I will attempt to introduce myself</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">in a manner that is not altogether vainglorious.</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">I have been collecting wonderful must-haves </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">(any one who does the same can relate) </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">since I can remember. Once they lose their luster </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">(or is it the fancier 'lustre'?) , </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">I stash them in the Cave under the Tinder Box</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">for another time. </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">Once in a while, I go to the Cave to find </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">an object, not sure just what I’m looking for </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">and then up</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">from the depths pops something that says</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">‘Pick Me!!! I’ve got a useful purpose.’</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">The ‘Others’ lay on shelves </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">or in boxes </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">in all manner of disarray, </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">like window puppies,</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">hoping their turn will </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">come soon.</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />
</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">Recently, upon perusing the wall-to-wall items in the Cave-</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">(and thinking if I showed someone like Dr. Phil photos of said Cave, he’d plan a whole season around me)- </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">I’ve had a sort of epiphany-</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">if you can call it that. </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">I’ve decided to actually go through my treasures, </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">perform some wondrous artistic feat, </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">and share them with everyone in Blogland </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">and maybe even at some point</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">Etsyland.</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />
</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">This will not be easy for the likes of ‘magpie me’. </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">Once I find a find…</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">I store it for future use. </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">Maybe for tomorrow, </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">maybe for a decade from now.</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">I could spend days naming the numerous</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">items lodging in the Cave as there are many</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">wonders to behold down there below ground.</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">Priceless gems they are!</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />
</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">Once I begin unearthing </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">those valuable artifacts</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">and transforming them into </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">some new tidbit, </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">I will also gain the benefit of clearing out the Cave</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">and making room for new, </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">irresistible treasures.</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />
</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">That is my plan and my idea, </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">to unstash the Cave-stash,</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">make some new thing for this house</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">and hopefully some items to share</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">with friends along the way.</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />
</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">Millie would be so very proud of me! </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />
</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>Addendum: Will add photos very, very soon. </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>House in state of decorative</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>uproar as smallish-sized room formerly known as </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>'pantry-turned-emergency </strong></span><strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">housing' </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">for a 2-year stint, has now been returned to me </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>for my own personal use. I have</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>spent the last few days tearing up vinyl and scraping </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>the floor-aargh!!! But, I am </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>delighted to tell you that 'my room' is now painted </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>with two coats and</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>will now receive her new floor.
