Hmmmm ... I didn't know you'd ...Hi Laurie,<br /><br />Hmmmm ... I didn't know you'd been talkin' about me, but it's so true about the excitement of driving up to a good estate sale (and the joy of leaving laden with tons of thrifty tresures)! I was honored that you liked my comment. <br /><br />Actually naughty Cuisine Kathleen gave me a heads-up. You have to watch that one, don't you?<br /><br />That mansion is magnificent! Thank you for taking us along. I don't think I've ever seen such beautiful paneling in a private home (not even one on a tour of homes). Thanks again for the eye candy and the fun of seeing your estate sale treasures.<br /><br />Bye for now,<br />BillBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467769804679511645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-4714080293618058852010-03-09T09:23:49.734-06:002010-03-09T09:23:49.734-06:00Good morning Laurie...girl I'm having some dro...Good morning Laurie...girl I'm having some drooling problems here looking at these pictures WOW!! look at those ceilings...the pipe organ is to die 4...I would have been like one of the fake dogs with the bobble heads trying to take all of this in...This is just awesome girl...Now what did you wear..PLEASE don't tell me an old Red Robe girl I would have wore my new pink one to this affair ha ha!!

We don't have many estate sales here, but I get that feeling when I pull into the parking lots of my favorite bargain places..<br />Speaking of feelings...Bill hasn't been around much, and after he gave me a seat at his table! I think he dumped me for another DISH! or set thereof..:)<br />Great pics, glad you left the Hefty' bag in the car. It might make the hostess nervous!<br />I like the look of freshly fallen dust on tables don't you?

I make sure I have taken my blood pressure medicine because I know my heart beat is going to go up! LOL It's the "Hunt" I tell ya! I start to sweat, just knowing I will bag the big game! I stalk the perimeter. I see all the people going in for the "big fancy" items, while I stealthly crawl through the underbelly of the hunting area. I am discreet, going undetected and snatch up the hidden treasures!<br /><br />Okay, so I got a little carried away there! Stealthly? Um, yeah, okay Diann! Well, I am stealth in my mind! <br /><br />Just thinking about the "hunt" for the little treasure I got all excited!<br /><br />Anyway, love that little silver basket! I would have snatched that one up too!<br /><br />Have a wonderful day! <br /><br />Oh, and I have a new giveaway going on!Diann @ The Thrifty Groovehttp://thethriftygroove.blogspot.com/2010/03/blue-mosaic-giveaway-monday.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-86357288712462165212010-03-08T10:25:27.830-06:002010-03-08T10:25:27.830-06:00I love the tarnished silver!!!

You must travel in more exalted circles than I do! :) It was a delight seeing the craftmanship and detail. It's one thing to tour a home that is a "museum" or the home of a once famous person, but it is quite another thing, to see a house of that sort that is still a "home" today. I think I took a seriously wrong turn somewhere in my life!! :)<br /><br />I realized when I saw your post, that you must be a night person like me! I love night people.
