One man’s junk is another’s treasure
How often have we heard that? I certainly lucked out the other day, while browsing a thrift shop with a friend, I saw a chair out of the corner of my eye that I really liked. Turned out, the chair was in mint condition, and for some reason, the shop was having a sale on furniture, it was reduced from $45. to $9;99. Now you know I was gonna have to make room. All the cards fell into place, the car had been recently cleaned out so we could pack for our holiday. The young man easily got it into the car (after checking that the sale price was right ).. it was.. and we now have a new chair. So what is the big deal. WELL…. in life, the idea is to unclutter, simplicity is really the best way to live an uncomplicated life.
I had previously said that anything new coming in, meant something should go /be recycled. Since the new chair arrived, I have not parted with another piece of furniture. I did pass along two side tables about a week ago to my niece, does that count? hmmmm somehow I think I should do more. Last week-end I took about 5 pounds maybe more, of costume jewelry to a “thrift” show for recycling. does that count? What a dilemma. I derive great pleasure looking at this chair. No! although I find it very comfortable to sit in, VERY much so, it swivels and rocks, and this I don’t like. I enjoy looking at the chair..
It is like found treasure, only another treasure hunter would understand. any one else out there that shares this “little’ idiosyncrasy?
We are leaving for a short holiday, I will not be in SL (second life) for awhile, LOL this pictures shows my avatar chilling, you can see she is already in the mode for a vacation. Now all I have to do is finishing packing, the chair unfortunately can’t come, wonder if I will still be enthralled with it when I get back?
