Ooh.

Just looked up providence: an influence which is not human in origin and is thought to control whether or not people receive the things which they need

Maybe she's getting her information from God.

Yup, perhaps the Trinity is advising her on how many Juicy Couture panties to buy and reseel.

(Disclaimer: I was searching Orla Kiely scatves.)

PROVENANCE

You are definitely correct Chaos

Providence is something different entirely.

Maybe she should try lokking in a dictionary, Chaos Wink

cozietoesie · 11/11/2012 08:31

Drop her a subtle ASQ, Chaos, mentioning the word 'provenance' (spelled correctly.) Maybe she'll take the hint.
