Inspired by Kyle MacDonald, who traded His Way from a single red paperclip to A House , in a series of online trades in 2006, Ms Skipper swapped the hairpin for a pair of cheap earrings.

Free food

After a frustrating Two Weeks of searching, Ms Skipper traded the necklace for a Peloton exercise bike worth $1,800.

The Peloton bike was traded up to a Mustang - and by last December, Ms Skipper had traded up to a tiny woodland cabin.

The Cabin became a Honda CRV, then three tractors, then a Chipotle celebrity card entitling her to a year's worth of free food and a catered party.

A video she uploaded shows The Moment she saw her house for the First Time .
