Sunday I happened upon a find that made me so giddy I literally jumped up and down. For probably an entire minute. I even considered throwing caution to the wind and hugging the seller, paying no mind to the sweat stains on his T-shirt. But…I came to my senses. And calmed down.
This is what caused all the excitement:
A complete set of stamps, in the original wooden box — all for a bargain price. And I just happened to have something that would complement these stamps perfectly:
Stamping kits. Oh, how I love them. Old ink. Old stamp pad. Ready and waiting for some vintage stamps.
Only the marriage was never meant to be.
As I was working on my space later Sunday afternoon, some really nice women stopped by. I pulled the stamps out from under a pile of junk, and they were as excited as I had been. Bought them on the spot. I hadn’t even had time to give proper love to my purchase. It was a bittersweet moment.
Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE to sell. But when you buy what you love, sometimes you experience a bit of separation anxiety. The good news, of course, is that there are always more treasures out there waiting to be discovered.
Bring on the good junk!
