<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 3656788, member: 84"]I went to a estate sale today on Belle Meade Island in a big, beautiful home right on Biscayne bay. I bought 2 large(!) hand signed Romero Britto prints; The Hug; 66" x 22.5" w/frame & a large square framed one that I haven't found the name yet (but I did poke a hole in it somehow while driving back home!) - she also showed me, but wouldn't sell it to me, a large birthday card her husband had Britto make for her!</p><p>And I bought a large carpet (9' 7" x 12') that the lady said had also been a birthday gift - and that it had previously been in the White House!

She text me photos of it open because it'd been raining and I wasn't going to open it & she told me there was nothing wrong with it - and she'd had it cleaned before putting it in a storage pod on her property. My question is - Is there a way to tell what auction it came from?

Also I tried to open pics from her phone to mine for here but it wouldn't so these are all I have for now. Also any ideas how to fix the Britto would be greatly appreciated!
