First, the history...
When I was here visiting in July, I checked out this cool new antique store with my mom and my sis. I fell completely in LOVE with a gorgeous old dresser. I wanted to buy it on the spot with the tip money I had earned, but decided that wasn't a good idea since I didn't live here yet and wouldn't have anywhere to store it. Plus, I had a trip home to afford. I couldn't justify spending the money but I really wanted to.
Just this weekend, Cal & I went back to that antique shop and sure enough that dresser was still there! I was a little irritated because the price had doubled, but I was still determined to come back and buy it as soon as I could. In fact, I told the owner on my way out, "I'm going to come back and buy that blue dresser as soon as I save enough. I hope you still have it!".
Last night, we went to our new house to start cleaning to prep for our move in. I walked in the front door only to find that one single piece of furniture in the house. A lonely, beautiful dresser was sitting in the front room! I couldn't believe it. I whipped around and yelled at my mom and Cal, "WHO DID THIS???"
As it turns out, my mom had made arrangements over a month ago to buy it for me, thus the doubled price. When I stopped by the antique shop over the weekend, the store owner was chuckling at me because I didn't know that the dresser was already mine.
I am so excited about it, I can't even tell you! So here are some pictures of my new/old piece of furniture. Is my mom awesome or what? (this is our new room but we'll be changing the wall color soon)
Also, for Christmas, my parents bought me a gorgeous antique vanity set. Obviously, I really enjoy antiques and vintage things. My mom already knew at Christmas that I'd have the dresser to rest these one. I had no idea.
