| Most of you know about my love of the Mikasa Holiday Elegance (white and gold-trimmed) figurines, I have a fairly good-sized collection now of Christmas ones. And some look like Mikasa, but have no maker's mark on them, which is ok with me too. Well two different sets of turkey candleholders came up on eBay. The actual Mikasa set is on right now and I'm hoping to win them. The other set was unmarked, and she put it on for a Buy It Now of TWO dollars!! Whoa, I snatched those up fast. When the seller emailed me, she said she hoped I really would enjoy them as I got a super bargain....too late she realized she'd made a TYPO, instead of $2, they were supposed to be $20. I felt so bad for her, but at the same time I was thrilled I got them. (picture from auction just shows one, they are identical.)

| Karen, That just shows that perseverance is a virtue! Imagine seeing those beautiful platters on EBay after waiting over a year! I love the platter--the barn, the colors, and the plaid border--AND the price! I am jealous of everyone today... And of course what a super addition to your white-and-gold collection. You really scored today! - Magpie |

| Good for you, Karen, and what great bargains! Especially your little turkey candleholders! Just goes to show how important proof reading is doesn't it???? I'm sure you got really excited when you found the platter and at such a great price, know you will enjoy it. ;o) Luvs |

| JB, I miss Tam here too. Her decor was always fabulous. What fun you have the FF tray also! I just won the Mikasa Holiday Elegance turkey candleholders! No one bid except me, so got them for $7.
hugs, Karen |

| Your turkey candle holders are beautiful and will look great with all of your other decorations. I am going to do a white and gold table at some point but don't have anything like that to put on mine.LOL If you keep enabling, some day I may though. What color candles do you plan on using in them? I think some shimmering gold ones would be wonderful. DD just brought me some tree plates, blue flowered plates, 2 sets of napkin rings and a lg 8 candle holder today. She acts like I'm crazy for doing all the decorating but she sure buys lots to help me out. I think she enjoys seeing all them displayed. Punk |
