When Craigslist isn't great

Good Monday to you:)

I hope you are well.

 

I usually LOVE Craigslist!

I have gotten most of my furniture

from there.

Sometimes there are yucky people

selling things on Craigslist

and today I found one of them!

Last night I found two beautiful

designer white slipcovered love seats

for sale.

I spoke with the seller via

e mail and let her know I was interested.

This morning at 11:30 she gave me her

address and said I could come and get

them at 2:00pm.

I rented a U~Haul 10ft. truck

and set off for Lake Oswego.

The house was just above the lake....

such a pretty drive:)

Although, I didn't enjoy it that much

because I was trying for the first time

EVER to maneuver a 10ft. U~Haul truck!

I arrived at said place and rang the doorbell.

The garage door came up and her husband

came out and said "didn't you get the e mail?"

Uh.....

NO!

I don't check my e mail every two hours!

He said he was so sorry but someone who had looked at the

sofas yesterday were coming to buy them

and that his wife did e mail me at 12:15pm.

I said NO, I didn't get the e mail and

I just spent $50 to rent this U~Haul!

There must be something he could do as

I was here with a truck and money.....

All he could say was he was sooooo sorry

and that his wife wasn't there.

So I hopped up into that 10ft. U~Haul

and cried my way back to return the U~Haul.

When I reached the counter I explained the reason

I had only been gone 30 minutes.

That nice man at the register was my Santa Claus

today!

He told me not to worry about paying for the

U~Haul and that I was free to go.

I cried again~

I profusely thanked this nice man and let him know

how much I appreciated him!

There are still good people in this world!

 

 

I had more of my afternoon to myself because

my kiddos & Mr. SSH were on the mountain skiing.

So, what is a girl to do when on hwy 99?

Go to Goodwill of course:)

I will show you what I found tomorrow.

On the way home from Goodwill I stopped by

another thrift store and found little

sparkling white star candle holders for .99.

Here is what I did with them:

 

 

I used a bucket I already had

and filled it with fake snow that

I already had.

I have had these little candles for years....

they finally have a use:)

 

 

I can't wait to light them:)

 

 

Have you experienced amazingly kind people lately?
