Had a Beautiful time at the @sffallshow antique sh Had a Beautiful time at the @sffallshow antique show these past couple of Days!
My favorite piece was a painting by an old master!
I asked the price knowing DAM well it was out of my reach and assume the 2.5 was meant to be Millions😩‼️
My Taste Level seems to have stayed the same over the years♥️
I suppose that’s a Good Thing😉
