A nice surprise…

when I turned over the bowl the fudge came in to find that it was a Mary Ann Baker collectible ‘Holly Bowl’  listed on eBay and Etsy for $15.

I felt almost like I should return the bowl to the hospital.  My sister talked me out of that notion.  The bowl is beautiful and in perfect condition.  I will fill it with miniature Christmas balls next month.  Right now I have Halloween candy bars in it since I didn’t have one single trick or treater.

I hope you all have a great week.  Stay safe and be happy!

Beth

    That's awesome....but I'm sure the person who donated the bowl and fudge wanted to bless someone else with it. Glad it was you!!!

    I confess Beth that I know little or nothing about these kind of collectibles. It certainly a lovely little bowl. Do you collect things like this?
    A few trick or treaters here. Not like when I was a kid.
    Thank you for your comment Beth. If your the only person who visits my blog then I am happy.
