I swear I have champagne taste. The Polynesian girl caught my eye immediately. And I was pleased to hear you say she was the best piece on that table. (I made the hobbiest version of her in the 70’s, and every time I made one, I ended up selling her to someone who made me an offer. Then I’d go make another one - then sell, rinse, repeat. I somehow ended up without one for myself).

I mix tall new glass with my swung vases. They are so expensive that i mix stuff up for the colors! I think the Tijuana Brass whipped cream cover is one of the most famous covers ever made! Boy do I remember that album! We don't have many half price days at estate sales. Most of our estate sales have gone to online auctions - which makes more money. It is sad. I really miss live sales. We don't get to go to many

We had special things we looked for, and now I never seem them on any videos, so I guess every 5-6 years or so things and fads change, I am not able to get out and look for things any more, but I am reliving it thru you and the others, so thank you so much for putting these on here!

Lucky duck - multiple estate sales that don't involve sellers I avoid at all costs! The quilt was a Lone Star, and not ancient. For $30 it's dirt cheap considering the work involved. For resale...nope. I feel sorry for the estate runner at the second sale. Tons of stuff to clean and set up and most of it not worth the effort. The third one had some interesting bits. 29:20 I have some of those mugs. Use them too. Stuff does turn up. I found a painted bronze, signed and numbered, on the second day of a sale... $5. It's a cousin's wedding present!

Good evening, George! I liked that cocktail set, but there was a shot glass missing. I can accept some of the gold being missing...shows it was actually used. I would've definitely bought the old galvanised gas can. I have one here, but the small cap is missing on it. I liked all those table linens. I would've gone ape-$**+ on those clocks. Loved those! The old German china pieces always catch my eye, but the floral patterns don't seem to do as well as they used to. Mother used to have a complete set of the Spode Christmas Tree, form England. She sold is years ago...never used it. I've noticed the repro R S Prussia pieces are actually selling for good money...not my thing. That was a steal on the Royal Winton Chintz! Definitely would've bought the portrait plates. Those would be great gifts for mom. She loves the portrait china pieces. Those were some really good estate sales! Thanks for the take-along!!!
