      Good afternoon! I am pretty sure this is from Sweden but can not remember by whom!!! Just another frustrating moment...haha I'm going to check that for you...I'll be back.
    5. shareurpassion shareurpassion, 8 years ago
      LOL!!! I went to check and came back to look at the bird again... I didn't even see what you had written about the, well you know! Our little secret! Rose is in on it for sure! ;) One more time...I'll be back. OMG you know I just couldn't resist that before!

      Couldn't find your bird but I found a cool looking horse!

      Honestly, I think that the main thing when you find them is to just be careful that you don't bring home one that's been chipped. Make sure you have touched the whole piece. That's really the worst to find afterwards, it will haunt you!

      I'm looking for an orca and you will see why when I do find it ;)

      And just one more thing...Murano does have a site where it shows a lot of their works. If you can, study it a bit so that when you go out there and see one, you will know it! Unfortunately with me, nah...it just doesn't happen that easy. I get out there and can't remember my last name! But seriously, I have found myself being more careful which in turn, gives my temples a break...LOL!

      Shareurpassion!!!!! Lol
      Thanks for the advice !!
      Believe me when I say I really Studdy things on the web , I also pick up and handle things in antique shops and when I see a bit of something I like I still can't remember my name either!!! Lol
      I'm not bad with English things but lost with foreign sometimes!!
      Thanks for your love and laughter ..

      You are very welcome! What do you mean you're not bad at solid silver? That means you can spot it? It's funny how instinct takes over at times. I was at an estate sale and there was the most awesome desk there, you had to pull out two square pieces to open it and once you did, there were all kinds of neat compartments, a pull out table, hidden areas and it was all carved by hand. It was absolutely gorgeous. I could have picked it up for 250.00 and wanted to but just couldn't do that...I soon found out that it was worth well over 3g! I just didn't have anywhere to put it, not even to store it until I sold it mostly because I picked up a desk that I do love BUT in order to even get it in my house, I had to completely take out the whole window to get it inside!!! Yea, and I bought that to sell it too! In fact, when they put it in, they put it in the wrong room!!! It's really a beauty tho and I wouldn't know what to do with everything if I didn't have it. I'll see if I can get it cleared off and post it...that may take a year or so!!! Do not hold your breath ;)

      P.S. That was a result of misled instinct by the way!!!
