ESTATE SALE BLOGGING

whitefish bay again, but easy to get to. AND 4 day sale. i knew i had to get there early. i did not want a bag. i had enough to list. wo, got there about 12. i knew from the photos. this was depression era house. nice canister set. NO LARD.


THAT IS WHY I HAD TO GO TO THIS SALE. plus a hat pin holder i was sure was gone. piano on other side of the room. i found a few things in the room.


then it was to the basement cause he web site had a LOT OF OLDER TOOLS. the BIG old green painted tool chest was there. my bamera was a bitch. a very nice desk. ishy drawers. so my $20 desk rocks again. alas very few tools, but i fished a few things out of a mixed box. i should have goten the ink. but i pawed thru a box of new outlet swuitces when OOH, a 2 headed scket. i squealed audibly and a guy nearby asked if i found something. OH YES! i just ebayed a similar 1 for $15+.
books not very interesting. back upstairs. i was looking at the dinning table of goodies and i grabbed a few things not expecting a bag. then i found the hat pit holder. NIPPON handpainted. THREE DOLLARS???? ITS NOT GONE???? MINE! i pulled a few things on a pile + then went to the back family room. and i spotted it. on a table. OH MY GOD. i quickly went over to grab it. went to my knees. i could not believe it. i have been keeping my eyes open for 1. a keith bowl. a fucking keith bowl. AND HE SIGNED IT. a nice keith bowl. my mom went back the desk area + heard bag sale soon. ok. feeding frenzy. so, i found more in the dinning room to take. ooh, depression glass. WHAT. nobody had gotten the east lake platter?


back to the family room. candles + cards + more things. OH MY! who missed the vintage XMAS LIGHTS! OH MY! i have an ebay e-pal who is a rabid xmas light, night light etc collector. WHITE bulbs are valued. THERE WAS 21 WHITE BULBS. only 1 red. well, soon i had 2 bags. 2 very full bags. AND A KEITH BOWL! i almost teared up. 

there it is. the bowl. i ALWAYS take matches. bags of matches good. at home i opened the bag. OOOH! some ebayable ones. A PRE-CASTRO CUBAN ONE w. sand for the lighting. but it does not work. 


that leather thing was last minute. later i opened it. A GERMAN SKAT DECK! SHEPSHEAD! + that green mouse on the candle boxes. NEW HOARD! cute early 1900's swedish wood souvenir. awesome.
and a nice kashmir box. i will be good. ebay 2 to keep it. now i gotta get busy.
