zigafoose Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Its a nice collection. Just hope its not for sale due to unfortunate circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 no unfortunate circumstances. thank goodness. the gentleman they belong to is in his 90's, and is now in assisted living. his son and he were there the entire time, and all agreed it was time for someone else to enjoy them! good cirumstances! ps. still sorting! I can't find the living room, dining room or kitchen either! we've enlisted some extra helping hands, and they are slowly coming along. Nothing like emptying a jar of vitro and marble kings etc and have a gooseberry roll out. LOL! So we have to be careful and make sure something doesn't just 'roll' by.

zaboo Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 lol. I have sold about 95% of it, during the summer. i am not really listing right now, just helping my daughter list mostly. HOWEVER, if anyone has a want list, or need a Christmas present, I do lots of things privately,, just give me a yell, maybe i can help. :-) Rylee, I can't begin to tell you how much work that was. it was truly a labor of love. but it was fun too!
