Appreciate the special significance of Easter

Good Morning, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

My apologies for not writing a post yesterday; however, we were experiencing 'internet' connection / difficulties throughout most of the day. Computer was finally operational in the evening. Since, it had been a full bittidz day as well, I thought it best to call it a night.

We have done everything to be 'prepped' for next week. As some of you may know, we have been working steadfastedly towards fruition of our business projects. It has taken a lot longer, however, since it is a significant Weekend, we are going to appreciate the meaningfulness of Easter.

The Memorial Service for our family friend, is tomorrow; and it is just so sad. The police are not providing any details at this time. I can appreciate that tidbitz tight-lipped sentiment; and our hearts are with the family. May we all have 'courage' on Saturday to 'celebrate' her life. Both Alan and I believe that our friend is in 'GOOD company'; particularly at this historical time of year - Easter.

As mentioned in earlier / recent posts, I am offering our Collection of Lady Head Vases (collected since 1991) to those who would appreciate a few Ladies and / or a collection; or perhaps parts of the collection. I will be fair with the prices; and yet at the same time, I will not be 'ground down' to unreasonable offers; because these Ladies are worthy investments.

Have also been offered some excellent tidbit advice from a highly regarded Lady Head Vase Collector; which is, not to 'give' them away. Am very grateful for her 'generosity of spirit'; along with her encouraging and wise suggestions for me. I sincerely believe that the true value (prices) will go back up; however, when the economy has stabilized. I also enjoy some 'favourites'; some of which are extra special, and those may be sold, however, for their full price. Ultimately, our display cabinets will house antiques that are presently 'roughing it' in our garage and enclosed cupboards. LOL!

Also, have a wonderful friend, who has an awesome collection of Oyster Plates! She is also selling; and yet 'safe keeping' her favourites, the more rare and unusual Oyster Plates, because they will never lose their value; and those if ever sold, will fetch the full price! (like my favourite 'rare' Ladies). If any of you are interested in Oyster Plates, (I like her slogan: 'Your antique oyster plate connection'), here is her website: http://www.rubylane.com/shops/antique oyster plates.

Hope these tidbits help, when or if ever, you choose to sell your collections; whatever your collecting passions might be. However, if you do not need to rush into things, all the better. However, that being said, if you are going to sell, do it well. Once again, I am appreciative for the info bittids I received yesterday from a well known Lady Head Vase Specialist.

Tidbit - 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. I should also add 'value', as in 'perceived value' of 'collectibles' / antiques etc.

Bittid - 'Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you'.

Here is wishing you and us, an extra special 'Good Friday' and 'Easter Sunday'; and to also thankfully reflect upon our Blessings, we have all been given by Him. I love Easter Lillies; they exude such heavenly fragrances!

God Bless!
