Good luck with the rock hunt. I bet you will find something good, just a feeling!!!

You got lovely bargains as usual! How do you do it? And that flat bottle is CRAZEE, did it MELT??? LOL...

I still can't believe someone stole the pony sculpture, that is just too low for words. Thank goodness you had those good photos of it.
