i did have a post last night, but stoopid PC froze as i was hitting publish.
DAMMIT!
well, here it is, further adventures in estate sales.
i did 2 sales. although it was in west allis and pack rat territory and a treasre traders sale, it wasn't all that great. i did like their huge mushrooms on the lawn. amazing what you can do with 2 logs.
well, outside the garage i spied a 2ft? long wood planer. very primative and was it nice. even without the metal planer. ooh. 1/2 price day? only $5???? mine.
on the way to the basement, i spy red wing crocks. red wing is so pedestrian.
basement had a bar, ooh a beegees LP. already have that. not much. oh wait. look at that odd ceramic bird on the bar. $2??? MINE! despite it being blue, very interesting.
nothing in attic. met the black lady that ran the 5th street sale in the kitchen. spyed a pestle, or is it a mortar? MINE! nothing else, so i spent a grand total of $5.50
2nd sale was BAY VIEW. PRIME pack rat area. and man did they have the stuff. almost too much. fom what i heard an elderly couple with a handycapped son. had been out of the house for over a year. the house was boring. but ooh the stuff. spent almost an hour looking(long for me). i got 2 necklaces. 3 old tins, an old key ring with 3 keys. tiny one way cool. a really pretty handpainted dessert plate MINE, and lo and behold, another large planer. dang they are heavy.
i wish i could post pics of them. so cool.
now which do i list on ebay?
