Estate Sale Mania!!

Hello, Pat here.  Judy and I went to a fabulous estate sale this past weekend.  It was a 6200 sq ft house that use to be a theatrical business run by a very talented man, Danny Morgan.  Danny had run this business for 35 yrs and was well known in New York and California as well as Galveston, TX which is where he had finally settled.  He was friends with many Hollywood stars most of whom he costumed for movies and shows.  Unfortunately, Danny passed away and his many wonderful costumes and accessories were being sold.  Every sq inch of the 6200 sq ft house was packed FULL and I do mean FULL of wonderful treasures from the theator (including a giant deck of playing cards which yours truly now owns!).  It was probably one of the best picks I've ever been to.  And the lovely lady running the sale, Christine Solis, and her wonderful staff were the absolute BEST!  Their kindness and patience with many 'not so nice' customers is to be commended!  Judy and I both came away with much more than we should have but we had fun, fun, FUN and made many new friends--so here are the pictures of a really good pick!!!

       Judy and I are all smiles as we display just a few of the hundreds of wonderful items we took home!

                            Bonnie is ready to go home, but I think we got her hooked on picking!!
       We just can't said enough about how great Christine Solis and her staff were at the sale--very professional and well worth considering if you plan on having an estate sale of your own. 
     Well, that's about it.  We now have houses full of wonderful treasures, lots of good memories of a great pick and some really nice new friends!!

Until next time, keep on picking!!!
