well, i forgot saterdays estate sales.
1st one was an 'old farm house'. but BUT, a doll collector/maker. uh oh.
well, it did have old stuff, but most of that was too much for me to pay. and the house was PACKED with stuff/crap. basement, while grotty, didn't smell(was on an incline). not much, except an old screwdriver.
while promising, i did not find any neat kitchen stuff. bummer. but i did find 4 books. one 1897 german 'calendar'? almanac? very neat, even if i can't read it. an old 'medical' book-1885. which says tobacco bad, by the way.
and a samuel pepys Vol 1, of his papers. apparently 1 of 1500, by subscription only. not in great condition, but it was numbered. 301. THAT could be worth something. right?
and some other stuff for a grand total of $5.25. i paid 25ยข for a very heavy silver plate match holder? i actually have no idea what it is. but it is by Ronson, hich,i only know made cigarette lighters. one of which i have on ebay now.
so, i better check Ronson out. it is nice.
the second one, while in a promising area, did not have anything i was willing to buy. bummer. but i am happy to say, i did not see any -painted woodwork for once. but OY, cleaning out that farmhouse. UF DA!
oh, i am thinking of moving recipes to monday. maybe will cleaning out the PC just took too much time. and still more to do.
