Featured final pick of the year

hi folks

probably my last pick of 2024, £2 in a charity shop today

presuming its a nephrite jade new zealand thing, not sure what the animal is

wanna thank you all for the time and help you've given me this year

been quite a tough one in terms of selling and buying, but i've held my head high and kept myself afloat as a small business buyer/seller and look forward to the new year

love as always

Caspar/ Charlie

 

It's a kiwi bird!

 

ahh, fits in with the new zealand jade then, thanks buddy

 

wonderful sister wendy, one of my all time faves, god bless her

 

and the jade is legit as well..

 

It's a kiwi on kiwi jade. Nice little birdie!

 

Oh I loved Sister Wendy ! I wept when I heard she had died . She could not only describe art in relatable terms, she could help you really SEE it . I look at it this way Charlie,2024 has SUCKED so 2025 has got to be better !

 

I would like to say my best find this year is the observations I have made over the years from this group- kindness from fellow members living in this world today it is so refreshing , the humor that is shared & read that is a great mood lifter when you really need it. The friendships that have formed within our community that are heartfelt & so endearing along with the care & goodness when one of us is struggling that is given from the heart with follow up conversations with meaning not with empty words , the advice & solutions given with an off the beaten path questions ranging from things that are personal or how do I remove something, the excitement when we log on knowing fabulous things have been posted or even when the ugliest thing is posted. The safety in knowing we have a beautiful community here with our moderators keeping us in line & always have our backs. I am thrilled & honored to be part of this little community that is beloved by us that when it was down we all kind of were lost with some of us in a panic. May next year bring even better finds & stronger bonds. Wishing all a very happy holiday & an even better Nee Year.

 

Well said Nana !

 

Just looked up the post I made Christmas 2018 about Sister Wendy passing away. I am flabbergasted when scrolling back about all the posts and items I have commented on and have completely forgotten about.

 

Oh Nana now you made me need the tissues.
