For the most part, I am the type of person who has their mind made up about what I like before I buy it. I know my tastes well and don’t deviate from them very much. I do not need to go shopping and look around at what every store has to figure what I like. When I saw a picture of a Jessica McClintock bridal gown in a magazine, I knew instantly that was the wedding dress I wanted. My mom and I went out for a few hours one day and found the knock off and that was that. Then, once I saw a picture of the 20th Century Theater online, I knew that was the place I was going to get married…and sure enough within a few days, we had it booked.
The same is true for baby cribs. I have not shopped or really thought about baby stuff at all yet. However, I have looked at some nursery ideas, and I knew right away that I wanted a white, vintage-looking crib. After a little research, I discovered the crib I love is the Delta Luv 3 in 1 Jenny Lind crib. Last night I decided to browse Craigslist to see if there were any cribs similar to the style I liked. Since I am drawn to the “older-looking style”, I thought there was a good chance I could find an older crib that I could fix up if need be. Well, much to my surprise, there was an ad for a brand new (still in the box) Delta Luv 3 in 1 Jenny Lind crib in white for $125! I was so excited and we tried to call last night and could not get through to the seller. I tried calling again this morning and the woman said the crib is still available and that they have dropped the price to $100! And the best part? They are going to deliver it for FREE this evening!
I have not been having a good day today, but this little bit of good news definitely helped make it a little better :)
