I got a call the other day from a lady that I bought several spectacular dresses from last year. Some of you may remember as I posted a ton of questions and pictures about them about this time last year. It's funny because when I purchased the dresses last year she told me that the 20 or so dresses that I bought were only the tip of the iceburg, so to speak, and that she would call me when she had time to sort through her storage rooms.
What's funny is that I was going through my stock and still had a few of these dresses left that I was going to save for my website (which I have yet to have time to develope). So, I decided to go ahead and list them. Of course that got me thinking about this sweet lady and I started to wonder why she hadn't called me back.
The very next day the phone rings and it's her! Am I still interested?!?
I was there within the hour. Two van fulls later and more to come soon and I am up to my eyeballs in a mountain of spendor.
Last year when we met her hubby was ill and sadly he passed shortly thereafter so that is why she had not called.
Here are some that I have just listed:

How weird it was that she called right after you were thinking about her!

But, how wonderful are these dresses and skirts! I remember the last load with that early Chloe', wasn't it?

I adore the blue roses, and I'm sure others will too, but I've never heard of the label.

I want to use that Samuel Winston on the label resource. I just can't wait to see the rest of them. I guess you'll have no trouble paying for the New Orleans trip now.;)

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. What everyone dreams of. I am speechless. Congratulations!!!!
 
Oh my gosh!!!!!! I was just laying down and having my favorite daydream....how someone calls and says they have a lot of old clothes etc...I get there and its the MOTHERLODE. How weird is this? I turn on the ocmputer and read that MY daydream actually happened to you!!!! Those are the most gorgeous dresses etc. Wow, maybe my daydream will come true, for me, someday. As for now, HOORAY for you!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D

Lizzie,
Yeah, that's right. The Chloe was one of the ones I sold from her collection last year.
And Karen, you're right. They helped alot in financing my eBay live trip last year. Dang-you guys have good memories.:)
It kinda freaked me out that she called shortly after I started to think about her. It certain strengthen my belief in telepathy.
I just hope that I am not singing in the shower the next time you tune me in though, Joey. Ha.:P
