Sometimes when I am shopping I come across a piece of furniture or a plate or
some fabric that I love, but think it is too expensive, so I pass it up. That's how I
felt when I first saw this dish at a consignment shop. Loved it, but thought to
myself ~ too pricey. I set it back down and walked away, hoping that the price
might be reduced, and if should sell before that happened it was just not
meant to be mine.
The other day I was in the same shop looking for a chandy for a remodel job when I
spotted this dish once again and noticed the price was reduced. This time it was a
bargain and I could not pass it up. It pays to be patient!
Okay girls it's time for the first Pink Saturday for 2012!
I'll share a little secret with you ~ Bentley has great patience!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Isn't it fun to find something you want that has become a bargain? That feels like a green light from the Universe, saying "Yes, it belongs to you!" :)

ReplyDeleteI often do the same thing--your patience paid off! That is a gorgeous little dish. Those tiny pink flowers are my FAVORITE type to find on dishes!
ReplyDeleteI'll do the same as well...and I've recently found 3 great chandys to re-do !
ReplyDeletehope your new year is going great ...
I do exactly the same thing. So glad it worked out for you and that you bought that lovely dish! Happy PS and Happy 2012!
ReplyDeleteIt's always worth the wait if you really want something and can walk away with a bargin. I am happy the beautiful dish was yours.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday,

Beautiful dish! I do that also, wait to see if the price goes down and if it's gone, then it wasn't meant to be mine! Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteI have no patience, but I have a lot of restraint, if that makes sense. I bet you are glad you waited...it really is pretty!
ReplyDeleteXO,

Don't you just love a bargain! We have a consignment shop and I always try to "hold out" on items with the same thoughts "If it was meant to be..."
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
I'm a bit late in popping over to wish a very Happy New Year to you and your family, I hope 2012 is kind to you and that you get all you could possibly wish for xxx
ReplyDeleteOh it's wonderful and I can surely see why you wanted to bring it home.
ReplyDeleteSee it was meant to be...patience does pay off!
ReplyDeleteSusan ~ We are so much alike. I have done that time and again. Sometimes, I go back and it's not there ~ sigh ~ it's not meant to be. Other times it is there ~ YIPPEE ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly did pay to be patient - it's so pretty. My thinking is that if it's meant to be it will be.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan and Bentley,
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely piece, I think it was waiting for you patiently:-)
