A couple of weeks ago I was doing the thrift circuit and in some cosmic event, each store had the same vintage wicker trunk with brass hardware. In another cosmic event, I restrained myself from buying each and every one. One was too dirty, one was too expensive, and by the time I came across the last one, I had convinced myself wicker trunks grow on trees. Later that day I happened upon this photo and finally all the planets aligned just to blow my mind...
Eclipse! Solar flares! Other stuff I should remember because I took astronomy in college! Whatever. I had a plan, and it involved copious amounts of spray paint and those damn trunks.
Those damn trunks were gone. Turns out they don't really grow on trees.
Because I always want what I can't have, I have now developed a mild obsession with trunks. Ok, let me level with you: I MUST HAVE ONE.

Misplaced the source... bad blogger.
Guess what? None of these are as good as the pair of shiny BRASS trunks Karly is currently using for her nightstands.
I am hoping she'll be so knackered from baby tending that she won't notice me tip toeing around in the dark with a black ski mask on...
I was also watching a brass Sarreid chest on ebay, but homeboy went for $635!!! Do people think I am made of money?
And don't even get me started about the Restoration Hardware trunks... when I looked at the prices (even on sale), I nearly spit out my precious coffee.
So, long story short: I really should have bought those stupid wicker trunks at the thrift store. Now I am going to have to wait for the next planetary event, which will probably occur approximately 5,692 years from now, and by that time the trunks will be used to hold my ashes.
Dumb dumb dumb.
