Some of you may have seen my post yesterday about trying to sell my 12 place-setting fine china set.

17. When I was young...

We had tenants living upstairs in this huge house we owned and lived in as well.

There was this very old man who lived in one of the apartments.

He would come downstairs with BUCKETS full of change and try to give it to my mom. He didn't want it because the change was "dirty". My mother refused to take it, and they would have arguments because she told him to take it to the bank and cash it in.

Shortly before this guy died, he gave me a small picnic basket full of old stamps and cancelled envelopes. I held onto it for years.

When I finally decided to try to sell it, I couldn't find any buyers.
