Blowing in the Wind...

Over at my bloggy friend, Amy's, she was blogging about little treasures, she felt God had given her...and it got me to thinkin' about all the little treasures that had to be God, because it couldn't be accident.  

This week, I found a little treasure on the side of the road...
                        not just a random something, that I thought was cool,
           but an inspiration piece, 
which I've longed to have in my laundry room, for quite some time. 

I've gone back to this photo of the red legged wash tub sink,  
                                                                                     so many times. 

               Sorry, I've seen it a lot in blog land, but don't know it's owner...

                   

Since, I don't have a laundry room sink, 

I wanted it   for my dirty laundry, instead... 

I know where I can buy washtubs on a stand, but just love it when they fall from heaven...

I think this one I found will work just fine...

All this got me to thinkin' about when my only daughter and I were planning her wedding, a little over six years ago.

Besides necessity, we both enjoy and realize the benefits of sticking to a budget, soon she fixed up an excel sheet and we went to planning, buying and creating. We really prayed over the financial part, I knew my only daughter wouldn't enjoy her wedding, if she felt it had put us in debt or really in a bind in anyway, and I also knew, she was our only daughter, so in the quest to make it special,  my creative side reawakened.

We found her dress at a little shop, where the people were retiring. They only had about two dresses, left. We were in and out, with the dress and petticoat...in less than 30 minutes. The dress fit her perfectly, needing no alterations, costing way less than most prom dresses. One of the last items she needed was a full strapless bra, you ladies know the kind, and know they aren't cheap.

Anyway, one afternoon, as she walked in from  college, she giggled, "You will never guess what I bought today, and it was just blowing in the wind". For some strange reason, I guessed, "A bra!"  Sure enough, as her car rounded this corner, where a clothes store, that typically does not sell bras...had a full strapless bra, hanging on a clothesline, along with other apparel, just blowing in the wind! After seeing it was her size, she inquired about the price. It was ONE DOLLAR! really, no kidding! So, yep...my little wash tub kind of thing, got me to 
                         thinkin'

Sure, I  know the difference, between my junk treasures and Real treasures, 
but I am still thankful, my Savior, personally knows the little things, 
that make me say, "Yippee", when I see it on the side of the road!
