I wish I could, would love the Waterford stems. What is the handbag next to the Hermes? My baby would love that LV doggy tote. Lol! It would be great to find a sale like this where I am located. :sad:
We have sales like that all the time (you just have to live in a super affluent area and pay ridiculously outrageous rent). There are about 5 different companies in town that do those Estate Sales. One of them has a huge warehouse full of stuff (way over the top and way overpriced). The guy who owns one of the Antique Collectives used to do sales all the time, when the kids had taken what they wanted, sold the house (usually for several million dollars) and they wanted the rest of the stuff gone. We would walk out with hundreds of dollars of stuff and he'd charge like $5. All the local "dealers" lived off those sales. He moved to Texas last year, still owns the store, but they have very few sales. They were FUN!!!!
 
I love going into antique, charity, pawn and similar shops - you can find so interesting items there. Here what I recently found:

I was the first one in the closet this morning and the first one with their hand on those bags. The orange one was gone and the other two were fake. The LV's were authentic and priced as such... Entire sale was basically retail or higher prices.
