A Fond afternoon

The best way, for me, to spend an afternoon is by wandering through second hand stores, antique stores and junk shops.  I find the greatest treasures there.  What seems useless to one person is the beginning of creation for another.  I look for those things that, in their day, were useful.  Somehow those items lost their purpose and were discarded.  How many times have we found those cut glass candleholders and passed them by because there was nothing noteworthy or unique?  How many times have we walked past the candleholders that were dinged and chipped because their appearance was old and used?  There are always shelves full of discarded art and frames.  These things can be brought to life with a little creativity and time and then, once again, become a thing of interest and beauty.  May they find a place in your home.
