Pretty impressive!...:-)
Superb!!!
I had never seen this type of style until recently on CW from AmberRose, so nice to have the history too! :-)
Many thanks mustangtony, justanovice, miKKo and inky too!
Many thanks Phil and eye4 too!
WOW!!!!! Love it.
Sweet , love this beautiful candlestick:)
I want it so much!
It's great to see an 8 ringer! They are rarer as they are more prone to being knocked over & breaking so look after it!
I also love FESTIVOS.
By the way, in Spanish "Festivo" can mean a holiday -just a day- or be the adjective for "fiesta".
I am soooooooooo jealous!!!! So very lovely! I will find one someday!!!
Green. Green. Green.

Hi Tony Vinnies is the franchised (?) arm of the St Vincent de Paul Society.
Many thanks bratjdd!
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the note. The St. Vincent de Paul here is also excellent. We have the Salvation Army and Goodwill in Hyannis,( the next town over ),
both have been an excellent source of amazing things, and I've made some very nice friends. Of late I've been shopping more around Buzzard's Bay, about a 25 minute drive. I go with the secretary from work, we lunch next to the canal there,( Thai food :), and then I share as much as I know,( not much :), perusing the many thrift shops in the area.
Sorry for going on.
I pray that all is well,
T
Not at all, happy hunting!
im sorry to hear that:) were going through a dry spell here:)
Many thanks Mac63! I'm sorry Manikin, I missed you! many thanks yet again!
