??? gotta get them on ebay! also bought more silverplate silverware.
BUT, i wasn't gonna pay $20 for 5 SILVER art nouveou demitasse spoons.
so i go back for the last day. ooh! a nice spatula! teapot gone. OH! nice succelent in a mug. no spoons. darn. but take the 2 old rex stout's for ebay.a better deal at 1/2. so all in all a good week. but looking at this week. taint much.
dang. now i gotta clean.
