<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 8404014, member: 36"]Went into the Ill Will today because it's Senior Day, and I also had my Birthday discount to use if I could find anything to buy. Surprised myself I did. First was a Nautica Home plastic lemonade set, unused. A signed duck decoy, hand carved and pretty local. A small bluebonnet art photo that I didn't photograph - the frame was original but the combo was a horror. Gave them a divorce soonest. Then a vase I didn't buy (crystal, but sold on QVC. Too new.), and then...jackpot. A LLadro figurine in a fresh bin. Someone else had gotten there first and found a bunch for her mother. There were two she didn't see, but I did. Handed her a butterfly she'd missed, because why not. Then on the shelf...painted metal doggie, Polish pottery vase, a little figurine worth more than the dollar they had on her, and a little pottery rabbit whatsit holding a frog. Wooden dala horse, but blue. </p><p><br /></p><p>The whatsit is a whatsit. The girl turned out to be Royal Doulton from the 50s. The dog...got him home and hoped, and found the mark. I never thought I'd see that mark in person. Bergman bronze. Their price? $1!!!! and I got 25% off. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]427237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]427238[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]427239[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
