Message:: [QUOTE="Rick Erfert, post: 576166, member: 8606"]Wow where have I been to have missed this Cameo post.Some Fantastic stuff pictured and everyone should have one, which usually leads to two,etc...I'm not sure what the draw is but I've always had a thing for wanting a cameo (lady in pink with gold)After searching a bit years ago for one to give to the girlfriend I came across a nice one.[ATTACH=full]173942[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]173943[/ATTACH] IF I recall it came from an estate sale back east and was around $75.Here is the fun part....There was such a fiasco with paying for the item that I almost didn't get it.Evidently my money wasn't good enough and my parents had to go get a USPS postal money order. That money order was on a usps truck that turned over in a desert wind storm in route and went missing so another one had to be sent...When it finally arrived it was sent to my parents house instead of mine, my mom had forgotten and was trying to figure out when and where she picked it up from.It came in a monogrammed burgandy velvet cloth bag.A few weeks later my mother was cleaning up, swept the kitchen floor instead of vacuuming and in a dust pan was a 1ct European Cut Diamond. We could only GUESS that it was in the bottom of the bag as she opened it up at the kitchen table. I didn't get to keep the diamond,  my mother called dibs.[/QUOTE]
