Thank You Susan...

The tiny Crustacean Appraiser's eye nearly popped out of his head when he finally got close enough to read the name on the cup and saucer..MEAKEN!! It's a MEAKEN!!

Hi Everybody...
I had such a swell time at Susan at Stony River's place last week, that I decided to try my hand at another Micro-Fiction Monday. As always, forgive my lack of hyperlinking technology in spite of Eric..AKA Bubba sending me the info to learn.
Thank You for your cooperation!
Peace...!!!

    Oh, excellent! A Lobster Appraiser -- I love how you explained the eye-pop and laughed out loud.

    Thank you for playing Galen! I always love what you can do with a character!

    (I Linkyed you, btw -- never a bother when it's you)

    A appraiser for Meaken. I have been trying to find someone to appraise my MEAKEN. The little appraiser is so small, I wonder if he'll be able to get past the cats.
    I saw the lobsters eyes too and couldn't come up with anything.
    You are good at this G-Man.

    So, this one has an "eye" for the good stuff, huh? Great take.

    BTW, links are easier than you think with blogger. let me know if you still need the steps.

    Looks like Noritake to me. Lobster needs glasses (lol)

    My Meakin is the old ironstone - didn't even know they made the bone china. Oh that was later.

    Nice micro fiction G
