Holy crap! Is there a possibility they can be *gulp* stolen??!! 😯 I know it is unlikely, but maybe the owner is away for an extended time period and her house was invaded? Maybe in the process of moving to explain the boxes so lovingly packed? I would hang on to these beauties for a while, just to make sure that is not the case. I know I would be DEVASTATED if my Windstones were taken while I was still alive!
To paraphrase Charleton Heston: “They’ll have to pry them from my cold, dead fingers!”
In all seriousness, the shop owner’s behavior makes me feel like something STINKS 👿 about this whole deal!
You are so sweet, Aetharia for making such an effort to find out about the owner. Don’t let that nasty lady ruin your day!
Quote:The important thing for all of us to remember, is that this person’s things were found and they weren’t just discarded. That one of us actually spent the money and time to gather this poor soul’s belongings and bring them home.
I am sure she would be thrilled that we are all thinking about her and that the pieces she lovingly collected will be taken care of. Also that her passing has helped the life of another collector.
Her pieces will live on as a legacy and she will be remembered. Even if we never find out who she was….she will be remembered. That is the beautiful thing about this forum.
We CARE about each other! So no matter what we find out….at least her treasured possessions will end up being cared for, by people with the same love.
Well said, Keschete! It looks like she left a legacy that can possibly be enjoyed by many people just like her. If she was a Forum member (or even if she wasn’t), she will be remembered fondly. I hope we can find out who she was, so we can honor her properly.
It breaks my heart to think that a family though so little of grandma’s treasures that they “dumped” them at an antique shop. She obviously loved collecting them, and took great care of them till the end.
I know that my family doesn’t appreciate my pretties too much, but at least my kids know how much they mean to me. In the event of my untimely demise, they will be keeping a few of their favorites and EBaying the rest so they can find good homes. It makes me sick to think that they would end up broken and forgotten in someone’s basement, and I know they would get wonderful homes with other Forum members. I am sure she is smiling right now knowing they will be cherished by people as in love with them as she obviously was. I hope we can identify her so we can remember her as a truly remarkable person and collector.
Just my .02.
I hope that made sense, I am really tired and sad right now… 😥 Gotta go blow my nose and go to bed now.
Quote:Just want to add my .02 that she was a wonderful seller to work with. I purchased a ruby male from her a couple weeks ago and everything went smooth. She’s very nice, and packs those pieces up like Ft.Knox!
I second that .02! Everything was perfect! 😀 😀 😀
Erie, as in PA? I will be there Mother’s day weekend, but I am sure that will be too late! 😥
It will probably smell like tobacco though, won’t it?
Anyway, that was so nice of you to post it! 😀
Thanks!
I would be happy to help you, especially since you gave some of my peacocks such a good home. Tell them I said hi, will ya? 😀
Good luck, and I hope you find some fantastic deals!
Blessings,
Lourdes
Dang. Missed ’em 😥 😥 😥
Hopefully the next batch will hit at the right time for me to catch one…
Congrats to all who got theirs! How many were there originally, I wonder?
Happy belated birthday, Mimi. I didn’t realize our birthdays were so close. Hope it was wonderful!
😀 😀 😀
Quote:Happy Birthday girl!! Do you get ‘combined’ presents for Christmas and your Birthday?
No, thank goodness; and get this: My anniversary is Dec 15th, so that’s one more thing for my poor hubby to stress about! 😯
If we had to do it over, we would have gotten married in some other month!
Anyway, thanks everyone!
I got lots of snow for my bday…
Drools…
Thank goodness they will be regular production, because there is no way I can afford one now. Thanks for the heads up! 😀
I have a few of those pieces you are looking for. Do you have anything else to trade? I am really interested in any emperors you may have, or any of the golds.
Thanks and good luck!
Well, since no one else offered anything higher, the hatching emperor goes to…
sapphire!
I hope to work out the shipping this week, and he will be on his way home soon! Woo hoo! 😀 😀
Thank you so much everyone, and keep watching Ebay in case I ever get a few moments to post a couple more.
Still haven’t decided whether I am going to sell my old green fledgie and curlie… 😯 I know I will kick myself if I do, but…
