BOTH duckie & i are thrift shop/auction JUNKIES!
btw, my late wife made THE ALL-TIME BARGAIN purchase at a Dallas thrift store about 25 years ago.
she found a MINT-condition 100% HAND-brocaded gray silk-VELVET ladies riding habit with divided skirt,jumper,belt,lace blouse,boots,plumed top hat & parasol for the price of $35.oo total.(and would you believe it ALL fit VK, including the BOOTS ????)
the habit is circa 1890 and is NOW on permanent-loan to a textile museum in my home state! it's literally too valuable to wear!
NOTHING like that ever presented itself to me!
