This lonely little pitcher was cast aside, dirty and tarnished with what looked like a lifetime of neglect.
“Buy me! You know what lies beneath. I'm heavy, I'm 9" tall and I promise to shine for you if only you will take me home with you! ” it said.
"I’m only 99 cents."
Sold.
Slowly it began to reveal itself. Polish and a lot of elbow grease later it produced a happy shine!
Oh! It wasn’t perfect but it shined like the silver it was.
It even reflected!
In full and glowing color.
With the saturation turned down and only a tint of color.
And in black and white.
It was happy.
Sometimes you never know what will be revealed until you put a little shine on it. ~Honey
Until next time, Honey
