Today was my afternoon for "Me Time". It was so nice to get out and not really have anything I needed to do. I went to my two favorite antique/consignment stores, and poked around. At the first stop, I was scouring the place looking for owls. I had to keep telling myself, "when I'm looking for them, I'm not going to find them". I knew I just needed to relax and trust.
On the ride over to the second store, I really relaxed and reminded myself why I was going to this store- because I love to browse, and see all the neat things there. I wasn't going JUST looking for owls. I was looking at everything- if there was an owl somewhere in that store, it would find me.
And find me it did! Along with his twin, sitting right on the shelf next to him. :)
I walked in the store, and had a brief conversation with the two women at the desk. Then I headed for the huge floor to ceiling cabinets, where I always start my browsing. The first cabinet is full of old tools, so I always skip it and start looking in the second cabinet. The VERY FIRST THING I saw when I looked up into the second cabinet was a pair of dark brown owls. I'm guessing they were bookends, about 6 or 7 inches tall.
I didn't see another owl in the whole shop! But those two were enough for me.
Seems like I'm on an "every other day" pattern.
