There is an antique shop closeby, which I visit regularly. The shop is quaint, and packed with all kinds of treasures, well, treasures to me....they may not be treasures to someone else. Since my house is old, I have found a few things that fit in well here. Today I picked up an antique mirror, which has a cubby for keys.... for an insanely low price. I also have the most perfect spot for it too. As I was leaving, I spotted a sterling necklace chain, one which has the most unique linking that I have ever seen....again for an insanely low price.
But, even though I manage to find something to buy, the highlight of the day is always the freebie part. One day, I was given a sterling silver heart that had an opal in it. Another day I was handed an antique money bank. Today, it was a Victorian sterling locket look-alike.
A freebie a week keeps the antique geek happy and meek.

Boy, that is cool to get a freebie along with some good buys! Wish there were something like that near here.
Definitely a good way to ensure customer loyalty!
I wish there was a store near me like that, I'm in desperate need of furniture at a good price...and I like old stuff.
Those sound like some damn nice freebies.
