I’ll start with a story …

I called the picture “Bride on the stairs”- found taped to the underside of a drawer in the butler’s pantry.

I was mildly intrigued, but I had a crew and looming renovation deadline, so into in my briefcase she went.

She was on the butler’s pantry the next morning. Day 2 in the attic. I confronted my crew about messing with me. Suspicious stares had me drop that line of questioning.

Five more times she ended up in the attic until one night I visited alone to open walls and pull floorboards.

Oh God, here’s the dress. It’s not empty.

Now, it’s your turn.
