I was fortunate enough to find the complete Cameo Memories 8 plate set from the Bradford Exchange on Ebay, for get this, $100! I have been watching these for a while and have seen individual plates from this series go for $60 a piece or even more. Recently another complete set went for almost $600! Just goes to show....keep your eyes peeled and you never know what you will find with a little patience.

My newest addition to my Franklin Mint porcelain Scarlett collection is the "Shame" dress doll. I am so excited to finally get her, as I have wanted her since she first came out (I was a bit young then, being only a pre-teen!). She was absolutely worth the wait and the price couldn't be beat...only $53 on Ebay! And she was in great condition...I wouldn't have know she was ever displayed if the seller didn't specify. Now if only I could find a bride for that price....(sigh)...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.hillustrationstudios.com/illustrations/shamedress.jpg"><strong>Click here</strong></a> for a picture of my new doll!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10172640-111385100961428764?l=www.hillustrationstudios.com%2Fgone-with-the-wind%2Findex.shtml'/></div>Hilaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14266817502115862133noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10172640.post-1110222994374168212005-03-07T11:12:00.000-08:002005-03-07T11:20:21.250-08:00One great reader submitted their favorite link, <a href="http://www.allgwtw.com/">www.allgwtw.com</a>.
