So, you know how I've been rather myopic in my pursuit of a library card catalog? Scouring Craigslist nightly to no avail? What did I find whilst walking into my favorite thrift store?
This 78 drawer beauty is to be our new family time capsule. Its salvage from the College library across the street. A stamp on the side says that it was custom made by a wood makers guild mid-century. I plan to fill a drawer a year to store pressed leaves, baby hospital bracelets, shells, ticket stubs, and other trinkets that don't fit into our photo albums. We'll bring everything out to review on New Year's as a family tradition. This year on December 31st, we'll open it to find invites for a "secret pizza party," prophetic Chinese fortunes, and tiny prizes from our first trip to the fair.
