Mid 1800's... Beauty. and... 'Let Them Eat Cake'.

Pal, Bill... and me, went Waaaaaay Out, in the Country, looking at an Estate Sale, today.

It's situated on a Farm... on long, and winding gravel roads.

: )

Load's of Stuff!!

oh... my.

Told Son, Justin's Friends... who are handling the Estate, we'd have to do some processing.

: )

Figure out which route would be the Best for them to go.

Have a Sale... there.

Divide up the contents, by category... sell them elsewhere.

There's Tools... Farm Collectibles, Household... Signs, Yard, and Garden... items.

Much... Miscellaneous.

Several Outbuildings with all Sort's of Things.

; )

We're gonna have to chew... on this one, a little.

: )

Bill brought a box of Dishes, he'd recently purchased from a Friend, with him, today, to show me.

Bill... knows, I have a Serious Weakness... for Early, {Mid 1800's }

Staffordshire, Romantic Staffordshire, Transferware... Ironstone, Tea Pots, Tea Cups... 

{Rabbit Hole... 'Stuff'. : ) }

Oh... 

dear.

: )

Oh....

dear.

: )

oh...

dear.

: ) 

As we set it all out, Bill, said...

"Some of it has chips... some things don't have lids... so, it is... what it is."

: )

Asked Bill...

" When we're 150, 175... wonder what we'll look like?

: )

Don't believe... we'll be as Pretty, and Useful... as These Beauties."

: )

Love it... when there are 'notes' on pieces.

<3

<3

Have many pieces, from Long Ago... with 'notes' attached.

: )

but, one of my Favorites... that I bought at an Auction, in Vinton, Iowa...

maybe, 30 year's ago...

is a piece of cake.

: )

A piece of Cake... that was Baked by Jossie Ammerman...

It took 'The Prize'... in The Year of 1897, at The County Fair, in Minnesota,

according....

 to

 It's Note.

<3 <3 <3

: )

Don't recall... what I had to pay for it.

Wasn't much.

Seems, I was the only one, at the auction who was Fascinated by...it.

: )

<3

Still... am.

: )

That must've been a Happy Day, for Jossie, at The County Fair.

: )

I've always wondered... what her recipe was.

: )

When I began this post, re-read... the earlier one, from today.

: )

Yes... I know the difference between 'board'... and, 'bored'.

: )

Usually catch some of my horrible grammar, around 3 a.m. 

It wakes me Up... out of a Dead Sleep.

?

Can't Catch Everything, these days.

: )

The 'punctuation'... missteps, I won't bother with.

: )

{There are Many... Many, I know.}

; )

Thanks, to Those... who read this blog, for not coming down hard on me, concerning my grammar, and punctuation. 

<3

'It Is... What It Is'.

: )

Love to Ya...

Prayers, for All.
