Rare Peter Paul Rubens Painting Found in Raleigh, Cary, Apex Area Garage Sale!

Yes folks, it's true. Yesterday, after a long and successful day of showing homes to my buyers, I decided to stop in at some local Raleigh, Cary, Apex area garage sales. I'm always on the hunt for old Blues CD's, various collectibles, and just a good deal on anything that I might need.

By the way, if anyone out there has a copy of Robert Nighthawk's "Live on Maxwell Street" or Muddy Waters' "Live at Newport" CD, please contact me!


Anyway, before I get off track here...


Yesterday, I came across a rare painting by the inimitable 17th century Baroque painter, Peter Paul Rubens.


And while the original might be hanging in the National Gallery in London, this rare and priceless find is now hanging in my home!

How is that for cool?  I am sure you didn't have to pay the real price tag...you gonna get it appraised?  Insured?  :-)

Craig, now don't you look all comfy-cozy in the arms of that lovely Baroque lady...I could go on, but I won't and I'm sure you're happy about it.  Anyway, I myself have been live on Maxwell Street in Chicago many, many times, saw lots of street performers...saw Magic Slim once...wish it was still there or at least the way it was back in the 60's early 70's.  Nighthawk has got to be a tough one to find.

Kristin - This guy never pays retail! So, yes, of course I didn't pay the real price tag!

Richard - And about a believable as chicken lips!

Anita - That's me! Mr. Informed!

Sharon - Exactly! You have to get up pretty early in the morning to find rarities like this at garage sales!

John - I did! That's how I came up with this blog!

Nick - Magic Slim and the Teardrops! Excellent! That dude can play the Blues!

Gay - Plastic? Plastic? That's a rare carved out of granite Realtor Craig statue she's holding!

Larry & Sheila - Speaking of rare finds...

Ancient Greek Sculpture Found in the Raleigh, Cary, Apex Area!!!

 

Nick - Well, I could act surprised and tell you that I've never heard that one before, but that just wouldn't be right. But it's obvious from listening to it why I want/ NEED that CD! Great stuff for sure! So soulful.
