6. OK, so I went with my 'gut' today. Didn't work.

The charity thrift shop where I worked for the last 3+ years is closing. My hours are gone so today I went poking around. I guess I was feeling badly. Lots of things going on including a death in the family. I just had to get out.

Stopped at a thrift shop to look around. Since I look at everything, my eye caught a very messy bag of jewelry. Note on Bag: "do not open"...$5.00.
Well, since I could barely see inside the cloudy bag, I did the best look-see that I could do. Lots of rings, few chains couple pair of earrings.

Got home, opened bag. AVON....ugh. I'll admit that the rings are decent looking, the earrings are cute, the necklaces are OK but the total value is zilch. Now what the heck do I do with them?
Maybe next time.....
