I am a thrift shop junkie. Can't pass one up. I am not a collector but seems like I have collected many items; one day I will retire and get me a booth to sell my thrift store finds.
I was stopped by a another shopper while walking out of a store with a large framed art piece, (I paid $3.59) he offered me 40.00 on the spot. Of course I refused, figured if someone is going to give me 40 I could probably get $400.00 for the art. I decided to keep the art piece, looks beautiful hanging in my bedroom.
One day I will get it appraised. It is a Marguerite Pearson large art work of a lady at the piano looking out her window, the frame is also very pretty, old and very ornate gold with some green color.
