Sometimes you win, sometimes you wonder why you bought it!!

 

                                                                     
     Pat here!!  I'm the first to admit that I don't know that much about certain items such as glassware, ceramics, rugs, paintings, etc.  Well, actually, I don't know much about a lot of stuff, but my friend/fellow picker Judy does.  She has been a picker for many years and is well read on most items.  So when I saw an opportunity to buy a box of stemware I immediately got Judy in on the deal.  It was beautiful stemware and glasses and Judy felt sure we would get our money back plus a profit.  As she dug through the box, she also found quite a few dolls under the glassware.  The owner at first said the dolls were not included, but he backed down when Judy said "No deal without the dolls!"  And so we became the proud owners of a box of glassware and unknown dolls.  The glassware is still in question as to its value, however, here are some pictures of the dolls--you be the judge!
                                                  Here are the lovely 'treasures' in a basket


                                                   This is probably the best one of the bunch

                                                          This poor doll had no arms!!!

         

I didn't even include the picture of the doll with just wires for legs!!  So, this is a lesson well learned---always, always, always check your merchandize before you buy it because you just might end up with an armless doll!!  Until our next adventure, God Bless!!!
