this is the probably the best buy i ever made...it was in a box of pictures at an auction....luckily i had studied enough not to sell it for 2$...and we kept it...... when jon was little a guy offered us 5,000 for it and we said no.really suprising jon....it wasnt about the money to us.....we were so poor then back in the good old days..... its a fractur....a handpainted picture from 1801....30 yrs later we sold it to help buy our cottage ..and it brought about what the guy offered us......dang i miss that picture...
OOPS..dh says i forgot my best buy ever , so far... ....it was a cubs program from the year they won the world series..1908 ?.. ......i bought a pile of paper for i think $200, from one of my customers and brought the baseball stuff in to dh...he loves baseball......that brought about 10,000 at a new york auction......also into the cottage fund....

I think selling the sign for a cottage was probably a great idea. I know what you mean about parting with something you really love. I had a cherub lamp I bought from you, and to this day I regret selling it. Love your signs, great job!
I think you made a great choice in buying a cottage. I do know what you mean about parting with something that you really loved. I had purchase a vintage cherub lamp from you and to this day I regret selling it. Love your signs, great job!
Selling the sign for a cottage was meant to be, you held onto it for just the right amount of time and benefited from your keepsake. Thank you for sharing
