I was at an estate sale last weekend and the prices were ridiculously high, they weren't priced so when I asked I put them back and the seller was angry at me. I was gracious and told him I was a reseller. He was mad that I wouldn't buy. Sometimes you have to walk away. I wasn't rude at all but he was. I don't think I'lll be back to his sales.

Good evening, George! The 1920s buffet was a nice one. There's no way I'd put paint on it. Covering that wood grain would be like putting Mother Nature in a gaudy body bag. Loved the cuckoo clock. Love the Heisey "Greek Key" pitcher. To me, Heisey is the pinnacle of clear glass. That seemed a really good price for the Czechoslovakia vase. Mother has a few of those papier mache' figures. She's had them probably since the 1980s. Those thrift stores were all well-stocked, and the items didn't look to be a pile of rubbish, either. Even the Goodwill had a good selection. I caught a glimpse of what looked to be a chess board there. That would've really got my interest...love chess sets. That was refreshing to see thrift stores, (especially a Goodwill), actually having nice items for the local customers! Lots of fun!!! Thanks for the take-along!!!!!

I know people are converting them to bathroom vanities, painting and otherwise altering them, but I wouldn't have touched that one, it was iimmaculate! The hard part with painting furniture is taking it off later when styles change back to preferring natural wood. The Greek Key was such an amazing bargain, and it's their most distinctive early pattern in my humble opinion. The Czech vase was sweet, and the Mexican papier mache figuress (which I haven't cared for in the past) somehow struck me as more interesting when clustered without bric-a-brac around them. Yvon certainly is blessed, when the Goodwill is good you know the other thrifts have potential too lol. I'm glad it was fun, we had a good time and I'm glad it showed!

@@TheAntiqueNomad Even if the paint can effectively be removed from an old piece of furniture, you're never able to get the original finish/patina back. Once it's painted, the original finish is lost. If they're veneered, even removing the paint can be almost impossible, without the veneer coming off, too. That "Greek Key" pitcher was a steal of a deal. I've had a few pieces of Heisey, (wish I still had some of them), and. without it being lead crystal, it is the clearest glass I've seen. Mother got her papier mache' figures on a trip to Mexico many years ago. I kind of like the rustic, folk art appeal they have. I have to admit, I was a bit surprised at the Goodwill being that good. Yvon certainly is blessed to have such good resourcing outlets.
