150 Brushes in need of restoration
O.K. Actually it's down to about 144 (give or take).
I had to run to the bank for laundry money earlier and theirs a 2 part antique mall (one part on one side of the street one part on the other) just around the corner. Figured while I was in the neighborhood I'd pop in and see what I could find. Found 2 straights but nothing worth buying. I went across the steet to the other half looking more for a brush handle to work on. After making it almost completely through the store and getting ready to leave I wandered around the last corner and what do I see? A honkin' pile of brushes. picked out a couple but when I got to the front counter I noticed a sign stating $20 minimum on debit/credit. So I went back and picked out a couple more. They had the bucket full on the top shelf and about another 25+/- on a lower shelf but those were all the faux ivory and the prices were a bit higher. When I got to the front counter to pay one of the gals mentioned that the woman who brought the lot in had bought around 150 all in one lot. Except when I look at the website it say's 109 but still, who cares?
