sign.It's a rainy Saturday morning,I make a few turns and stop at this house.
I walked in and almost fainted.I am not kidding.It looked like Versailles.Floor to ceiling oil paintings,tapestry's,Louis XVI everything.Dresden,Meissen,.. oh my.
I wondered into a castle.I had to know who this person was. Her name was Vera Gajitch.
When I returned home I immediately had to "google" her.I learned she was originally from Yugoslavia.She came to the US with very little except her talent.Vera was an artist. A very well known one.The linens and textiles designed by "Vera" that are now so collectible,that was her.Widowed and no children she left her estate to the Catholic Church.Some items are worthy of a museum and a hefty price was deserved.
Out of respect,I did not take any other photo's.
I purchased a huge textile from Italy that I will photograph when I return home.
Several animated vintage Christmas people.Beautiful mother of pearl flatware set,wine glasses and a carved wood shield.The passion for life this extraordinary woman had was truly breath taking.I consider this the most incredible "Garage Sale" I have ever been to, or ever will see again.One word.... Amazing !!!!!
Here's to you Vera,
XO
