What I do for a bunch of Starburst (Status: road trip)

I drove 2 1/2 hours north to Cleveland, sat in front of a house at 2:30 A.M., had the police surround my car, had a woman try to jump my claim and went 32 hours without sleep.  Hey, It was for 71 pieces of Franciscan Starburst (yeah, the cops thought I was crazy too)!

The neighbors called the cops to check on the suspicious car parked on the street.  One cruiser pulled in behind me and another in front; they hit me with the spots, checked my license and wished me luck.

The other major issue was a lady who had line number 2.  She ran to the checkout table and tried to buy the dishes out from under me.  I trumped her because I followed estate sale etiquette by grabbing the price tag; she was a very unpleasant loser.  Let's see what I pulled in from my epic road trip.

seven dinner plates, ten luncheon plates, one platter, two bread plates

Four coffee cups, nine saucers

Four berry bowls, three coup bowls, two spoon rests

A gravy boat with attached under plate, one creamer

two divided serving bowls, two open serving bowls and one lid

Six coffee mugs (SUPER SCORE!)

A water pitcher...but

It has a few flea bite chips (sigh)

A candy plate… that sadly has a notable chip on the handle

There are also some other pieces with chips ranging from flea bite to chunk-a-chip and a couple items with major cracks.  Oh well.

I also got to meet the lady who owned the dishes.  She told me that the dishes are her wedding dishes and that her grand kids told her how vividly they remembered having hot cocoa in the mugs.
