RANDOM ESTATE SALE BLOGGING
i rarely go so far north east. but no other sale and the listing said 3 generations and silver/books. and hummels and moocows. what are moocows? oh and laura's. that means more stuff.
so, went a few hours before the end. ick. glorified ranch. excecutive doesn't mean much. moocows are beastly figurines. small. crap. first i go down a hall thru the laundry room, peek into the garage. into a back room. teevee room? pretty empty beside chairs and the wood table. a lady right before grabbed bags of shells. good. somebody beside me got them. then i went back to the kitchen. always most important. ooh, 2 plastic tubs of mixed silverplate flatware. not much else in the 80's/90's kitchen. i grabbed a large handful. i hope that one i got a few for me is not desireable. pretty sure it isn't OOH, my favorite pattern. checked out 1/2 the basement. nothing. back upstairs, go to sun porch. oooooooooooooooh. tile floor heated. i enjoy it more as i am barefoot. tho, you had to put on booties or take your shoes off. looked at the ossoted plates from grandma and great grandma. nothing. more silver in livingroom. OOH. box of butter knives. no twisted? aha! many twisted. i pick out the pretty ones. the books in livingroom-meh. master bedroom on other side of livingroom. odd. for the double fireplce i guess. kids rooms upstairs. nice, a stream mores thru the back of the yard and house mostly faces the back. but very very boring. so, i get a big pile of silverplate flatware. picture only shows some. busy finding patterns. i did find one silver spoon maybe. marked w/ an anchor + USN on the back. ANOTHER navy spoon. i already have one. by the way. 25ยข each for the flatware. $1 @ for the twisted butter knives. aha. i did well, the pattern i got for me not desired. a few i grabbed for ebay are. maybe ice tea spoons do better. quite a few ice tea spoons.
