Brian Gray, a new friend at an antique store
equals
My new (old)
mid-century vanity!
So here’s the story

He wrote, “Hello My name is Brian. I work at Timeline Antiques on Line Avenue. 2 blocks south of Byrd High School on the corner of Line and Stephenson.
I love what you are doing here.
I can help.
Bring me the R2 and we will find you something to help on your journey.
See ya soon.”Brian3323 Line Avenue861-0808
He was offering tolet me
just walk aroundhis store and
pick something out!
Wow.
That was a
pleasant surprise.
Who’d a thunk it?Such enthusiasm for
my crazy idea from a
perfect stranger.
I went for a visit
And after an hour so of walking
around the store together, we settled on…
This mid-century vanity!
I told Brian he was being too generous, but check
this out:
I told Brian he was being too generous, but check
this out:
He’s as excited aboutthis project as I am.
He said he was lookingfor something to
be a part of.
He wanted my first trade to be significant, to get us off to a good
start.

Well, he certainly made that happen!
And that’s what makes this whole process so cool.

It’s not merely about my getting my hands on other people’s stuff, and trading
up to an RV.
It’s about a dream.
Brian is thrilled with his R2D2.
True, it’s monetarily worth much less than the vanity,
True, it’s monetarily worth much less than the vanity,
but every time he lays eyes on it,
he’s reminded that he took part in a project to
make a
dream come true.
So I owe him my gratitude.
Thank you, Brian.
So anyway, I called my friend, Robert, because he has a minivan,
And he’s super-nice.
And he’s always there for a friend.
He gave the vanity a ride to my house.
And now it’s sitting in our living room,
waiting for a new owner to offer
something for it.
What will I trade for
next?Who knows.
The facebook posts are posting.
The email blasts
are blasting.
The blog is
blogging.
The craigslist classifieds are “classifying.”
Only time will tell what the
next adventure will be.
Visit again soonto watch for updates.
And contact me if you wanna trade!
