Sweet Serendipity

 After reading the definition of serendipity on  Dictionary.com (which I actually spend more time on than I would like to admit), I will sum it up as a "fortunate accident," or something good that happened when you weren't expecting it.

My husband and I have been looking for a new entertainment center lately because he has decided that we needed a bigger TV, and in all honesty, we did need a new TV as ours is so old and the color has serious issues.  Let us just say people on it have purple faces and green hair (not that attractive when you aren't an oompa loompa).  Not to mention my 2 year old totally thinks that Lightening McQueen is blue. 

 Well, we have been looking and looking forever for an entertainment center!!  I had to have doors on it that closed so we could protect it from flying footballs and games of "keep away" that are frequent when one has 4 boys.

We looked for months.  Nobody seemed to sell entertainment centers that were the armoire style for that big of a TV.  Finally we stopped looking and decided to have someone build it.  Wouldn't you know it his life got super busy the second we had our first meeting with him and we had been waiting 2 weeks just to get a big.

 In the mean time I had stopped looking around for an entertainment center until last night I was getting a bit exasperated with this process and decided to look online again and guess what.  Serendipitously we found the EXACT entertainment center that I had told this guy I wanted him to build for way cheaper than he could have built it!!!!

We picked it up tonight and it is beautiful!  I love with when that happens.  You know when you see something you LOVE and that one time that they have it in your size and it happens to be on sale.  Best feeling ever. 

 Another moment of serendipity happened when I fell in love with the peplum look and found it in my closet!!  Who would guess I would already have a new trend. 

 I had sort of forgotten about this top and loved pulling it out for a (lately very rare), warm day.  I am also debuting my sandals that I LOVE.  When I was a little girl the older cool girls wore these.  I always wanted a pair so a few years ago when I found them at Esprit I had to get them.  And I don't know if I will ever stop loving them.  It's sort of like a first love, only it was a first fashion love. I'll probably be 99 and still wearing them :)

I also fell in love with this style of purse when I was in 9th grade and my friend brought one back from a trip to Mexico.  I looked for one for years without any luck and guess what???  They are back!!  I need one!!
