Score! A wicker set!

I am one LUCKY girl!  My sweet neighbor, Barb called me one morning while I was driving to work.  She had just spotted a wicker set in the alley next to someone's garbage.  She is like me - no shame.  :)  She asked when I'd get done with work as she thought it looked just "like me".  I wasn't going to be done until 4:30 or 5:00 at the earliest and I said if it was gone, that it wasn't meant to be for me.  That is part of the thrill of the chase!

Well, I pulled into my alley after work and remembered the wicker at that moment, so decided I'd drive past our garage and drive to where she said she had seen it. I was hoping it would still be there.  As our garage came into view, this is what I saw - all set up and waiting for me.  

I hope your neighbors are looking out for you like mine are looking out for me.  :)

I have a biet of a find story:
My hubby had just been let go at work, as i took my son into another neighborhood for a birthday party I spied a vintage, ornate Iron table with glass top at a garge sale... after dropping of my son i stopped to see how much, $10 that's all. having a young family and we being newly unemployed I swiftly drove (before cell phones) to my good friends home, rang the bell got her out of the shower and told her of the fabulous deal that I could not take with good contience but could she please get it it!! It was there waiting for her!!! She loved it!
My gift was getting the find to the right person! :)
I bet you will breath new beautiful life into your new wicker!!

With Kindness,
Mary
