Default My Moms Goodwill find

My Mom likes very simple art. Some of it she does herself. She has always believed she has some Amish in her blood. So she and my sister went to Goodwill and found this lovely folk art picture of a woman tending her sheep. It was signed by Carol Endres. It also had a number 2105/2500. So I figured it had to be a limited print. So I did some Internet searching today and found the same painting "Abigal" 108 of 2500 going for $155. Mom paid 50 cents for hers. It looks in perfect condition. Only problem was that I told Mom right before she went to bed. I'm not sure she will sleep. I know an earlier print is worth more that #2105 but still it is worth a lot more than 50 cents. My Mom just love to discover treasures in a Goodwill. She has found more fine crystal and silver there and just takes it home and polishes it.
