One was not too far from me in a neighborhood called Sauganash. Another was in Lake Forest. I arrived at Sauganash first, but there was a long line in since the sale went viral via a loud mouth real estate agent so I drove to Lake Forest. The Lake Forest sale was crap. I went there because I thought they would have this Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami wallet from the early 00s that I always wanted as a kid. I get to the estate sale and the wallet was there, but it was fake af. Cracked and peeling. Real LV just doesn’t do that. I’ve had mine since 2016 and use it every damn day and it still looks new inside. All the handbags and scarves were fake. There were a few nice statues, but that was it. The old lady who was Greek had a fur coat naturally and it fit me, but it was an old style and it would cost me money to restyle and the agents were jerks there so I didn’t feel like spending $300 on it. I then went to the Sauganash sale. This one was unbelievable. I thought I had a lot of crap at home. I am a minimalist compared to this lady. I can see why her family had to have an estate sale after she died. It would have taken months to go through that stuff. There was so much stuff, even so many unopened things. She had bags too and all the bags were unfortunately fake. For some reason many silent generation and early boomer women didn’t buy as many designer things as women buy today unless you of course went to Elizabeth Taylor’s estate sale lol. However, old people do have great household stuff. My mom bought this designer espresso set made in France. I found a few vintage Barbies. Then today I went back because half off of everything. I bought these three oil paintings. Sure these aren’t like museum quality, but they are still hand made by local artists and not prints and it’s still pretty pricy to buy paintings. My favorite is the one of the woman. It’s so detailed IRL. Paintings sometimes get overlooked at estate sales because people are too busy looking at the clothes and costume jewelry. People also don’t know where to put paintings in their home. Looking for jewelry is useless sometimes. The families usually already take all the gold. Anyway I’ve never seen this much stuff in my life. This lady threw out nothing. I saw her obituary. She was a pretty lady. She only lived until 79 sadly. Her last name was Abraham so some sort of Middle Eastern I assume. Her husband had an Italian surname Stefani. I bought a tea pot too. She had like 20 of them!!! I regret not grabbing some of her big planters. Some other people took them. I personally would never hold an estate sale for my loved ones. I wouldn’t want strangers going through the stuff of my family, but with the Sauganash lady, I think the family had no choice because she simply had too much stuff.

The amount of stuff these women have that they never opened is insanity! Shopping may give a high, but then where does this stuff end up? Craziness.
