Last Sunday one of my wishes came true!
If only it could have been my main wish for
world peace and fair distribution of wealth...
(deep sigh)
For almost two years I've been "dreaming" about a
way too expensive set of antique specimen jars...
It's origin, we've been told,
an antique set of specimen jars from the university of Namen
with a content of special cacti...
Finally I "haggled" a much better price, only half of the original price,
suggesting I was an antiques dealer myself (big smile)...
Sometimes patience can be worth while!
The jars being in desperate need of a good cleaning...
