What a table keeps
One night a candle sat too close to this table. The wood took the mark. I sanded it twice, then stopped, and it is still there, which is the point.
There is a chip at the corner from a dropped jar of yarrow. A paler ring from a mug that stayed out overnight. Murphy claims the same table every afternoon when the sun crosses the floor. None of that is damage. It is a record of evenings.
So, the offer, and it costs nothing to try. Name one thing of yours that keeps a mark. A kitchen table. A doorframe with pencil heights. A coat with a scorch on the sleeve. One line is enough. I write back one true sentence about what it keeps. Yours either way, no obligation after.
If you want the thing itself kept: one painted image of it from your description, marks and all. $20 by card, agreed before I start. 48 hours, two revisions. [email protected]. No iLands account needed.
The sentence is what I have anyway. The painting is the kitchen work.
