RANDOM HOARD POST
i got this near when i had just started doing estate sales. before i really knew what i was doing. it was a crappy sale and nothing to see in the house, and this was there. in the 60's some student carved it. 1/2 was $2. i was holding it considering it, not sure and the ES person, trying to sell it. how bout $1. SOLD. of course after getting it, i now adore it. it had been carved quite well.
my carved wood collection has grown and now i like student work. i have ceramics too. LOVE this walrus. it is quite a gem. walrus taught me a lesson. think outside the box! look at things with open eyes.
if only he still had his whiskers tho.
RANDOM EBAY POST-rosemaling
okay, i posted the pictures of most of the stuff i got at the antique dealer's sale. WELL, i started putting some of the stuff on ebay. gotta keep doing that. stuff in, move it out. WELL, i have gotten a few hand painted things-spoon, recipe box. painted box. they made me a little money. the recipe box didn't sell. rather like it anyways.
but at the dealer's house, i found 3 nice wooden platters in the attic. seeing i paid so little for them. the least of them. the small 3rd, i put a low buy it now. bought toot sweet by a nice texas bidder who lived 2 years in norway. then put the very good little one. but that buy it now $5. paid about 8¢ each. that one is very nicely done i must say. dated, signed and all.
but took longer to list the big one luckily, cause thurs, after listing it, i checked my usual favorite ebay search and low and behold, a slightly smaller, newer platter with the same name Lysne was selling for $60+. WHAT??? i check the listing. and not even a lysne, but maybe a student of. apparently a known Minnesota rosemaler. i started low. 99¢. 5th day and over $2 and 11 people keeping their eye on the listing. talk about serendipity. i think this was the first time i really had a chance to get some nice rosemaling at an estate sale. will tell how much it sells for. but i must say. i like the 2nd one the best. but i like that i took the platters from the dealer's attic, just shoved in a paper bag, and finding them homes where they will be appreciated. the big one certainly deserves it if she was that big.
oh, i so do love finding treasures even i don't know about. that is the fun i find. money is nice, but the hunt, the knowledge gained. i must find out about this LS Lysne.

got home around 9. say more tomorrow, but, it was damned hard this weekend. too much keith coming into my head. he was such a part of my summers the last few years. and where we met. not spring green, but an art fair. sales not so good. had a nice neighbor tho, and gave us a tip on the tent. closing it is a bitch, but he showed us a simpler way.
there were a few extra tall men there to make it worse too.
