“The Trunk”

I truly believe things happen for a reason and you are where you are because that is where you are suppose to be.. back in the spring I went to an estate auction.. late in  the day a beautiful trunk came up, tho it was beautiful,  it was what was inside that I was interested in as I already had 3 trunks to sell, LACE.. a trunk full of old lace.. MY weakness.. I kept bidding until I won!!… $75.00.. I brought it home and looked through the contents and was trilled.. decided what I would keep and what I would sell.. took some to the Brimfield show…  So as I was getting ready for this show I saw the trunk again But.. decided I would take the Aqua painted one I had just bought .. Well, it looked great at the end of the iron bed I had brought BUT the trunk  sold on Friday.. just hours into the show.. so Saturday morning I had Tim help me load the Auction trunk in my van..( I decided to mark it $75.00 firm.). why?? I have no idea.. (exactly what I had paid for it)… but I could not get it out myself so there it sat in my car  all morning.. One of my nice fellow dealer stopped over to say hi, and I asked him to help me get it out.. I put it right there where the Aqua one had been.. not even an hour later I saw a couple and their daughter looking at it.. They asked me, what was a strange question.. When did u buy this trunk? HUM.. when was that.. March..At an auction? they asked .. YES.. they Knew that trunk.. it had sat in Greg’s mothers house his whole life.. O, I forgot to say.. they came to the show because their daughter wanted a trunk..They could not believe it.. there it was.. I was thrilled too.. I still get chills thinking of seeing their faces .. they could not believe it and at that price, as they had looked at one earlier  Not as nice and 3X’s the money).. FATE???? I think so… A lot of things happened that day that lead to this trunk being back where it belonged with the Granddaughter who’s grandmother had it in her front room for years.. A TREASURE  for sure…  .. and this is proof.. Enjoy your trunk, , Joclyn !!!… this is a story with a very Happy ending.. Thanks, Greg, Christie and Joclyn for making this a very special show for me and reminding me that miracles do happen.. and that Life is good!!!
