[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 4591204, member: 16407"]So great story: I was in a quirky thrift store and saw this piece. I thought it'd be perfect for my friend's birthday, since she wears lots of these colors. There was no price so I asked how much it was and the owner said, "That's been paid for already." "Oh, someone bought it?" I said. "No, they paid for it and left it for whoever liked it, and hoped that they [me] will 'pay it forward' in the future.'" Apparently an older man comes in to the shop every once in a while and pays for things for other people as a random act of kindness. As the owner and I talked about him, we deduced that he might be doing it in honor of his late wife. So I got it for nothing, will give it to my friend, and will look for a way to pay that generosity forward to someone else. Anyway, what is this piece? Glass? Thank you!
