The dictionary defines Serendipity as "an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident". That is what happened this morning.
I was driving home from an early morning meeting and kept seeing signs here and there for garage sales and yard sales. After driving past a few I just picked one and followed the signs to the address listed. Now mind you it's been over a year since I have stopped at a yard sale. I usually gravitate to the table with dishes or kitchenware. I wasn't really expecting to see anything in particular. Much to my surprise I saw a stack of plates on the corner of the table.
When I looked closer I noticed it was the same exact pattern of some dishes I bought years ago at an antique store in Orange. Well, I bought the dishes for... ready?
$2 for the whole stack. Yes! I drove away with a big smile on my face.
Then noticed another yard sale a few blocks further down. Why not I thought! There were no dishes here and as I was about to walk away and drive home I saw this...
It's a beautiful, old, four drawer solid wood cabinet.
No pressed wood or particle board here! I took it home for $60.
I love it when these little completely unplanned surprises happen.
