Gold Diggin' Gal Hits Paydirt

In case anyone was still "watching for watches" for my Christmas breakfast table, I just wanted to say thanks. I have all I need now.

I needed 8, had 3, got a lovely 4th from Krista (thanks again!) and then hit paydirt at a church yard sale. Some guy had a table where he had a bin full of mens' and ladies' broken watches. When I had gathered the 4 pretty ones in silver and gold that I wanted, I asked what he'd like for them. (I didn't want to spend more than 4 bucks.)

It was nearly the close of the day and he said, "Well, I was asking a buck apiece, but seeings as you've got a handful there, how about...oh....uh...a dollar for all?"

Wow. Twenty-five cents each for my remaining lovely napkin rings. Perfect! Felt as if God was smiling during the transaction. Can we safely say, then, that going to that yard sale "panned out" for me?

Sweet! :o)

Ya know, I was just wondering today whether you'd found all that you needed.
