Thrift store Serendipity

Serendipity--the word has been voted to be in the top ten of the hardest English words to translate. It's defined as "making fortunate discoveries by accident." I think that the place where the most serendipity ever occurs is in the thrift store.

Months ago i found a gold candle holder that i loved. What good is having a single candle holder to most people? Those candle holders usually come in sets, but i liked it and i got it anyway.

Then a couple of days a go...there was a fortunate discovery by accident



I found the same candle holder only painted in a bone-like color. They were meant to be together. I love the excitement of these little discoveries at thrift stores. Sometimes, somethings you randomly come across find are so perfect for you it is fate put them there. Serendipity.
