What are the Odds?

I had an amazing thing happen the other day that I'm still shaking my head over! I made plans to drive to Vancouver to look at some antlers and some concrete deer for sale. There were two places I called about for the antlers, and I kinda questioned one of them because of the location, so I decided not to go to that one...well, I picked up some antlers at the first location and then went to see the concrete deers. The lady who was selling them said that a guy was coming to see them before me, and may not get them if they are too heavy...well, he didn't get them because they were too heavy for him to carry downstairs!  I don't know what made me think I could carry them, but as I was going up the stairs to the apartment, three guys were heading up there as well, so I mentioned I could use some muscles if they didn't mind helping me! So as they are putting them in the car they notice the antlers in the car I just bought, and one of them said he had just posted an ad for moose and elk antlers on Craigslist and I asked if his name was Rick and he said YES!! He was the guy I was supposed to go see and decided not too! Well, I ended up following him to his house to see his antlers and he ended up giving me a great deal and also had some amazing crystal chandeliers for sale! What are the odds of that happening!! If he hadn't shown up at that exact time, I wouldn't have been able to buy the deer, and would have missed the opportunity to get all the cool stuff from him! Unbelievable!! 
 



I think I am going to have to keep one of these Chandeliers for myself as a remembrance of this special day!

Precious Find

Well... I've found a really sweet statue for the Grotto,
 but it isn't quite tall enough...




This hunt has been amazing!
I'm finding the coolest stuff everywhere I look!
Check out some of these other treasures!






This little mossy Gnome sold within 10 minutes of setting him on a pedestal!




The hunt continues...
