OOOOHHHHHHH
i jumped on this thread as soona s i saw it. i too am a charity shopoholic.
and im proud!!!
in my past career i was a manager for 3 different chains of charity shops and i know my stuff. i was brought up in jumble sales, charity shops, antique markets and the such. now i have my own kids, nothing fills them with more excitemant than apound coin and a new charity shop, they are the new experts, telling me what came out when and where the action man gets his boots from!
my best buy, apart from a complete meakin 1065 maori dinner service for £13 was a little ring. i paid 50p for it in my art school days when i was working weekends in a big cahrity shop in surry. i wore it for two or three years and when the back finally broke i took it to the jewellers next door to get some thing to hold it together. the jeweller refused to touch it. it turned out after an appraisal to be russian turn of the century white gold and 13 diamond wedding ring.as you can imagine, i fell off my chair.
it is now repaired and waiting for mr right.
well, at least i have the ring...and the venue...and the transprot....and the dres...oh bloody hell, i need a man. |
