I have found this to be true for me lately, but not in such a "material" way.

We are surrounded by treasures, take time to look around and breathe in all that you see.

From the Huff Post:

A blue and white vase that was for years used as a doorstop by a family in Birmingham, central England, turned out to be a rare 18th century Chinese artifact — which sold at auction on Friday for an eye-popping £650,000 (around $860,000).

“It is a quite spell bounding vase,” said Charles Hanson, managing director of  Hansons, via a press statement before the auction, adding it was “possiblymanufactured by the Imperial kilns for the Emperor’s Summer Palace.”

The auctioneers had estimated the vase would fetch £300,000 to £500,000 (around $400,000 to $660,000).

But the sale price ended up topping those predictions after the auction house received “significant interest” from across China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, Hanson told the BBC. The buyer’s identity has not been revealed.
