<p>[QUOTE="Brenda Anna, post: 146838, member: 1778"]Most things eventually do go the way of the auction. I recently sold a vase my mom had, a piece I thought she had purchased in an antique store. It was hand painted mercury glass and too fragile and delicate to be placed anywhere but a very secure cabinet. After I had sent it off, I found a paper that said it had been a wedding gift to my great grandmother from her grandmother. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ah well... At least whoever bought it will love it. And it would be far more heartbreaking if it broke under my care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
