RANDOM ESTATE SALE POST
my usual rule has held. when a listing says HUMMEL or LLADRO, it will for the most part suck. BUT, it was in an interesting area AND Bay View. and i could also hit my friend shelly's frame shop. 2, 2 trips in one. even though it was a 'circle', most of the houses were tiny WW2/post WW2 era houses, it was intersting. house unremarkable. nothing, NOTHING??? in the kitchen. go in basement. ah, HE was a crafter. not very good, but not horrible, HEY, what's on THAT key shaped key holder? ooh, deco keys? 3 matching? take those. upstairs, well, the costume jewelry just was not intersting enough. what's that on the teevee stand? hmmm, vaguely african. stone? carved large bead? 1/2 off $1? sure. i spent $1 total. BUT, i did see a 20's ford pickup, parker, so got some pics. but RED is not a ford color.colors? why would people want colors when black is good enough?
