Thanks Brittany!
My purchases are made with the intent of keeping them - especially the books and record albums.
I didn't realize that browsing for bargains in thrift shops has become so "high tech"?!

Have I ever told you the story of "Angélique"? I knew it was an expensive book online (like $50) and I found it at a used bookstore as well as a couple of other books in the series. Before I sold it, I was curious about it and why it was so expensive (that's a whole other story), so I read it, and now that first book is worth much more to me than $50 and I refuse to part with it, even though I have since acquired another one that is hardcover and in nicer shape! Anyway, just reading that book instead of selling it really changed my life, I think.

And that was just from memory, no scanner! *bows*

"serendipity" perhaps?! :)
or, - as LauraG sometimes calls it - "synchronicity" ?! :)

sometimes - you'll find things in the most unexpected places ...
good things ...
things that you weren't - or, didn't even know that you were - looking for ...
but it seems as if they were "looking" for you?! :)
