Give It Up for Garage Sales!


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.
