I decided to wait till the last minute to bid again, and I was swimming with my kids and missed the closing by a couple minutes. Some guy got it for $10.50. I hate when that happens!

I saw it at a junk shop (the only place I'll buy animal things and shells) but wasn't sure if the friend I was going to acquire it for would want to pay $50. He would've, and now "Is it another tortoise shell?" has become the qualifier for any object I contact him about that I'm not absolutely sure he'll want.

In the basement I found two mugs for $1 each- no problem. But a few steps later I found two stools... as pictured on page 8 in Book of Tiki but without the cushion. I think they were $50 for the pair. For what ever reason, I passed... UGH! and yes, my wife still reminds me about once a month or so. Anyone care to remind me who made these stools? Because I just haven't regretted it enough!!!

They had it marked 35 bucks, but since it was Harvey's I wasn't intitially interest (stupid me) and went back 10 minutes later to find out someone with a better eye grabbed it! I wish them the best, because I truly understand now. :)
