<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zinnie, post: 439029, member: 9303&quot;]I love this story - and the statue!&nbsp; And I love &quot;H is for Hawk&quot; - I&#039;ve read it twice before and was thinking I&#039;d like to read again this winter, it&#039;s so full and amazing.&nbsp; It&#039;s also a lovely, and true, serendipitous story. </p><p><br /></p><p>But finding this statue at the same time of reading the book is the winning event and says how providence at times is so much a part of our lives while also being ethereal enough to not realize it happened until later....so I&#039;m wondering how many of you find exact (or close to) things you were just thinking about, both pointedly and laterally?&nbsp; Or if saying so will then stop the process?&nbsp; I know a very open mind is also necessary when perusing the shops...but even so. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; edit: Kimbert&#039;s recent stunning find is one, certainly!</p><p><br /></p><p>I once recognized this quite consciously when finding a pair of affordable jeans that actually fit - at a very small thrift store - when I didn&#039;t have the $30 (or more!) to spend on new ones.&nbsp; But I&#039;m sure I&#039;ve had other experiences of this kind and you guys, as collectors of specific items, perhaps more so since you&#039;re out looking for these on a regular basis.&nbsp; But those times when the odds are...well, just a thought. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I have a couple things to add here although they weren&#039;t bought this year but instead found in all my stuff (not the paintings) as I was busy cleaning, sorting, clearing...I&#039;ll post soon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
