RANDOM ESTATE SALE
i could have had some nice pics, i put in JUST RECHARGED batteries in the camera, BUT one alas was a fucking dud. SHIT. oh well. WEIRD older house. 1930-40's pre-ranch. lots of qart museum boks, water damaged books. there was a cool 1800's decorative planter/fontain thing in the garage, so i hit that 1st. found the 5 funnels and i spotted a nice old thimble in a box of stuff. off to the house, by the nice 1700's chair. walked into a sort of sun porch room. odd assortment of porchy furniture. spotted the blue prism and the wood carving bird. off to the kitchen counter. not good kitchen stuff. look at the built in book shelf. great old william + mary chair in the corner. ART MUSUM BOOKS, moved on to the dinning/front room. more books, more stuf. i grabbed the 2 books there, actually 4 big books. the ad said empire couch. WHY it was a must do. it was awesome egyptain carvings. went down a corridor. 2 bathrooms close. 1 a shower, the other had a tub. his + hers. found a bedroom. it had a couple pieces of art + such. where i found the french illustrated page. has some stains, but hand colored? odd mix. giraffe hedgehogs? or echidnas? then i went to the basement. looked like antique furniture repair workroom. looked into all the boxes, OOH, east lake window locks. keep looking into bozes. mtal shelf. OOH, what's that rust thing? asia carving? doesn't feel like plastic. broken, no base, but complete. framed seed packs. ALMOST got one cause it had pansy pack. but not old enough. chinese thing i almost thought molded. but i actually think it's carved. good $3 snag! love the hedgies.
