2-medusas – old or new Fenton or both? Colors? Patterns? What kind of Christmas ornaments? WoW! at 800 pairs of S&P!
dark_zorse – cool stuff! I esp. like the mule deer mount…he looks like he is about to wink at the camera. lol
Dracomancer – Fossils are so cool, aren’t they? 15 cats – wahoo! 😀
Mostly newer Fentons and mostly the cute little animal type but I do have a few very nice baskets and a good assortment of shoes.
I’ve got an awfully long way to go in order to catch the Guinness world record of 5000 pair of S&P
The ornaments I like are OOAK and “different”. My Christmas Tree is getting more and more Eclectic–just like me! 😆You know you are addicted to Windstones when you Never balance your checkbook Before Checking the newest listings! 😆
Purple!!
That is just way too much excitement! Glad you and yours are all OK now!
If it was kids that set the fire, I sure hope they catch them!I’m pretty sure that these were about $30 brand new maybe a bit more. If you could fix them and get a discount on the shipping then it might be a good deal. They sure looked pretty once upon a time…
😆
My family says that I collect ‘Collections’!It’s really not that bad–
Windstones
Breyers
Hagen Renaker Little Horribles (33, so far, out of the original 49 issued!)
General Hagen Renakers
Wee Forest Folks
Harmony Kingdom
Fenton
Sun turned purple glass

And last but not least
Salt and Pepper shakers, ~800 pairs, so far!😯
Dear Maebnus3,I used to work in Quality/Document Control for a service oriented company in Silicon Valley. I negotiated many customer service disputes.
I would–
Open a Dispute with ebay IMMEDIATELY! Do not write to the seller directly, communicate only through the ebay dispute process. Cut and paste all of the previous messages between you and seller in the dispute description.
State ALL facts as short and to the point as possible. Even though you really really want to say something reflecting on the seller’s lack of intelligence or common sense, do not! If they resort to personal jabs, it will only reflect on them poorly, let it go, stay to the facts.
This is a high ticket item, clearly not packaged appropriately and just as clearly, entirely the seller’s fault. State that you shall only accept a full refund, including shipping. Decline to send the item back to them unless they are willing to pay ALL shipping charges. The item is no longer worth the cost of shipping it anywhere. (Later if you want it repaired, that’s not their concern).
Good Luck! Feel free to PM me, I hope this helps!Shoot! I just checked and apparently someone, obviously not part of the Forum, wrote the seller informing her of the error and now it is posted for all to see.
😮 😀
I am SO glad I found and joined this Forum!! Thank you! Made my day! Of course, I had never heard of these little surprises. So I got out my Mama Griffin and my flashlight and EEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! I found them, what fun!! Happy Day!!!
Just like I keep telling my family, Windstones are the best “Therapy” for the money!!I like the pencil work, excellent detail. But the one that got me was the photo. Most people don’t understand that true photography is an Art and like all Art you have to have skill and talent and what ever that “something else” is, an understanding.
Good Job!Kyrin wrote:That’s good to hear. Bad to hear he may have diabetes on top of everything else. Hopefully he can get a transplant soon.
As to your question about whether its right to bring a child into this, knowing his/her father might not be in their life long. Think of it this way, it is no different than the risks anyone else takes when they choose to have a child. You never know what will happen, there could be a car accident, or sudden illness that can take a parent away.
You both wanted this child, and this child will be loved. And when the time does come for your husband to leave you, you will always have that beautiful little person to remember him by, they represent all the love you two have shared and you will always have that.
When it comes time to tell your family, be firm. Tell them you don’t want to hear anything negative about this child. That you and your husband knew what you were doing, and that you both wanted this child very much, regardless of what may happen in the future. You are living for now. You are an adult, and this is your life.
Tell your mom the same thing I told mine. This is my life, these are my choices, and I don’t expect you to approve of my choices, all I ask is that you accept them. And respect my right to make my own decisions. I also told her that if she couldn’t accept my choices, then I would step out of her life.
Accepting isn’t the same as approving, you don’t really need their approval, though it would be nice, all you really need is for them to accept your choices, and to be as supportive as they can.
If they can’t be loving, and supportive, then you don’t need them. Blood relatives or not.
You have friends here, and we will do what we can to help be as emotionally supportive as we can throughout all this.

Right On, Kyrin!! You stated the Truth Perfectly.
Purple, if you get a chance, print out Kyrin’s message and read it whenever you need a boost. You have lots of Family out here!
