Shirley, if I ever manage to get a bargain, I will certainly share it!!! lol!!! I don't have your good luck in bargains!!! But I do have a very beautiful new pair of earring on right now!!!

I can't believe what you got for so small of prices. I have some scarves too and don't wear them, but I do hang them from a peg-holder on the wall, so I have quite a few flowing down and they are back on the pegs, so that clothes can still be put on the front of the peg, too...looks pretty...
