{For the record... I wasn't even there, for myself. : )
I rarely go... to Estate Sales... anymore.
but... I knew... a couple of my Friends...really... Love... the type of things that were going to be on this sale.
so.. tried to help them... Git 'er Done. : )
I did get some cool things... : ) everyone did. : )
These sales...are crazy. I've conducted 'em... and... they are crazy too.
It's kind of like 'Black Friday'... for the 'real World'...
{I don't go out...on 'Black Friday'..... well....I did...once, to get 'one' of a few laptops that were going to be on a super sale.
I stood in line... at the store... thinking... my 'Estate Sale' Training....was giving me a Huge... advantage. : )
oh my. : ) }
I left out.... one... important rule.
Rule #11.
Have Fun.
My Pal's Lynn and Lea.... said they did. : )
I had Fun.... seeing them get some things... that they will... Cherish.
The Man... whom these things belonged to.... would be very Happy... they are keeping... much...for their Farm Collection. : )
me too. : )
you see....
it's not...'always'... about 'money'. : )
In our cases...for The Most Part... it's for the Love... of Old. <3 }

Gittin' 'er Done.
Makin' It Happen.
: )
I was tellin' Lynn... exactly... how we were going to Tackle... this 'Run'. : )
{Lea.... took this image... as I was... 'explaining'... how Things... were gonna go. : ) }

Go Big....
or...
Go Home.
I was #3.
They decided.... We decided....
maybe...
I should... 'Take The Lead'...
on this... 'Run'... : )
"Let's Make It So".... : )
