'Trash' or 'Treasure'?
The things people throw away do amaze me some days. I was shuffling home, at roughly 2:30am, when I past a pile of furniture, reusable shopping bags and coat hangers. Out of curiosity, I stopped to have a poke through, as you do. Amongst the debris of this years spring clean I found a beautiful, wooden jewellery box the colour of old oak. As I tested the draws, expecting rot or wreckage, I noticed something even better. The jewellery box was fitted with a Sankyo hand wound steel music device. Okay, so the varnish is blemished and one draw is missing a handle, once i heard the tune it played I couldn't resist nabbing and waltzing off with it! It is a beautiful piece. Now, I'm struggling to name the tune!
