Title: Well, good news!
Post by: ThisNThat on September 27, 2013, 07:15:04 AM
I had come on here a while back with my Duck planter, and was told it wasn't worth much, and were basically a dime a dozen. It was kind of discouraging....... ..but, it ended up selling on Etsy!! I paid $1.00 for it, and it sold for $10, so can't complain!  ;D

Was that the 1960`s planter ?? I thought that is about what I said it might bring ?? Or am I thinking of another one ??

Yep, that's the one!  :) I think others had said $10 was pretty high, and would need a good headwind or tornado.  :D So, I was just happy I sold it for a decent price, and it didn't take long.  :)

I have 3 stores on Etsy, it's not my only item I've sold.  ;) The profit on one item is all that matters......all of the items I sell adds up.  :)

I saw that pic and just got grossed out!  But yes, that size frog!  That one is an African one...saw some large ones in Brazil as well!  BUT, the small poison dart ones are the scariest!

Icedgold10, it is so nice to have you here.  Love the impact you are having on Wullie!  Someone else gets to him and his fingers are getting a great workout.  Right Mart?

By-the-way Wullie, I haven't heard that saying "sampled the heat" in years and years.  Brought back good memories!

The sayings are baffling to me sometimes.  Guess I am a bit literal so I was worrying he put the cat in the stove.  lol  Glad to see that wasn't what he meant.  haha.

There,s no chance of me putting a cat in my woodburner....thats reserved for...old pieces of furniture..that i deem to be past it....and even some pieces that are not....just last year i paid £2 for an 8ft extending dining table...made of oak....."wit a braw heat it gave oot"....and we got 4 days burning oot o, it.... ;D

I dont know what makes me cringe more...the frog pic or the thoughts of you burning some great pieces of furniture!  However, we do want you "sampling" heat on a regular basis in cold Scotland.
