Are you a picker sister? Does your heart ache when you look at this old rusty, junky tractor?
Dr Quirky's top 3 for diagnosing a 'Picker Sister'
1. A money savvy chic (aka. POOR) who scavengers for junk,2. Finds beauty in restoring, re-purposing or up-cycling the junk,
3. Sells the junk (selling item is not essential to being a picker sister but is definitely a motivator to some picker sisters, ie. me).
Other definitions - Dumpster Diver, Junk finder, Kerb side stopper , Tip yard hunter, Thrift-er, Op shopper. Please add your definition in comments. Quirky Comforts does not condone Dumpster Diving........unless it is for a good coarse, ie to feed your kids.
Do you identify with any or all the above? Score 1-3
