Yes, you heard it right. This beauty was at the end of my neighbor's driveway waiting for the trash man to get it in the morning. I am guilty of not speaking a lot to my neighbors. We all do the polite wave and smile but I don't really know them. When I saw my neighbor putting this at the end of his drive, I thought could this really be?! Could I be one of those people that can get a deal of the century. You know, every time I go to a yard sale, thrift store, or flea market, I have dreamed about finding a gem for an unbelievable price that I only seem to read about in the magazines. Well, today I feel like that dream came true.
I first went to my neighbor's door to ask and make sure they really were getting rid of it. Unfortunately, they did not answer. So, I continued to their next door neighbors, which is a lovely couple from my church. They said I should just take it. Well, while we were talking a car came to a halt and woman jumped out and starting loading the drawers in her car. My heart sank! I mean, I was 2 minutes too late. Well, apparently after she couldn't get it into her trunk, she must have made a call for help. Within a minute, a man came. Luckily, he must have talked her out of it because they left it! I didn't hesitate to grab it take it to my house. I haven't figured out if I'll paint it or refinish the top for my son's room. I think the missing drawer will make a nice cubby hole for books.
So, I learned to never hesitate when it comes to free stuff and never ask a man for help if he may talk you out of it.
