How big is it, does it have the hobnails, and what’s the color?
Coco
It’s a large, pale pink flower vase, and yes, hobnails! How much is it worth???
Closing my eyes, I do some quick mental math. I’m like the Marissa Tomei of antiques. My mother is an antiques dealer, my grandfather was an antiques dealer, my godfather is an antiques dealer…
Melody
Iridescent or solid color?
Coco
Iridescent.
Melody
$60 tops.
Coco
Boo… that’s so cheap! I thought Fenton pieces were priceless.
Melody
Find a mid-century alley cat or a mosaic art piece, and we’re talking real money.
Lindsey
That sounds beautiful! How real is the money?
Melody
Five grand?
Lindsey
Shut the front door! Five thousand dollars?
Coco
Nobody says ‘shut the front door’ anymore, Linds.
Lindsey
Just because you don’t say it doesn’t mean nobody does.
I’m about to sign off when Coco turns the conversation to me again.
Coco
How’s the rideshare going? Picked up any serialkillers yet?
Lindsey
I’m following her on Life360, so I know right where she is, Canal Street about to cross Royal. Where are you going?
