That's the stuff! Always started with the textiles, like curtains or carpets. Terrifying the first time, then part of the magic carpet ride.
I kind of like mushrooms, just keep you sparkly ..:o


My contact had to flee suddenly, he had unrelated priors attempted murder terrorism etc.
Used to shoot people in the kneecaps that they didn't like. "Don't trust a guy with a limp" was their motto.
Then had a hit squad with weapons get caught at the border with his name and phone number. That was a fun day getting interrogated...:o
Parts of your story sounds like my family lol in Minnesota ?

Just got back from a yard sale by a book dealer who just moved to town. Mostly trash but I picked up a decent 1956 1st edition of Pearl S. Buck's Imperial Woman. I went up to his table and introduced myself, told him I'm a collector and what I like (19th c. Chinese and Japanese stuff and related western stuff). Giving him a wishlist tomorrow. And he waved off me paying for the Buck novel, not worth much but worth more than he wanted.

Got home and pulled my new volume out for a look and noticed a bookmark. 2 crisp Chinese banknotes printed in 1999! I'm rich! Like 10 cents richer! It's like playing penny slots lol.20230922_162229.jpg
