Thanks for that Strattobuddy. My take on this, would have not to put it up for auction, but to have it on display at various venues, yes even the Butler & Wilson shop. Great publicity for Diamonique, capturing an audience of those who never, or are unable to watch QVC.
Wherever the crown is now, I find it a great shame that something so beautifully done is only in the possession of one person, rather than being enjoyed by many. I know you were willing to purchase this Strattobuddy, but can I ask where it would sit in your home, or had you another purpose for it ?
