My GREAT buy!!!
So, my sister, mom and grandparents have been decorating and organizing the nursery for me this weekend. I had a shower at the hospital (which, by the way, was SO cute and sweet!! I'll post pictures later), and so they all took the goodies back to our house to put things away and do some finishing touches to the nursery. I hope to send my camera home for someone to take pictures for me to post. It was actually pretty cool, because we learned to iChat on our Mac laptops, so I was able to see some of the things they were doing on the video chat! We ended up deciding on some different placements on the wall for some things than we originally had thought, so we now need something else to hang above the changing table/dresser. My sister had suggested a mirror. I remembered this cool mirror that my roommates and I had in our town home that we rented my senior year. The mirror was from Ikea. Well, I checked it out, and Ikea still carries the same mirror but not in the pink and orange color that I want for the nursery. So, I started searching online. I only found ONE posting on EBay for this mirror in the color that I wanted. The bid was at $0.99. I didn't want to get into a bidding war, so I emailed the seller to see if she would do a "Buy It Now" for me and I'd buy it for $20. She emailed me back that she can't change it once another person has bid on it, which meant I would just have to bid on it myself. I waited until less than two minutes to place my maximum bid. Of course I put a bid as high as I was willing to pay, but hoped to get it for less. Well....I won the bid for a whopping $1.04!!! I can't believe it! I was so excited to get such a good deal! Here is the picture:
