Latest Hummel Addition!

-

I have been adding to my collection of Hummels recently and this one just came in today! 


It has the original box and paperwork! Very few in this price range include the box and/or paperwork! I paid $21.43 including shipping and tax! The Hummel itself was $14.50! It’s in perfect condition too! Even the label on the base is perfectly intact! Many in this price range are missing the label altogether or part of the label is worn off or becoming detached. Very pleased with this purchase! 

I only have one other Hummel in this price range that included the box and paperwork! Here it is! 














I do have another Hummel on the way that also has the original box and paperwork and appears to be in mint condition! The seller mistakenly shipped my Hummel to another buyer and shipped the other buyer’s Hummel to me! He got the labels mixed up on the boxes! 

To resolve it, I shipped the one I received directly to the other buyer instead of back to the seller and the other buyer shipped mine directly to me. The seller gave me a complete refund of $24.41, including the cost of the Hummel, shipping and tax! I only had to pay shipping cost of something like $11 to get it to the other buyer. The seller said he would refund this shipping cost too! But I wouldn’t accept it. In fact, I told him that once I received my Hummel, I’d still like to pay what I initially paid minus the cost of shipping to the other buyer. But he refused this option. Yes, it was inconvenient but despite the delay due to his error, I am still getting my Hummel! The poor seller obviously a made a human error! It certainly was not purposeful. And he gave the refund because he wanted to make things right. But he’s definitely taking a hit on both Hummels! I’m not sure if he refunded the other buyer too but I’m sure he did. 

So, in the end, I will have paid essentially less than half of what I originally paid with shipping and tax and was refunded! With the box and paperwork, paying around $11 is still a crazy good deal! I feel a little guilty! But I offered to pay for it minus the shipping cost to get the other Hummel to the other buyer. He refused to accept this. 

I can’t wait to see it! It’ll be here in a couple of days! Here is the photo from the listing! I hope everything is intact after being with the other buyer for a few days! Fingers crossed! 🤞🤞🤞


Anyway, this is my latest Hummel received today, with no issues! And the box opening was rather fun! 👍👍

Too Much Rain!

We are getting way too much rain! Plus we had a snow melt with all of this rain! The yard is a mess! When walking down to the chicken coop, the lawn is so soft and squishy! I had to wear boots because my feet would have gotten drenched with regular footwear just walking across the lawn! No drought here!  Areas out front:  Our walkway from driveway to front of house! Crazy!   Areas out back:  I am glad the chicken run is relatively dry!  The first year with my chickens, they were all sinking in mud here! I had to add many bags of fine gravel, followed by many bags of sand to raise the ground level a few inches inside the run! It still wasn’t quite enough so I had to add many more bags of sand a couple more times until I could get the ground was raised enough to stay puddle-free! All in all, I raised the ground here about 7 inches from what it was! It was a lot of work! I can’t recall exactly how many bags of gravel plus sand were used. I’m guessing I used about 30, 50-pound bags of grav

Deck Work

We are in the process of replacing the deck boards and railings, as well as adding additional supports in various spots to enhance the strength of the deck over time. It was tough removing the old deck boards and getting the new ones into position. The new boards are pressure-treated and are 20 feet in length, so each board was very heavy and difficult to maneuver. Once we had the boards in place it took about 800 deck screws to secure them! That’s a lot of screwing, LOL! We still have the last two end boards to install, as well as the new railings, and then we need to work on the stairs. We are going with premade railings which will be easier to install after trimming them to fit properly. Since the trailer is tied up with the scrap boards and railings, we have to run to the dump when they’re open I was hoping to finish before the end of vacation but we decided to take a break and head up to New Hampshire to visit our son and his family!  Here is the progress so far!  We had the 20-fo

Christmas Decorating in Progress!

-

This year I decided to make some changes with some of my Christmas decorations! The old outdoor strings of lights needed to be replaced. One string no longer worked last year and I figured the others might not might not make it through another season. I have always enjoyed the multicolor lights but I know my husband loves blue lights so I decided to go with blue. They are very pretty but, to me, not as “Christmasy” as the multicolored lights. I could go to the store to get multicolored lights to replace them but it is just too much work at this point! We will remain decorated in blue for this Christmas anyway! LOL!!  But the highlight of my Christmas decorating this year is my new, pre-lit, artificial Christmas Tree! I had been using a pre-lit, artificial Christmas tree that I have had for at least ten years, possibly closer to 15 years! But it was only seven feet tall and looked really tiny in my post and beam living room with super high ceilings!  My new tree is twelve feet tall! And
