| I've been trying to find a curio cabinet to put in my Dad's room that I'm redoing (maybe I should start calling it Zorro's room now). Checking Craigslist, I saw one for sale by a dealer in my big, favorite antique mall. So off I went yesterday to get it. I did, and its perfect for my Cherubs, and little bird, collectibles! Naturally I just had to spend almost 2 hrs walking the whole place and seeing what the 500 dealers had. (Luvs, wish you were with me again...we had such a great time that day.)
I went a bit crazy....ok, more than a bit...buying all this Bunny and Easter stuff I saw! I keep telling myself I need LESS not more, but Myself just doesn't listen! I'm definitely sunk when I see 'crackled' bunnies and these sure spoke to me.
hugs, Karen

| I love everything you bought. The Lefton chick is my favorite. So glad you got to have some retail therapy, but aren't you missing a picture? The Curio cabinet?? Or are you just teasing us until it's decorated? LOL TFS, |
|
| Karen, so Happy you found your curio cabinet. After finding all these beauties you may need to go shopping for another one! My favorites, All of them. The Old World Bunny if I had to pick only 1.LOL Like Candy, where's the cab. pic? Punk |

| Oh my... Oh my... Oh my....Karen I love Everything you bought! If I had a place near me like that, I probably would use my weekly grocery money and we'd starve!!! lol I love the bunnies with the crackle finish and the sparkly ones too. As far as finding a place for the 'big ones'...heck even if you tuck them in a corner..they're wonderful. Love - love - love your chicks. I've been eyeing some too, and you're right, on Ebay with shipping - it takes the fun out of buying them. I guess when something's in Season..they do that. |

 I flat forgot to take a photo of the curio. I did get the little birds and Cherubs in it tho. Here's what I did with some of my new decorations...the little corner etagere by the master bedroom. hugs, Karen |

| Gosh Karen, I love everything you found!! I have the twin to that porcelain egg. I found it at a TS years ago, I love it. Over the weekend I found a cabinet at a recycling center for the extra dishes glassware etc that I've gotten since Last Aug when I found Enablers R Us. I sit here shaking my head at myself. NanaK |

| NanaK, you really had me chuckling that you had to go buy a cabinet for all your new dishes thanks to this Forum. LOL. I'm glad you are having fun with us...we are enjoying helping you spend your money too. ;o) Oh, the gal at the check-out counter didn't know I'd come in to get a curio. So I kept bringing up all my little goodies as I walked the aisles for her to hold for me, and when I was done shopping, I told her I needed a curio cabinet to put them in so I was buying one too. hugs, Karen |

| Jane, my little Cherubs and also the small collection of bird pairs I have needed a 'home'. So that is what sent me curio hunting. They fit perfectly in this curio. Yep, Zorro does seem to approve, LOL. He's happy as long as he has his chair tho. |
|
| Very nice Curio, Karen. I'm sure the cherubs and birds are happy in their new home. How is Zorro doing? NanaK |
