Danni says “ It’s strange to get old” made me laugh I’m getting close to 79 and recovering from a heart attack. Getting old is a journey enjoy every minute of every day. I collect art glass and would have purchased several of those pieces. Here in Canada it’s a pretty good price I chose what I like not necessarily the best. Like Danni says what brings joy.
It is strange to get old! I just got the 50th class reunion invite last week. I said what?? I had bypass surgery the summer before last, it brings a strange state of mind when something involves your heart doesn't it. But we made it!! And I go to thrift shops for exercise and to resale. Keep getting better!
So gratefule to be 54. I don't know how long I will be in this world - but I am already so very blessed more than so many others in tis world. Saying prayers for those who will never get to be 54.
I met a young lady who NEVER HEARD of Robert Redford! COME AWN! Could she have been for real? One time, leaving work in NYC just as I approached the revolving doors to leave guess who came through!? YES! Robert Redford! I literally [unwillingly] screached (from excitement), he put his hands on my shoulders as I was so embarrassed, and said, very kindly, “It’s okay!” Such a sweetie, huh?
I have 2 Glassy baby's that I found at 2 separate Goodwill Stores here in Atlanta. One was .89 cents! The other one was $1.39! I still have them. I need to try and resell them.
@@JennyMack True. I live in San Marcos, CA and there's a small adorable Goodwill in a shopping center. The prices are a little high but the store is lovely.
I had to chuckle when 6 min. into the video you mentioned the lady who's having a LOUD phone conversation, a few months ago I entered a community second hand shop with a woman who received a call, I thought she'd stay outside to have a private conversation BUT NO everyone in the store had to hear her side of the conversation. After 10 min. trying to distance myself from her she was still loud mouthing till I interrupted her to ask her to pipe down because her behaviour was rude. I'm all in for live and let live but sometimes you HAVE to put your foot down, I'm over 60 now and I just don't care what strangers will think of me, bad mannered strangers especially. 😊
I'm almost 40 and I know who John Wayne is. I have older parents who love JW and my grandparents loved watching all his films, I grew up watching the westerns.
Fig jam is really easy to make in the crockpot. I didn't have an actual recipe...just really ripe figs, sugar and cinnamon or anything you like. Cook several hours. Really good.
I have the same size tortious as you do. In the winter she goes in a very large igloo dog house with a heating pad on the floor and a ceramic heat lamp hanging from the top. ( we live in north TX). She roams the yard and in the summer sleeps on the back porch. She begs at the back door and runs after me when I come out. Its amazing how fast she can go. She comes when we call her also.
When my Son reached 50, I asked him how the heck he managed to now be older than I am!! He didn't think that was funny! How did a Mom with a weird sense of humour manage to raise a guy without a sense of humour!!!
We miss the GW boutique, yes they were higher priced on many things but they also missed some real gems. We found a rare vintage pair of Polo Ralph Lauren men's loafers, paid $10, sold for $350. Saw a guy in front of us buy a Herman Miller computer chair for $30, it was worth $600 used. Even the regular GW in our area have doubled in price in the last year or so. We could go in and buy a full cart on 30% off old lady day, now we might find a few pieces.
I was so sad when our goodwill boutique closed. It was small but nice with a quick turnover. Every week something new to see. It was the people who made it special. The staff were devoted. They remembered you when you came in. You could also drop off donations. So many neighbors commented to me. I tried to call and let them know how we will miss it but they did not care to listen. A boutique is a great idea in my mind.
My family absolutely loves this. FIG JAM 3 cups figs 3 cups sugar 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 large pkg. jello (strawberry, wild strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, etc. I think strawberry is the best.) If you are making strawberry or raspberry jam, peel the figs. (It has been suggested that they would be easier to peel if dropped into boiling water for a few seconds. I recommend that you wear gloves to do the peeling as the skin will make your fingers raw. However, I don’t peel mine and the jam turns out fine.) Put the figs in the blender along with the lemon juice and blend (or chop fine). Combine figs, sugar, and jello and let sit for 30 minutes. Bring to a boil and let simmer 20-30 minutes (I cooked mine 20 minutes so it would be easy to spread on peanut butter sandwiches.) If you are going to can the jam, pour into sterilized jars and seal. This will make 2 1/2 pints, so I always double the recipe to get a full 5 pints.
The Salvation Army store in my neighborhood just closed. It was a very big store and when it got a new manager that tried to make it like a boutique it was doomed. She scattered the glass & china all over the store instead of being in one section. She started pricing things so high that I stopped going!
Gee, I watch ever video you make. If I could afford it I’d buy all your stuff . I flew from Ohio to Las Vegas just to meet you and shop your store ! Guess that makes me an idiot too !,I had no other agenda to fly to Vegas only to meet you ! I admire the fact you’ve supported yourself and I’ve learned so much from you ! So from one idiot to another , I think you’re great ! ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ha ha so funny, I like this post! I will join the idiot club with you guys. I did something kind of similar to you, I am in Alabama I did not fly out there , I can’t , but I do have a good friend who lives very close to her store that she had, I had a whole plan for my friend to take her something for me, get a photo and autograph for me, but……I just realized she’s closed the store, I’ve been away from her videos for a while trying to work but I am back to watching, I must figure out why she closed! Who would call her such name!? She’s one of the sweetest on TH-cam, she’s got such a happy sweet demeanor. I just love her and her son. ❤😊 cheers from Birmingham Alabama ❤😊
Omgoodness, after I get my car fixed, I am joining to get more tips from you. Thanks for the offer. Also, I've been Thrifting for a lil bit. Lots to learn. I was trying to learn as much as I could while taking care of my special needs daughter, who was passing. 😢 I can't wait to get the membership. I am Kathee's Treasures, Danni.
My neighbor had a fig tree and made some "faux" strawberry jam using figs and strawberry jello and I'm not sure what else, but it was delicious! You might google it! 🙂
Danni,I was watching Tiffanys latest Utube video, called Goodwills changed its policy and I noticed that the Goodwill she was at, {at18:41 min mark there was the Wusthof Knife block there for the knives you got last videeo.
Researching your old videos Dani. Love the items you choose. Back in the good old days I decorated my kitchen with chickens. Would have rescued the chicken, too. I saw a light pink shopper bag I might have considered. Yes, $10 for the glasses cases is way too much. Love the recap.
You are a target for criticism because you expose yourself. Sooo glad I don’t have to be blasted for my reselling mistakes- there are many and some are HUGE.
I love your thoughts on that you don’t need to buy everything!!! It gives non sellers the opportunity to buy things too at the “thrifted” price too. I’m not a reseller and I love the thrill of finding a great price for something I like as well.
I have a recipe for no bake fig cookies but not the measurements-lost the recipe but here goes-- I used figs from the store so I'd guess you'd cut the fig into pieces. Add brown sugar and butter in that pan. Let that cook on the stove till the figs are way soft. Remove from heat..Add Rice Crispies and use a spoon to get an amount for a ball. Repeat till all is in balls and then roll each.in shredded coconut. Let cool and eat!!
Hi Niche Lady...This is the first video I have watched...I really enjoy your style...very calming and interesting...never been in a Goodwill like this one. :)
Big Jim is delicious, also if you take a pig on your stuff it with goat cheese or cream cheese wrap it in prosciutto put it in a muffin pan with a paper and add balsamic vinegar. Then pop in the oven long enough to heat the cheese. They are a delicious one bite appetizer.
I didn't like figs straight off the tree until I was at a B & B and, at breakfast, we were served figs, but they weren't ripe, but they were absolutely delish. They were slightly sweet, not so mushy and really really good. I've wanted my own tree ever since, and besides fig Newtons, the only way I eat them is not ripened.
Here in Greenwood, Indiana, there are no longer any senior discounts that I've seen, i.e. restaurants and Goodwill. I'm not sure of anywhere else, but no one post it any longer like they used to, I've tried asking and told no discount. Four of us went to Outback Steakhouse for our birthdays and no discount.
Hi Danni, Do you have a food dehydrator, if so you can dry the figs then eat them, they will be lovely and sticky and sweet, they will turn dark brown when dried. Lesley, Victoria, BC. Canada.
Who gives a hoot what you buy or don't buy. It's up to you! If you don't buy a certain something, you can always look for it the next time. And if you don't find it, then maybe it was not meant to be.
Omg girlllll make you some fig preserves! My grandmother made strawberry preserved using figs , she used if I remember correctly strawberry jello to flavor it or koolaide? One of the two, I can’t remember, they were AMAZING! You can make grape etc. use those figs! I love just raw figs off the tree! ❤😊 cheer’s from Birmingham Alabama! 😊
The red elephant is a Pier1. I actually have it so know it is a SET. It has a tan baby elephant that hugs up against this bigger elephant. Notice the carved out area on it’s front where they come together.
With your hair pulled back, you look at least 10 yrs younger. And your presentation is so professional now. I am able to honestly say that I enjoyed the video.
For your figs..... every Christmas my Mom used to make a delicious treat. She took all the covering off the fig. Then she inserted a nut you like inside the fig, we used pecans. Then roll the fig in confectioner sugar. It is very good.
Slice your fig, add some bleu cheese inside each fig and bake for about 8 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and drizzle with a balsamic glaze. Delicious!
I've done some videos telling my story... it's a long answer! I grew up in the back of a thrift store which got me hooked, I was a single mom working 3 jobs, could only afford thrifted items. I started buying and selling before Ebay was even a thing - long history of direct sales companies, then Ebay happened!
There is an old-fashioned recipe using figs and strawberry jello that makes a very tasty jelly. Also, fig preserves are very tasty. I am sure you could search online and find those recipes.
Make fig preserve. Has lemon slices with peel. Delicious on toast bagels. Receipt uses sure gel powder and has receipt or u can look it up I let my figs stay on bush until they are really ripe.
You aren’t an idiot by any means and I wonder how many red tag items particularly leather goods other higher end items (maybe not glass or ceramic) will never be half off taken out of store prior to big sale days. I’ve learned a lot from you. I’m not a reseller but enjoy your shopping for bargains and knowledge you share. I don’t shop at Goodwill due to some of their salaries and charge from previous job training. I do shop local charity shops and online auctions. I occasionally do estate sales but my mobility is limited ouch my knees and picking up items after sales particularly picking up items from some high end homes is fun. Last one had million dollar view of river very pastoral. Nice to drool a little.
Okay, so about the figs. In my region jam made of green figs is a staple, especially with some french toasts. You pick the fruit while it is still green and firm, just before it starts to ripe, soften and turn to yellowish.Poke holes in the fruit and put them in cold water on the stove. Heat and boil for 5 min. Throw the water and repeat this process two more times. This should remove the bitterness. At the end wash the figs under cold water and let them cool and dry. Put some water on the stove and melt the sugar. For 1 kg of figs you are going to need 1 kg of water and 380 ml of water. Boil sugar and water for 10 min, add the figs and boil for another 20. Once you add the fruits, do not stir them, just sway the pot gently to move them around and remove the foam that will form from time to time. After 20 min let it cool at a room temperature without a lid for 24 h. When the time passes, put the jam back on the stove to melt the syrup and let it boil until it looks thick enough. At the end add 1 tea spoon of citric acid per kg of figs, disolved in 3-4 tea spoons of water. Stir gently and pour into small dried jars while still hot. Close the jars and put them somewhere to cool bottoms up to create a vaccum.
The Boehm glass plate that you found is pronounced beam like a balance beam. My father used to collect the ceramic birds figurines from that brand. years ago.
Fig bars with an oat crumble topping are fabulous. Id make fig jam but it depends on rhe variety of figs. There are scented fake candles now. Just be sure to get the good quality ones.
My mother had a mature fig tree and hers were always green when ripe. You must have a different species. Green figs are pink to red on the inside. They are sweet and delicious! I actually prefer the fresh figs to the dried figs. ❤
Fig preserves sell at stores for about $6/8 a jar and are often used to accompany a cheese platter. They are pretty easy to make, with lots of recipes on You Tube. The preserves can be used to make a kind of fig newton... spread the thick preserves on a long rectangle of pie dough, top with another sheet of dough, cut into squares or rectangles and bake the pieces until golden. Of course, one wants to make the pieces neat and uniform, not too big.
Danni that decorated green carafe looks like a Princess House wine cooler that someone hand decorated. You put ice in the side pocket and it keeps the wine cool without diluting it. Mine is from the 70's and had a straw closure in the top. You are awesome! ! Thank's for all the great information and videos, love you in Pa.
I don’t think you are being criticized when they mention you missed something. I feel like they are just stating their knowledge of an item that is of high quality. You do a great job.
I’ve been looking for a piece of glass like that Bohemian piece. It looks so mid century with the blue and green colors Darn wish I was there to get it.😢
@patriciaanzelc5386 The sight of it made my breath catch. When she passed on it, I was beside myself...especially after I Lensed it. It's a Venus bowl by Global Views that is being offered for sale at Luxe Home Philadelphia for $475.
Wash your figs Google then sugar them down over night cook them. Down until they are tender let cool mash them get some dough from freezer section cool out put a rule spoon of figs on the dough fold over makes a small bite bake them till golden brown enjoy
Hi Danni froem Manchester England. We all watch you shop for bargains , but could you please do a different video on how you pack and ship your items? This might be useful for new resellers like me who need to ship and pack fragile items.
Danni, make fig preserves out of your figs. Go on line and get a recipe. I'm sure Noah could make them. Wonderful with biscuits and butter, especially for breakfast or brunch! I have a fig tree. Started off with a tree about a foot or foot and a half tall. It's now about 7 foot tall and 7 - 8 foot wide and about 10 - 12 foot around! But fig preserves are fairly easy to make. Also, to save the figs for later, put them in a freezer bag and freeze them. No need to do anything to them till you get ready to use them. You could make muffins, a cake, etc. Again, look on line for recipes. You might be amazed! Chris
I like to spread mild goat cheese on a halved fig with a bit of chopped chive on top. It’s a special treat since a package of 6 fresh figs can cost between $6-9 where I live and they are not always available.
People are thoughtless or clueless w phones. I recently was on a parking lot transport bus to main airport and someone was discussing their colonoscopy!😳🥺
This weekend I finally found a Blenko water Jug at Goodwill - $3.99 . My unicorn, holy grail. I would never pay new prices for my glass collection pieces and that’s why I shop Goodwill
Hello Niche lady, I'm Kathee. I've watched you like... Well plenty of times. Just giving you a shout out. That tea cup with the piece that fits inside makes them hold less & that way, after you boil you water & steep the tea in the cup, lid on 2-3 minutes. Afterwards you take out the tea strainer & fil with cream or cold water & sugar, etc. It keeps one from burning your lip or scalding your mouth. That's what I read once.
Battery operated candles are excellent and safe for use during power outages and as night lights. Some also flicker. Real candles are one of the major causes of house fires. Most candles also spew petroleum based artificial scents into the house's interior air.
@@Tamweaver315 I have a hazelnut tree that I started from a cutting from my Mom's tree, and, in 40 yrs I have never had a nut. The squirrels take a bite out of each nut, then spit them out! Grrrr!

Danni- you are a good human - you are real and I love watching your journeys in TH-cam! Stay strong you are wonderful and honest I respect you -
Hate it when Goodwill charges more than the original store. I almost choked on my water when you found the horse butts. Love the name. lol 🥰
Getting older...I call them the RUSTY YEARS not golden😂😂😂
I call them my forgetful years.😂
Amen to that one.😊 nobody ever told me I would be creaking and groaning with every movement.

Omg girlllll make you some fig preserves! My grandmother made strawberry preserved using figs , she used if I remember correctly strawberry jello to flavor it or koolaide? One of the two, I can’t remember, they were AMAZING! You can make grape etc. use those figs! I love just raw figs off the tree! ❤😊 cheer’s from Birmingham Alabama! 😊
My pet peeve - people talking on phones in stores! Why??!! You are brilliant! And very kind.❤
The red elephant is a Pier1. I actually have it so know it is a SET. It has a tan baby elephant that hugs up against this bigger elephant. Notice the carved out area on it’s front where they come together.
With your hair pulled back, you look at least 10 yrs younger. And your presentation is so professional now. I am able to honestly say that I enjoyed the video.
Karen I agree with you. She looks younger and sophisticated. Her style is really nice. Love it.
Maybe try a different shampoo. Thank you.
Do you still have the stoneware tea mugs with infuser. If yes I’m interested in them Ms Nish
Will be listed soon!
For your figs..... every Christmas my Mom used to make a delicious treat. She took all the covering off the fig. Then she inserted a nut you like inside the fig, we used pecans. Then roll the fig in confectioner sugar. It is very good.
Slice your fig, add some bleu cheese inside each fig and bake for about 8 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and drizzle with a balsamic glaze. Delicious!
Sounds delicious never tried that one. 🥰
Cool store ,, thank you for window shopping with you ,,, injoy your day ,,
Danni, how and why did you get involved the thrifting and reselling? Have you ever worked a corporate job? What made reselling a good thing for you?
I've done some videos telling my story... it's a long answer! I grew up in the back of a thrift store which got me hooked, I was a single mom working 3 jobs, could only afford thrifted items. I started buying and selling before Ebay was even a thing - long history of direct sales companies, then Ebay happened!
@@TheNICHELady Thanks for answering my questions.
There is an old-fashioned recipe using figs and strawberry jello that makes a very tasty jelly. Also, fig preserves are very tasty. I am sure you could search online and find those recipes.
Make fig preserve. Has lemon slices with peel. Delicious on toast bagels. Receipt uses sure gel powder and has receipt or u can look it up I let my figs stay on bush until they are really ripe.
Sounds luscious
The birds get to them first.
You aren’t an idiot by any means and I wonder how many red tag items particularly leather goods other higher end items (maybe not glass or ceramic) will never be half off taken out of store prior to big sale days.
I’ve learned a lot from you. I’m not a reseller but enjoy your shopping for bargains and knowledge you share. I don’t shop at Goodwill due to some of their salaries and charge from previous job training. I do shop local charity shops and online auctions. I occasionally do estate sales but my mobility is limited ouch my knees and picking up items after sales particularly picking up items from some high end homes is fun. Last one had million dollar view of river very pastoral. Nice to drool a little.
Okay, so about the figs. In my region jam made of green figs is a staple, especially with some french toasts. You pick the fruit while it is still green and firm, just before it starts to ripe, soften and turn to yellowish.Poke holes in the fruit and put them in cold water on the stove. Heat and boil for 5 min. Throw the water and repeat this process two more times. This should remove the bitterness. At the end wash the figs under cold water and let them cool and dry. Put some water on the stove and melt the sugar. For 1 kg of figs you are going to need 1 kg of water and 380 ml of water. Boil sugar and water for 10 min, add the figs and boil for another 20. Once you add the fruits, do not stir them, just sway the pot gently to move them around and remove the foam that will form from time to time. After 20 min let it cool at a room temperature without a lid for 24 h.
When the time passes, put the jam back on the stove to melt the syrup and let it boil until it looks thick enough. At the end add 1 tea spoon of citric acid per kg of figs, disolved in 3-4 tea spoons of water. Stir gently and pour into small dried jars while still hot. Close the jars and put them somewhere to cool bottoms up to create a vaccum.
It was a long day for me, so I'm just going to 👍and say, 'thanks' for the video to wind down the day! 💕💞💕
You are so welcome!
It is indeed so strange to get old. I think about that a lot; that some newer generations won’t know who someone like John Wayne was.
I have fond memories of watching old westerns with John Wayne on Sat afternoons with my dad when I was young.
That goldish copper hand is a Buddha hand. I relate to your struggle! I try to resist and think lol
The Boehm glass plate that you found is pronounced beam like a balance beam. My father used to collect the ceramic birds figurines from that brand. years ago.
I used to have a fig tree and made fig bars from scratch. You can also make fig nut bread, and fig cookies.
I just looked up the coalport figurines..they seem to be going for alot of money..I'm kinda shocked. Love all you do Danni!
Fig bars with an oat crumble topping are fabulous. Id make fig jam but it depends on rhe variety of figs. There are scented fake candles now. Just be sure to get the good quality ones.
My mother had a mature fig tree and hers were always green when ripe. You must have a different species. Green figs are pink to red on the inside. They are sweet and delicious! I actually prefer the fresh figs to the dried figs. ❤
Fig preserves sell at stores for about $6/8 a jar and are often used to accompany a cheese platter. They are pretty easy to make, with lots of recipes on You Tube. The preserves can be used to make a kind of fig newton... spread the thick preserves on a long rectangle of pie dough, top with another sheet of dough, cut into squares or rectangles and bake the pieces until golden. Of course, one wants to make the pieces neat and uniform, not too big.
The glass thing with the ball on top is a terrarium for plants, I bought mine at Target. I paid 39 for mine
you are not an idiot Danni ♥️ Don’t even acknowledge negative 😂😂 I pray you are feeling better ♥️
Not fig newtons, but my ex made a recipe with pastry dough, figs, and blue cheese tarts. Sooooooo Good!
Danni that decorated green carafe looks like a Princess House wine cooler that someone hand decorated. You put ice in the side pocket and it keeps the wine cool without diluting it. Mine is from the 70's and had a straw closure in the top. You are awesome! ! Thank's for all the great information and videos, love you in Pa.
I don’t think you are being criticized when they mention you missed something. I feel like they are just stating their knowledge of an item that is of high quality. You do a great job.
I’ve been looking for a piece of glass like that Bohemian piece. It looks so mid century with the blue and green colors Darn wish I was there to get it.😢
@patriciaanzelc5386 The sight of it made my breath catch. When she passed on it, I was beside myself...especially after I Lensed it. It's a Venus bowl by Global Views that is being offered for sale at Luxe Home Philadelphia for $475.
@@KittyKath9 we both love beautiful things. Good research!
Wash your figs Google then sugar them down over night cook them. Down until they are tender let cool mash them get some dough from freezer section cool out put a rule spoon of figs on the dough fold over makes a small bite bake them till golden brown enjoy
Hi Danni froem Manchester England. We all watch you shop for bargains , but could you please do a different video on how you pack and ship your items?
This might be useful for new resellers like me who need to ship and pack fragile items.
I have an entire playlist of shipping videos called Get Ship Done!
Danni, make fig preserves out of your figs. Go on line and get a recipe. I'm sure Noah could make them. Wonderful with biscuits and butter, especially for breakfast or brunch! I have a fig tree. Started off with a tree
about a foot or foot and a half tall. It's now about 7 foot tall and 7 - 8 foot wide and about 10 - 12 foot around! But fig preserves are fairly easy to make. Also, to save the figs for later, put them in a freezer bag and freeze them. No need to do anything to them till you get ready to use them. You could make muffins, a cake, etc. Again, look on line for recipes. You might be amazed! Chris
We love you Danni don’t listen to haters the world unfortunately is full of them-you have taught us so much❤
😊...new sub friend here...love your thrifts! Also love your aqua nails! So pretty😊
Welcome! and thank you!
I like to spread mild goat cheese on a halved fig with a bit of chopped chive on top. It’s a special treat since a package of 6 fresh figs can cost between $6-9 where I live and they are not always available.
You know these people that criticize! They have no concept at all of how you run your business,and it’s none of their business!!
People are thoughtless or clueless w phones. I recently was on a parking lot transport bus to main airport and someone was discussing their colonoscopy!😳🥺
This weekend I finally found a Blenko water Jug at Goodwill - $3.99 . My unicorn, holy grail. I would never pay new prices for my glass collection pieces and that’s why I shop Goodwill
Old you tell me how much you will be selling the tea cups for? I would like only one, but interested.
Check out the NicheLadyShop.com
We love watching your adventures!!!
Wouldn't the lid in tge tea cup, br used to steep your tea?
Hello Niche lady,
I'm Kathee. I've watched you like... Well plenty of times. Just giving you a shout out. That tea cup with the piece that fits inside makes them hold less & that way, after you boil you water & steep the tea in the cup, lid on 2-3 minutes. Afterwards you take out the tea strainer & fil with cream or cold water & sugar, etc. It keeps one from burning your lip or scalding your mouth. That's what I read once.
Battery operated candles are excellent and safe for use during power outages and as night lights. Some also flicker. Real candles are one of the major causes of house fires. Most candles also spew petroleum based artificial scents into the house's interior air.
I love your discretion when determining what to buy! You are obviously successful so keep it up!
Danni you have taught me so much for my little personal collections! I love your content!
Me too!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕
Blown glass. I love the blue kitty. Ive seen some of these during the making. Don't know what they are worth though.
Danni, a great fun video. I love your commentary! Did you go back on the 50% and 75% off days?
Sadly no
Marjolein Bastin Sketchbook serving pieces at 23:10. Any value there?
Unfortunately no :-(
I had a fig tree but the birds always ate the fruit before I could get any fruit. I guess this is how God feeds the birds.
@@Tamweaver315 I have a hazelnut tree that I started from a cutting from my Mom's tree, and, in 40 yrs I have never had a nut. The squirrels take a bite out of each nut, then spit them out! Grrrr!
That beautiful black and white plate that had Morocco written on the back, actually had Arabic writing on it. Don't know if that helps looking it up.
