Another tchotchke of the
dead sale, more victories.
We
went to a gorgeous and expansive ranch in a nearby valley for their sad, going
bankrupt sale. I wish I could have
bought that many-acre ranch with all the guest houses, but that was too
expensive.
Going
into the reception area, Grace saw a carved Indian-head stone statue sitting
beside a pond. When we asked the
owner how much it would cost, she said she didn’t even know it was there. We bought the statue, perfect for our
living room or garden, for $25.
Yet another estate sale, in a
grand two-story home, brought us a Diego Rivera-type painting of mother and
child. It hangs in my office.
Tchotchkies of the Dead have
brought us many treasures, visits to place we would never have seen if we were
not looking for estate sales, and stories to tell. They have been quite good for us.
