Serendipity
No, not white, but pink ... not a usual choice for me these days. But as I roamed through a local antique shop on a rainy afternoon recently and spotted this vintage galvanized steel milk box, chippy and oh-so-pink, I was completely charmed! I envisioned a woman in a ruffled apron, decades ago, happily painting her milk box to add cheer to her small covered porch. It was on sale and I really had to have it.
Though I loved it, still I thought to myself, "If only it were blue..."
Two days later, I curiously went online to price-check these lovely old boxes, and lo and behold, what did I see....?
Only one blue milk box on all the Web, and there it was, waiting for me!
Ah, serendipity and simple pleasures ... reason to smile.
