The unusual find of the week

Yesterday I stopped in at my favorite thrift for a quick browse before work. Not much of anything jumped out at me, save for a really pretty scard that was half off, so $1 instead of $2. Looked at the rack of odds and ends near the door and found easily the most unusual find in a while.
A bag of Prisma colored art pencils, a dozen of them, for $.60, brand new never used, not even sharpened. What's so unusual about that? Every blessed one of them was bright screamin' lime green. I bought them anyway, DD being a design student and all. She said they are the brand they use in her studio classes and run about $2 a piece, and they used that color surprizingly more than you might guess. I said great, she could give one to every student in her class and I would still be ahead. She said no, she would just keep them and let the class wonder. Her studio classes seem a dull bunch from what she says. Strange for design students. OH well, I did good.
Edited to add lime green seems to be the color for the week. A while back, some months ago anyway, I found some lime green stretch lace at a thrift. Odd color for a stretch lace, and I bought what there was. Used some on a dress for DD (she is a redhead) and I had a little over a yeard left. Last week a sewing buddy was looking for stretch lace,she was desperate so any color would do. I offered the scrap to her and she was thrilled. Seems she is making a dress and needed some for the neckline. Lime green it seems would be perfect. I've said it before, when I find it someone seems to need it. Never seems to fail.
