I can just imagine how heart throbbing it was to go thru that bidding process, when you had all that emotion and sentimental attachment to it...sometimes I get so excited when I am bidding on something I really want, I literally hold my breath. But it was fate, and the right person who TRULY understood its meaning won the bid (you!) and the universe is now all right again. I am sure your Uncle is smiling down on you right now!The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-48661593910161276802009-05-20T03:19:37.296-05:002009-05-20T03:19:37.296-05:00Oh, that's a fabulous find!Oh, that's a fabulous find!The Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14777144773315110838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-66768293793627552852009-05-19T22:42:21.504-05:002009-05-19T22:42:21.504-05:00I'm so glad you got it---yeahI'm so glad you got it---yeahJewelhttp://jewelgems.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-64874183473316114692009-05-19T21:46:41.442-05:002009-05-19T21:46:41.442-05:00We are so happy for you Far Side.
