Treasure Hunting




Another day of project "Isabella" began at the Wayzata Community Church huge rainy muddy rummage sale. It was complete with laminated directional signs, where we were pointed to the "Marketplace." We scoured for beautiful hidden treasures...while someone else scoured for a different kind of beautiful treasure. Yes, Natalie!...there was a man "looking for mirrors"...and he was "looking for frames" too. Natalie deflected the distraction politely, only to be confronted by a middle-aged woman pointing at the frames under Natalie's arm saying "oh, look at those. I grew up with these on the wall and we had four girls in our family and we would all argue to be like 'I'm her, No! I'm her! and"...It was touching. Despite the cash-only sign at the check-out, we soon made it over to the Home Depot for the perfect bronze metallic paint to unify our frame-treasures.
