she said Role...as an actor in a play.....or play on words.....

or she just spelled roll wrong......

either way .....have a seat........the show's about to start !

 

I don't care.
I like hard rolls with butter.

 

I meant roll. Actually, I didn't know it was roll and not role.
Pinche Ingles.

 

Ever had hardtack King..........no not heart attack !!!

 

I sense ribaldry.

 

No. Unlike you I didn't serve under Nelson.

 

I knew zat.
Roll was correct as used.

 

When I serve a roll , it's always....above board.

 

Attended an estate auction. Purchased a 15 gallon McCoy crock, really heavy ...... I must have lost my marbles to buy something so big and bulky. I really like it; but what was I thinking?

Also got some Roseville & Hull Pottery for a fantastic price! Here is quick picture of the Roseville (Donatello jardinière and 2 hanging baskets).

 

It had to happen eventually. I went out early this morning and...bingo. A small amount of scrap gold, Hopi sterling earrings, a Renoir copper bracelet, and some tiny little tortoiseshell kiddie size bracelets that tonight bet up with some of the freshwater "rice" pearls from the scrap metal. Some crystal beads jumped in too. Added ear hooks and ... voila.

 

Are those vintage pool of lights? 1.5 pair? Coral necklace? the hoops are gorgeous!

 

Dichroic glass; pools of light are banded orbs of rock crystal. These are just blobs of mass-produced Chinese glass. The coral is legit and has a 14k clasp on it. That was a surprise.

 

Got this too. Hull Art Pottery. These used to sell for $50-60 ten years ago and nowadays you can't give them away. I got this piece for $7.50 with a bunch of other junk. Guess I'll hold onto it for a while and hope the market recovers somewhat.

 

Here's somebody who's looking for 40!

Maybe the worm is turning!

 

Hmmm. I hope so. I've been buying art pottery heavily in the past few years whenever I see it at rock bottom prices. Built up a nice collection that should be worth more than I paid.

 

I SO hope it looks up!

 

just have to find the right buyer

 

Found some coin today at a big chain thrift store in a junk bag for $2.99. Sunday is typically a terrible day for picking at this store.

 

If I saw them at a thrift (or anywhere else) it's very unlikely I'd recognize them for what they are.
