Hey leleliz, I saw that bucket mug today myself, as well as the Moai. I am glad someone here on TC got them!

That vendor is always nice to me. I barely paid anything for them which was a bonus :)

I hope to run into you guys at the Antique Fair sometime. :) I will drop you a line next time I am going.

Maybe we should start a thread and post there. It would be nice to meet more TC members out and about...so I knew what you looked like AND of course so I can scope out the competition! :wink:

Did you see my McPhee velvet painting I picked up today? My girlfriend also found two Turner prints, one with flamingos and one with storks.

I tried to buy a Turner flamingo print today...the vendor was asking more than I would pay and wouldn't negotiate. Oh well. Then I literally had a flamingo statue in my hand..was turning it over to look at the price when some guy grabbed it out of my hand and said "I just bought that. Thanks" lol
At the time it was still sitting on the shelf..hey I guess it wasn't meant to be!

For my other finds, I picked up a Skipper Kents Moai, a thin lips Islander from Stockton and a hobbiest mug that looks like it could be somewhere between a totem and a tiki. :)

I saw lots of Skipper Kents and Islander stuff, Trader Dick's, Harvey's and a few random mugs..one vendor had a lot but when he wanted $22 for a Harvey's bucket you can only guess how high the rest of his stuff was priced! I told him I will see all his stuff at the show next month...since it was already 2 and he obviously hadn't sold anything from the display.

Sabu..I saw the Doctor Z thread with that bucket mug after I posted this one...such a random thing to find but at least those shriners held onto the mugs for awhile!
