Shari has found many amazing items/treasures at Goodwill, from artwork to clothing, to gifts. One of her inspirations early on was a fine porcelain plate, a limited edition through the Franklin Mint by artist Erté (House of Erté). The name of the plate is “La Merveilleuse.”

Inspired to research the artist and continue her search for more pieces by Erté, Shari's collection has grown to over 20 pieces. She purchased the first plate for $3.99 at Goodwill in Milwaukee, and on Ebay the plates go for $75-$500.Shari now have the whole series in this collection of plates.

"Thank you Goodwill for keeping me on my toes and inspiring me to journey beyond. Shopping at Goodwill is part of serving my community is a positive way!! The Hand that gives gathers!! Peace and Blessings!"
