I Would like two of those

I would like two of those I told the lady of the house.
I was staring at her two mushroom plant holders.
I can pay whatever you want, I told her.
I could tell that she was pleased.

I made them myself, she informed me. 
But I am saving them for my children, she acknowledged.

I knew her children pretty well.
I waited for my chance.
After her death I bought them for a quarter apiece
At their garage sale
