estate sale story.
this sale was in an old posh neighborhood called the wawatosa highlands. the streets are laid out to look like a centurian's helmet. best part is a circle. when i had summer bible school, the driver went around the circle for fun.
well, it was on martha washington drive. on a steep 20?ft hill. a big old brick house. well, this should be good right? ad said lots of books.
well, the atached porch/garage was pretty sad. what a mess. small kitchen, but basement 1st. i fond 2 pulps with good covers for ebay and a couple porcelain wall sockets. did have some very nice roasters-3, but i ain't carrying THAT down that hill.
the kitchen didn't have much. had a sun porch, not much, but more books, paw through that. OH, here is a mini book like 2 i already ebayed, and a 20's jane eyre.
backtrack and find stairs to 2nd floor, ooh, nice stained glass windows(only feaure worth taking a pic of).
1st room-crap, 2nd larger library. hmm, books mainly suck. oh, look a paper bag of maps. ooh, i found some interesting ones. gotta have old gas companies or good grafics. OOH, a free dairy advertising map. why so many texas maps? visiting hubby at Korean war boot camp?
back downstairs.
why did they have a mini tiki??? those do well on ebay though, and this one is cute.
a few other little things, but over all, another open house sale. sounds good, but rarely as good as the ad. BUT, i was in a house in the wawatosa highlands!
