@oregon101 , One year I too brought a truly awful landscape painting from a thrift store. The next year it appeared again, but the new owner had painted in some people to make it “better.” Following year it appeared with the addition of LED Christmas lights on the frame. I think we retired it after that.
Another funny one with that group was a tea tray designed for putting photos under the glass, except the couple that brought it put in lovey-dovey selfies of THEMSELVES: clinking champagne glasses over dinner, hand-in-hand as they walked on the beach . . .
