Who remembers who these guys are?( one of my favorite books! as a child )

I love your whimsical displays and “Wind in the Willows,” was one of my favorites too. This certainly made me smile. Thank you.

Is there a designated marble company for Thursday’s? Thank you.

MK Monday♥   I have tried very hard to take pictures of this MK Painted Turtle, it is by far the hardest marble to try and capture it's beauty! hope you enjoy! Have a great week♥

That is absolutely fabulous.

Really glad I learned the proper pronunciation, I was calling it Cairo, as in Cairo, Egypt! Loved the video.

I started buying on eBay because I thought you had a guarantee, that is not the case. If a seller does not accept returns, you have to go through a long process to get absolutely nothing done. I know some reputable sellers like Cedarman 7 (Lee) and Bob Block. Thanks to what I have learned from all of the seasoned collectors here, I cannot thank you all enough. This is more of a rant/rave. I’m ranting about unsavory sellers on eBay or feebay as it’s popularly known and raving about all of the great people/collectors that I have had the pleasure to meet on this forum. You all have taught me so much and still I have so much to learn. Collecting in the wild is the way to go. You never know when you will find a gem. I admire the years of hard research and the digging of sites likes Pennsboro and WVRON, Steph and Chad G., whom I admire so very much. You all are an inspiration and I thank you all for that. You all are preserving history and passing it along to younger collectors, that is admirable. Others I do not know personally, my hat is off to you all for continuing to pass along valuable information to us newbies. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is indeed a privilege to be in your company and learn so much.

A few, I treasure these mibs above all the rest, given as gifts by people who consider me a friend and thought enough of me to send a little surprise. These will never leave my collection at any price !! The beat up blue slag was given to me when I was 10 years old by my Mother, my first marble, kept on a high-rise acrylic stand in a special place on the top shelf of my best curio. I have many, many Jabo's all given to me by a very good friend, all hand picked as the best they had, first ones I ever had all came as gifts, some fantastic people, among the best and closest friends I have, "Marble Friends are the Best Friends"  

 

 

What nice marbles, you deserve them!

I have so many.  

In 2104, these marbles showed up in a box on my porch with a fake name as the return address.  I suspect Mike Barton was involved in the surprise.    He was quick to make sure I saw the "blue base pearlescent patch" in this picture, and in later years he would refer a couple of times to how good I know he is at keeping secrets.  I could only guess he was talking about this one. 
 

You deserve it Steph for all of the hard work you do. You are a treasure indeed. 

All of the marbles I posted for ID yesterday and this morning were gifted to me when I was ill. Thank you Mr. King.

In 2019, I got this brilliant advent calendar from so many of our marble friends here, some named, some secret, with a compartment of marbles  to open each day leading up to Christmas.

And  many more  treasures along the way.  I have much to bump this thread with.   Some of my first gifts came from Carole Shockley and Diane Wise (forum name Dejapa), who both have passed on.  

 

What a wonderful gift!
