I still have Goosebumps!!! The Motherload.

Last night I had closed the store for the night
 and Carol my neighbor was over visiting with Phil and I.

the phone rang and it was this man wanting to sell me stuff
you
know how these calls go ,
I'm moving, I have to get rid of this stuff.....
so when he got to the house
I opened the first box and this glass is what I saw.

So without looking at anything else I offered him a price on all of it.
a low price because it was late and I told him it's a gamble for me
take it or leave it.

He said you haven't looked through the boxes
I said I know but I don't have time.
it was making me nervous because he kept asking me about cash
I said I don't keep alot of cash.

so they took the money and left and as he was leaving he said
I have more old stuff from my Grandma.
I politely said No thank you.

I'm an idiot!
as I was opening all the boxes I was
screaming with excitement
under the layers of filth
were these exquisite treasures...

Look at the amount of lovelies

German,French, Prussia, Austria and Japan

Fine bone china from England

Look at the detail of these.

the kids love this tea cup

Look at this glass bowl

I love these hand painted blue pieces.

these plates were so beautiful.

A little Norman

and more

More....

What else did he have...

I may just have to check my caller I.d.

what a score

and

a blessed gift!
