Surprise Presents!
Today's mail contained a surprise for me. I was busily opening envelopes when a series of photographs fell out of one. I picked them up and looked at them curiously. They were the kind of images I buy on eBay - women arm-in-arm, friendly expressions with a bit of a secret shared on the edges - but I didn't remember buying them. I rushed to my computer to check my recent eBay wins - was I that forgetful from chemo? No, these were some from something else.
As it turns out, a seller who I had bought from before sent these to me as a gift. I had been very lucky to win a lot of photos clearly taken from a female couple's album in the 1930s. They were wonderful photos that would normally incite a bidding war (if people realized what they were) but everyone else was asleep at the wheel and I got them for a very low price. I exchanged some emails about this with the seller, who normally specializes in other types of photos.
Knowing my preference for collecting photos of women (lovers, friends, and sisters) she held several aside for me and then popped them in the mail. She just asked that I give them a good home. Isn't that wonderful? It was just the thing I needed after a yucky day. I can't wait to make some art with them!
Good people are everywhere; we just need to notice them. Thank you, TK!
