Geoff.

Bought a small wooden box painted with a chicken at the sale today. Asked a very attractive lady “how much”. She said well the box is a pound. I paid here a pound and left putting the box and other items in a bag not looking closer until this evening. In the picture (sorry for poor quality) are 3 rings. One with 5 small diamonds, 1 with a single diamond and the third a gold and silver mix. All have markings on. Next a gold plated locket but on a gold chain and last but not least an enamel broach. I bought the box and I am sure the Lady did not realize that these items were inside. I don’t think they are of great quality or value but by rights they are still hers and if she makes herself known she is welcome to them back. Hope others would do the same for me.

Guitar Man came to Mitchell yesterday and told me he had been to a flea market and recognised the pretty lady seller and introduces himself and reminds her of selling at Par on Thursday (get the tissues ready) she says to Guitar Man “I wish I hadn’t sold there someone stole all my jewellery which was of sentimental value” ‘Not so’ says my man the Guitar Man ‘for it was you who asked me a pound for the box I bought from your stall because it had a chicken painted on it, I just shoved it in my carrier and didn’t realize the contents were of any value till I got home and I got hold of Geoff to tell him, but I want to give you the jewellery back! Wow!
Tears of joy and happiness and delight flowed from the pretty lady’s face (god I am so sick) as she felt she had lost the jewellery forever and a day.
By the time you read this the ‘pretty lady’ will be reunited with the items in the picture plus two other gold rings so we are talking probably in the region of £300.00 valuation which Guitar Man could have legally sold the items on his stall.

What a lovely honest Guitar Man we have and what a happy pretty lady, but next time young lady be more careful and pay attention to what you are doing it isn’t every day you meet a Guitar Man!

Guitar Man sells at most of our Car Boot Sales he has always given great service to his customers he is a credit to the Car Boot Community so if the pretty lady is buying any kids presents for Christmas wouldn’t it be a great gesture of goodwill if she looked at Guitar Man’s stall and perhaps buy a kid a second hand guitar, it would also give me a chance to see how pretty ‘pretty lady’ is I only have Guitar Mans word! Thank you. Geoff and the team. X

Before any of you start asking ‘who is the pretty lady’ is it posh Anne?
