Estate Sale at Collinwood!
« on: May 11, 2002, 02:15:42 AM »
The Collins family descendants are having an estate sale! Now's your chance!

Sadly, someone has already snagged Josette's music box - probably Maggie Evans - and Barnabas' portrait.

I'll have to settle for the portrait of Jeremiah Collins. Even though it looks nothing like Anthony George, it's still a staple of the series, hanging over the fireplace in the drawing room for lo these many years.

I'll also be snapping up a few of those antique table lamps. Very decorative. And if it's not too pricey, I think I might buy that Sword display on the wall - the one Quentin grabbed for that time he knocked over and broke the table lamp.

Everything is up for grabs - but first come, first serve! Old House furnishings must go as well. What will you take away???
;D

Ohhhhh, I would just love to have the bedroom set from Josette's room in the old house! Hmmm, may have to pick up an afghan for the couch too.

Gimme the Naga box. That snake pattern would really complement our decor. And if we get a heavy breathing thing behind a door in the bargain, we'll be in seventh heaven.

I'll take the crystal chandelier from the old house. You never know when you might need to hypnotize someone.  ;D

I will take anything that Harry Johnson left at Collinwood, he did after all make a rather abrupt disappearance, and Mrs. Johnson has to clean out that room.

So much!!!

I will take Barnabas' cane! That baby is mine! I also want that decanter that Roger used... often.

I also want that telephone that was used to talk to Quentin.. and lets not leave his staircase... that one can use to travel though time.... or actually I guess that was taken apart after it was last used.

I was interested in Barnabas' coffin.... but I am afraid that someday he may want that back... and I rather not be any where near if he does.
