Ahhh to be wealthy.

Yesterday I found myself entering an estate off of s macdill to take a peek at the 'bargains for the wealthy' advertised by large banners hanging from oak trees at the end of the road. I found myself stopped in my tracks not 20 feet inside the door staring up at a masterfully carved wooly mammoth tusk. A lady waltzed up to me and said "isn't it amazing? they believe its between 16-20 thousand years old." I just wowed. Anyways, I could have touched the beast but didn't feel like it was right, and out of fear of doing something stupid and knocking the work off its stand. It was carved with hundreds of, what looked to me, asian figures that were detailed with some metallic paint. There were also those huge rather large vases that are somewhere near 10 feet high, some of those rather large marble cat statues you find at the doorways of mansions in other countries, countless nice armoires and tables, antique framed family crests, oh geez tons of other stuff I can't remember. It was nuts. Those people were so nice though, Lauren and I clearly did not appear wealthy but they just let us stroll in there and have a little looksyloo. Take that you fucks working at the Georgian antiques place whom watched us like I was to stuff an early 19th century lamp in my handbag.

Anyfuck, I saw this antique cloisonne vase I wanted. It was detaild with a cherry blossom motif. It, however, was 95 dollars and yeah...
