hi guys -- just wanted to wish you all a happy holiday -- so i used maybelle and the beach kids as an excuse -- maybelle & the kids are one of the the most rarest of the florence ceramic figurines and both rarely seen -- it would appear that they have set the bar for price -- doug foland got the beach kids -- he was out of town on christmas vacation -- so i sniped them for him -- he called and said we did not win them and i said oh yes you did doug -- you bleed threw the nose but they are yours and so they should be as he started the fire with the 1st book on florence ceramics
enough said -- again wishing you all the very best in this and the coming years in all of your business endeavors, good health & happiness
ted & autumn (aka epson233)
Beautiful figurines, the lady with basket is lovely and the beach kids in vintage clothing are charming
thank you newfld -- interesting on that glaze that florence used on the beach kids -- in natural day light they are a rich deep brown in other lighting they show purple -- it is like the optic glass that i have on some of my glassware -- guess it is a go figure this one out -- here is an interest brain teaser -- do you know what a dead mans hand is in poker -- i did not -- but it involves wild bill hickok -- when he was shot in the back of the head he was holding 2 black aces and 2 black eights and the queen of hearts -- which his family says the queen still has his blood on the card -- they perhaps need to do a DNA test -- but it got me to do some learning and ordered the book via amazon wild bill hickok: the prince of pistoleers -- i am an avid reader so will look forward to that book coming in -- my husband and i always play kings in the corner with the old farts as i call them at peets coffee shop
well enough -- thank you for loving it
