Okay, so today's junking trip started out slow. But check out the gorgeous oil painting I ended up scoring at an unpublicized estate sale I found by accident! It's painted on linen, but I can't quite tell how old it is... Just goes to show, the best planning just never works as planned. Oh, and I swung by a guy who sells a lot of old paintings - he offered me double the money I spent - on the spot. I declined gracefully. So it must be worth something!
I also nailed this little poppy plaque for a dollar, plus two plate stands! (I have a thing for poppies, reminds me of art nouveau style.)
Earlier in the day, I scooped up some Asian greeting cards printed by the Los Angeles Museum of Art for a dollar. Probably shoulda bargained them down, but oh well.
Last purchase of the day: cute little Asian basket from my fave thrift store. Planning to use it to corral some of the jetsam and flotsam
that accumulates on my dresser.
I couldn't agree with you more. I find my best items at garage sales, and they're much more fun, don't you think! Love your lady! Thanks for the visit and follow! Stan
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stan!! Much more fun, I agree! There's the thrill of the chase! The drama of the sale that you discover while driving by! The amazing deals doled out by overheated sellers who just want it *gone.*
