Diamond Rings In A Garage Sale Teapot
You read about it in stories. It’s really not that usual in real life to go to a garage sale and go home and discover a fortune. However, that is what happened to a lady in New Zealand when she went looking for stuff at a garage sale. She picked up two teapots for a few New Zealand cents and when she got home and started cleaning them, out fell a little jewellery box.Inside the jewellery box was an obituary that was faded with age, a large opal, an engagement ring which had a huge diamond and a wedding ring. Of course, the lady who was a regional councillor in the area realised that these were someone’s treasured possessions and she went all the way back to where the garage sale was being held.The lady at the garage sale was so thrilled because the rings were her grandmother’s which no doubt had been hidden in that teapot many years ago and forgotten. The strange thing is, this is not the first time this has happened to the regional councillor. Some time ago, she had bought a painting for a few New Zealand cents and a dealer later told her that it was a Menzies Gibb original. And all she had wanted was the frame of the picture – the dealer offered her 2000 New Zealand dollars for the picture. Now some people just seem to have the knack to picking up treasure!
