ESTATE SALE TOURS
the bell sale. we got there a bout 2 ours left on the lest day. the house was crawling w/ deaqlers + the sort. i anticippate a bag sale, also need 1 + i will pay 1/2 pice for some. so.
i looked over the table at the front. i grabbed 2 bells like i like + moved on.
i did not get any of the porcelain lady bells. i drabbed a string of bells, + as soon as bag sale starts, a guy grabs all the other bell strings. i should have taken another bell hanging thing, but oh well. nothing else in basement. back upstairs, i got 4 soup mugs for 'wrapping' + selling. another mug. turns out it was the best to use. double checked the hall closet. grabbed 3 more bells. back to dinning room. grabbed a teapot i liked, a few other things off the buffet. snagged some old cruet set mustard pots. 3 of them. a porcelain bell + a bad cat? off the arch shelf. got only colored glass bells + 2 clear but fancy crystal bells. then grabbed a lot of linens. then proceeded to wrap all the breakables safely. linen napkin around a glass bell sit it in a soup mug. i had 5 big bells. or 6. the mustards. and i got over 40 things in a shopping bag. i missed the antique bells, but its all about doing better than DEALERS. NOBODY had grabbed the animal bell. nobody had grabbed the linen napkins. the 12 set peach silky napkins! it's amazing how fast filling grocery bags for $10 or $5 will empty a house.
