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?
