[Mccoypottery-talk] Biagi-Yard Sales

[Ann Clark]

Well, Susie, that is how I buy all of the antiques that I buy....because I
just like them.  I just bought 2 antique fern stands and feel I got such a
good deal....I have a lot to learn about McCoy, I realize.  But I do think
people should buy what  makes them happy!  Ann
