RANDOM "ESTATE" SALE POST
well, fri's sale wasn't very interesting, except the nice man whose house was being emptied was there. i got his grandma's cucumber, cabbage slicer. big one. and he's 80. i had a very heavy bag and he helped schlep it to my car. i wish i had asked about the carved bone eagle.
after the Open House sale, i went to the Open House leftover shop. you never know what they might have. i got a big cigar box of old wood and copper printing blocks, plus on metal printing capital letters.
i was a bad girl. i got another folding ruler, but it was not expensive. slightly damaged. and i could not resist an old india hand painted box. SHIT, DON"T PUT TAPE OVER THE HAND PAINTING YA KNOBS! i couldn't resist a kangaroo?!? painted on the side. the deer were neat too. the top people? not so much.
oh, in the entry, there was a very old wheelchair. yes, i sat in it, just to see how comfy or not it was. was adjustable. only $125 right now.
