[QUOTE="Marko, post: 2707785, member: 210"]Almost as good as a find is the story behind it. Hubby was up to driving me around Saturday, and we visited a thrift shop I have never been to. It was really a retail-type of shop that also sold second-hand items. They did have some jewelry, most marked $3.99. I didn't find much, just two costume pieces I liked and a sign.
