I can understand that, and I'm happy you were able to find another.

For most of my life, my mother always had a simple covered candy dish that
was always out on a table and filled with either candy or nuts. For some
reason she put it in a garage sale she had just prior to breaking up
housekeeping and moving to an apartment. I guess she had no idea I would
want it. Luckily, I was able to find one exactly like it on e-Bay.
