Beth Feeback, her husband and a very precious painting.
Okay, I just had to share this tidbit of recent news with all you thrifters and fellow Club G.W.-er's out there. Ever think you made the Goodwill {or just insert your favorite thrifting venue here} find of the century? This woman makes your find look like an overpriced bad deal.
Beth Feeback picked up two paintings for $9.99 each at a Goodwill in North Carolina. She just wanted them for the canvasses, so she could PAINT OVER THEM. (Confession: I would have wanted to paint over them, too. Just not my taste in art I guess.) Turns out, they were worth WAY more if she didn't. Around $15,000 to $20,000 more! They are Ilya Bolotowsky originals from the Weatherspoon Art Gallery at the University of North Carolina - Greensboro. You can read her story here. Who knew? Way to go, Beth!
This rags to riches story hasn't happened to me yet. But a girl can dream, can't she? What was YOUR best Goodwill/thrifting/junking find? I'd love to hear!
Have a great week!
xoxo
