Well worth the 3 hour car journey

I love hearing stories like this and it just proves that some of the old retireds are still out there, just waiting to be found.

WOW - Congrats on these wonderful finds!!!!!!!!

WOW Congratulations!!!!!!!

What a great and lucky find!!! Is it also your first crane? I love this bead, and cannot imagine swapping or selling it! Worth waiting at the counter in all patience!!!! Congratulations!

Wow! they are lucky finds. I live in eternal hope that I will stumble upon a little used TB stockist who doesn't realise what they have but so far I struggle to find a decent selection of current production beads locally let alone anything special!

WOW, how lucky are you!
Huge Congratulations, what a thrill....

Canada seems to be the land of the forgotten Trollbead treasures!

When I first started collection Trollbeads I found an on-line Canadian shop that some "old" stock photos (of beads that had retired). When I contacted them about the "Old Earth" they said, sorry we don't have that one anymore but we have Red Armadillos, Sea grass, Lavender bud..what else are you looking for?

I remember driving home all numb and excited and not believing my luck and all I kept thinking is...."God, please don't let me get into an accident, so I can get home safely and enjoy my crane"

Yes it is my first and probably only crane. I have not even seen one IRL. When I told Dh he's like...sell it you can make some money and buy more beads...he saw it sold for $685 on the auction site.
I was like....shut up you stupid man....crane is staying right here with me!

Oh oh, maybe you ought to outfit Armand with security detail to keep watch over Crane.

You must be Indiana Jones!!.What a treasuer hunter you are trollgirly! Congrats

Wow! What a haul and quite a story you've got to tell! You must have been a nervous wreck Congrats
