RANDOM ESTATE SALE
the one sale i really would have liked to go was way out of my 'areas i go too'. sure, usedto own a furniture store, sure lot of mod, but too far, so, well, a much closer maybe sale. never know with D&M, but i usually find SOMETHING. even tho the listing mentioned nothing of interest. pet cages? nah. BUT, did say large old round oak table. small shit house. 1940's? small boring. yuff on the lawn. not a great sign. go in. take plastic bag of wood letter teaching 'blocks' for cousin. quick look at stuff on other table. saw a nice pot. maybe. quick, kitchen. sigh go towards basement. nothing in basement, so no go, behind a very large microwave over the sink, spot a newer muddler. take. no nice knives or anything alse, off to bedrooms. streetside room mostly bad Xmas shit. go to the other little room. lot of wood stuff....JACKPOT! i always wanted on of these turned seed pods i see at art fairs. $$$. nice smalll one 50ยข! MINE. oooh, that is a nice burl! how much?
not much in the house, but i did very well for $4.25! always sell the burl for retirement later.
