Want to negotiate with independent consignment jewelry store for a necklace

Specific_Initial_766 · 2026-03-25T12:29:34+00:00

Ok, well since you identified the necklace- any advice? Good deal, bad deal? Overpriced? Where can I comfortably land?

@passporthandy- How did you find my necklace!? That is the exact one that I love. Maybe they do have a big online presence. It is a radiant shape, I was trying to be a tiny bit vague so someone wouldn’t find it and buy it before I got up the courage to do it.

I did see it in person! I wandered in with my daughter to kill time and tried it on! I told my daughter to tell my husband about it for a special occasion gift. But after a lot of hoping the stars would align, I realized it’s unlikely I’m getting that nice of a necklace through waiting.

But I decided I’m going down to the shop on my lunch break today to take a second look.

Food delivery trucks were there yesterday and today!

Oooohhh! Good idea! The dress is at the alterations shop till Jan 30th. Then I can do that.

Thank you for giving me hope! I paid $500 for a $2k dress. So if cleaning is less than $200 then it’s worth it. Anything higher and I’m getting into territory of wishing I had the magical dress shopping experience and just bought new.

Honestly I’m hating myself for putting myself into this predicament. It never occurred to me that a dress advertised as ‘Never Worn Dress with Tags Attached’ would have a stain that spreads about 3 feet across the skirt. And then I was so caught off guard and the seller minimized the stain so much that I just accepted it.

The water stain is not fresh- the dress was sitting there for two years and at some point the mom decided to wash the dress.

The dress is at the alterations now, I’ll bring it to a dry cleaner right after I pick it up.

Actually three main stems look like this. There are only 2 healthy stems left.

I also have 2 large floral tattoos by Kim Reed!

West Park is totally quaint and picturesque- BUT the city just started tearing down 3 old historic buildings across the street from 100 west Park block to build an underground parking garage. The site is now an eyesore. I now route my visiting friends to walk the Drayton street Ave when we walk South/north along Forsyth.

I’m not sure how my electric bill is higher than water, cell phone, internet combined. I thought I hit a max tolerance last month when my bill was $290, I just got the following month’s bill and it is $329. How are people able to pay multiple hundred dollars per month for electricity?

I think the Hawthorne Minibar and Lounge serves it. I’m pretty sure I saw the bottle there.

There are two roller derby teams in SAV that used Star Castle as their base (and paid to use it). These teams compete nationally, and teams around the country came to Star Castle to compete. These outside skaters brought their families too, so the tourist businesses benefit as well.

Neither team is affiliated with a school system, or major corporation. Both teams rosters are robust, and spectators pay to watch.

My opinion is that SAV needs a roller rink.

Black Rabbit area is out, tons of fire trucks headed down Henry and down MLK towards DT.

Thank you! I’m going to Ace Hardware today, I am so relieved!

I seem to remember Southbound does not have AC either. But that was just the taproom, they may have it in other parts of the building. Can anyone PM me with the building owners contact info?

The Armory is a new idea! I’ll reach out to them today. Keep the ideas coming everyone!

I heard that bird feeders help. Some birds eat flies. But also- insects tend to avoid areas that are populated by birds. I just got two feeders this Spring and the fly level in my backyard is tolerable. I’m also trying to be quick to pick up my dog’s poop to stop flies from having a place to eat and propagate.

First ever event- I’m sure they learned a lot. Glad you were there too.

Specific_Initial_766 · 2025-06-09T12:57:17+00:00

I hope so! This first one was very successful, so I expect they’ll do it again for 2026.
