What Makes Us Fall In Love?

With that perfect piece of furniture!

Is it the precise cut

scalloped board on the top?


Is it the use of discarded pieces of material?

Is it the need for a certain size?

Is it the crusty, crackled wonderfulness?

Is it the use of wood and metal?

Is it a wonderful odd pull?

Is it the use of

a different latch on every single door?

Or how about the use of

three different sets of hinges?

Or is it the fact that we know

some handsome man made this piece with pride

for his lovely wife to fulfill all her needs?

What ever the reason,

I love the rush I get when my eyes fall on that perfect piece!

My heart begins to race,

my face starts to get red and flush.

And my head actually starts to spin!

You know the very minute

that the perfect piece presents itself to you.

You know that whatever you have to do

to own that piece, on matter what, it's coming home with you!

Beg, borrow, or steal (not really), but you know what I mean!
