‘The worst was a donation of ashes in a teapot’

The charity shop I work in is in my village, and I began volunteering there to get some experience for my CV. The best thing that has ever been donated was a Chanel bag, which we sold on eBay for slightly less than £1,000. But the best item I have ever bought for myself was, without a doubt, a vodka decanter in the shape of a rooster. It’s just so cool! I’ve never seen anything similar and it’s in such good condition.
