Reading blogs can be good

As it happened, at the exact time one blogger was giving a heads-up to another blogger about an auction in Virginia, I was reading that blog and as it happened, I was soon to be on my way from the north to the south with a planned stop in that exact part of Virginia at the exact time the auction was taking place. And, as it happened, Mr. Man say, sure honey, we can spend the whole day at the auction.

So we did. And I won a few things.

vintage wool blanket

  some kind of oddish lamp that nobody else wanted

desk chair

the exact desk chair I wanted

at a decent price

authentic

a vase

not nearly big enough

so, why can’t I find big, jumbo accessories?

why?
