Something happened today that I think only my fellow LHCers would understand. I'm a hairstylist (not an evil one though, I can assure you lol). So, a woman came in and sat down in the stylist's chair next to me to get her hair cut. She had her hair up in a twist held with a black border Ficcare. It was gorgeous!! I couldn't help but stare at the beautiful clip.
As she was getting her hair cut, I told her "that is such a pretty Ficcare!"
She looked at me in confusion and said "a pretty what??" She had no idea what I was referring to. So I pointed to her Ficcare sitting on the counter and again complimented her clip.
She said "oh this dingy old thing?? I've had this for years! My daughter picked it up at a garage sale for 50 cents".
My jaw hit the floor. After telling her what a rare jewel she possessed, her jaw dropped too. She had no idea how valuable this clip is, and what some would be willing to pay for it. She did say that this clip was the best clip she had ever had, and she would definitely keep it for many more years to come.
This little exchange made my day and I thought my fellow Ficcare lovers would get a chuckle out of it too :D
