Beautiful! Congrats on the great stuff.

Good grief those are big pictures! - sorry about that

Wow, D! Awesome finds, right up my Folk Art lovin’ alley. And that William H Johnson!😍

Thanks for showing us! So glad you found these treasures.

Oh I love everyone. I’d have them on my dark green kitchen wall all of them. lucky you

Wow- that is a magnicent haul!

I'm with C. I love each and every one.

Thanks all - it was a fun day and all for <200 - maybe not Nicole bargain worthy but pretty good!

Glad you are enjoying what you scored.

You did very well todayn Isn’t it funny the quirk of fate of seeing the sale notice and having time to go and then actually finding things that are wonderful and make you— and someone else— very happy

Nice!

I especially like those last 2 🙂

wonderful! what fun. And it's so nice that they found someone to love them, pardon the anthropomorphization.

Amazing score! I believe the "skin" is actually amate paper made from tree bark by Otomi artisans. Probably more than you would ever want to know in this link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amate

@ljwrar - 3 of them (the small colorful Ecuadorian ones) I am now certain are sheepskin but the ink one is probably that type of paper. Thanks for that link - very interesting!

Great haul! Such interesting, in a good way, pieces too.

@Allison0704 I like that *in a good way* ! Art is so personal and what appeals to one can be a yawn or a head scratcher to another. My MIL would buy *art* or decorative knick knacks for me, present them at Xmas and it was always uncomfortable. The obligation it presented along with being completely oblivious to my taste highlighted our differences. That's why I sent pics and called my DIL - she has been honest about not liking things (other than art, like clothes or jewelry) in the past. When she likes something she lights up. I enjoy all kinds of art but things with a global feel have always caught my eye. I think it was cultivated in my teen hippie days!

Love all of these so much!

Wow! Those are some great finds!

Wow, I love it all too. Lucky day!

Love them all! You did great. I can’t speak for Nicole, but I think she woukd agree that’s quite a bargain.

Definitely a haul, love the art you found. Agree on buying art, decor and "knick knacks" for others, I just don't do it without checking.

Love them all but especially the young woman with the flowers. You did very well.

Why am I not lucky like this?

You’re a good MIL, DLM2000!

@dedtired I just don't share about how many sales I go to and walk out empty handed!

So good! Enjoy your haul.

@DLM2000-GW You described my previous nightmare. I never liked opening gifts in front of anyone. I don't even like getting gifts! Probably due to the fact I HATE surprises.

Isn't it fun to find something for your DIL? I do similar when I see something I think DD2 would like - send her photo and hope to hear back while still in there..She usually says yes. It is almost always something I would like to buy for myself, but have nowhere for it. So I get to enjoy when I am staying at her house. LOL

@mnzinnia that's a wonderful piece and I love your name - perfect! I can't believe you chanced leaving it there - the gods were with you that it not only hadn't sold but was 50%! I have way too many experiences with the opposite happening.

You found some wonderful pieces and could already picture them (so to speak) in a setting, that makes them just right. I have a friend who goes to estate sales every weekend, it is her and her husband’s fun-together outing, and she has given me some perfect bits of art and objets.

I love all of your finds, @DLM2000-GW.
