RANDOM ESTATE XXXX POST
almost forgot. a semi-worthy xxxx for blogging. a semi-reliable 2nd tier estate biz. a bit far, but did say historic 1867 house.
so, drive out to waukesha, home of les paul. finally find it. amonst victoriatans, a stone 'cottageish' house. 2 floors. outside 1867, inside, 1940/60. enter into dark wood paneled kitchen. TONS of stuff. go through 'mud' room to basement. wine maker. wine 25ยข a bottle, but not feeling adventurous. intersting stuff, but zip down there. pick up old incence log cabin on way to up stairs. lots of nothing upstairs. looks like widowland. go back downstairs. dead husband was a phsyciatrist. lots of doc pics, books books books, but none i want. so much stuff. AFRICAN stuff! too expensive for tourist carving. but, find little wall hanging carved head. cheap! painted black. so many chachke in living area. piano. desk and and and ok, i will get the 60's matchboxes with owls on them. funky. and the red wood dice with #. anybody know what game they are for? 1/2 had just odd #s and the other one evens. go to kitchen for egress and yes, i WILL take that old GE small fan. future ebay. i really should see if it works. but then when don't they? the cords have to be very bad, and even then.... the heater in the basement was too boring. so, i spent $3. but was a pretty drive. and what shall i discover next week?
and today i am wearing a $1 sweater from last year. 15% silk, 30% cashmere!, 55% wool, and pretty! well, for a large tunic sweater. sooooooooo soft. but i am sick to remember it was a lake shore drive mansion, not much near the end of sale, got a yellow green candle stick sold for small profit, AND that was the house with the oh so deco ROUND display cabinet.
