cwhat would is the strangest coincidences you have had in your shop.

I once had a ffabric picture brought in of Ayres Rock purchased at the foot of the rock ,
The very next customer brought in an almost identical picture signed by the same fella purchased from the same place but purchased 1 year earlier. This these were hand done pieces not your normal carp. I haven't had one in before or since.
they both came to the same shop in sheffield 20 mins apart after buying art from the same bloke 12000 miles away 1 year apart.

not as big but had a woman bring in a LE print of a map thing, rolled in tube etc

got it framed etc

while it was waiting for collection a woman comes in with a bunch of stuff to frame, and a tube, exactly the same thing, and what really freaked her out was when i say the label i knew what it was. and said before opening oh this is one of those maps blah blah blah

well ya woman nearly fell over, i think she thought she had something special and no one would of seen lol

I had 3 Nick Walker's (http://www.theartofnickwalker.com/gallery/ ) Empire State Building L/E prints in on one Saturday that made 5 for the whole week

We were each serving a customer on Saturday morning - mine was Mrs Knight and his was Mrs Day

lol that reminds me of another we had, a customer brought in some Sherlock Holmes memorabilia to be framed and the next person in the line was Mr Watson would have been better if he was a Dr.

My shop number is 839!!!!

I once had a customer in who was the spitting image of my husbands best mate. When I took the job and asked his name, he actually had the same name too.

You never know.... his best mate may have been your husband.

We had guests staying with us from Brooklyn, NY, and as I brought them back from the airport a customer turned up with a photograph of Brooklyn bridge. It's the little things that make you laugh.
