Spring Trunk

Spring cleaning find - this portly old Trunk. A littled weathered and care worn. I imagined it having stored treasures and keepsakes from days gone by; a hanky used to dab the eye of a fair haired Miss or maybe the old Trunk had crossed the Atlantic bringing life's cherished posessions to a new country for a new beginning.  Irish linens, engraved flatware perhaps received as a wedding gift.

Whatever it's past, it has good bones and will be tenderly restored.  Set your sea fareres scope and sextant for Spring next year and watch for it coming a shore all shiny and new - ready to store new treasures.
