c:> Well, Mom and I have got to do it sometime, and with her old house in the process of being fixed up we can't bear to think of one of the workers accidentally breaking pieces of her collection.

I'll be spending the rest of the day cleaning up and sorting a large portion of these things--ceramic and china figures, for the most part, collected for decades and mostly animal-themed. I'd also be very happy to know where they came from, what era, their value today, a maker, or any information you guys might have. I'll be posting up some photos of the beauts soon so let me know if you have any insider knowledge. >u<;
