Wouldn't you know it. I'm totally broke. I have 55$ in my checking account and about 99 cents in my purse. I was hoping some money may have landed in my account from Ebay or Mercari or Facebook Mkt Place. But no such luck.
But I found a few items. A large metal cat picture frame that is the bomb. About 12 inches in height and perhaps the same across. A half full bottle of Chanel #5 at half price I swooned. The fragrance reminds me of my Mother. I prefer Coco Chanel but for 8$ what a bargain. I can put a few drops behind each ear lobe and smell like my Mom all day long. Because it's a high class perfume. Emphasis on Perfume.
I went to the Goodwill, my Honey hole and spent an additional 8 bucks and walked away with a Canon Powershot SX20is. 4.99$ Say what?????????????? Really. It takes batteries (boo!) but I will try it out and see how it compares to my D-50. I also picked up two insulated heavy duty metal surrounding glass Tequila glasses. 59 cents per. I love that oney Hole.
I went to another Estate Sale downtown and it was in a warehouse setting. A grimy dirty warehouse with a cool mural on the outside wall. Nothin of interest in there for me (other than over hearing a tip on a good sale that will be held in April in the Seneca neighborhood. Seven GI Joes were displayed and the guy offered to sell them for 125$ for the lot. I really turned that over in my head. I know I could have sold them in time but quite honetly, I did not have the money and I am loathe to put more merchandise on a credit card.so I walked.
Another Estate sale I went in the final minutes and she offered me a gorgeous set of china for 35$ they didn't take checks (I would definitely have the dough to cover the check by Monday!) but they were cash only.
Once again I walked.
I think the Chanel #5 behind my ear lobes guided me to be reasonable. After all, there will be other estae sales. There will be other GI Joes, and definitely there will be other china!
