<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 379433, member: 210"]I miss you guys. Nothing really happening here in regards to estates sales, yard sales, just too hot with the heat wave and humidity. I have a few things I need to photograph.....I have been cleaning out my uncle's house. A relative is clearing the house, the barn, and the shed. He will also probably do the cleaning. He underbid my realtor's contractors. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nobody wanted so much good stuff. I gave the Art Deco burled walnut bedroom set to my sister. We couldn't find the three shelves to my grandmother's china cabinet, so my brother, as a birthday gift, is having new shelving made. My cousin took what glassware she wanted, and my sister is selling the rest at her flea market. I took very few things, I have to photograph my favorite for you glassware fans.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am also on a "death cleaning" in my own house. I don't plan on going anywhere, but it is seriously time to minimize. I just spent two days clearing out the junkiest jewelry to give to my sister to sell at a flea market (I have to make sure I don't buy any of it back.) I promised my husband I would make his pool room habitable again.</p><p><br /></p><p>I finally got my 14k Art Deco Gruen watch repaired. I bought it for $8 last summer at the last day of an estate sale, and it took my watch guy almost a year to get it fixed. It cost me $140, and the watch guy had to send it out to an expert he knows. The expert fell in love with it and offered to buy it for $1,500 because of the condition, but I love it too much (and therein lies my problem and how I accumulate stuff.) </p><p>[ATTACH=full]130940[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]130942[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
