The Thriftster: Abandoned Art

Photobucket

I always look at the frames in thrift stores. Sometimes you'll find a great one, you never know. Oftentimes you'll find them, all dusty in their original plastic wrap with a price tag from the 1980s. Sometimes they'll still have art in them, which was the case with this find. A nice print of a weathered door, matted and all. But the most interesting thing was the inscription on the back:

Beyond every storm lies a new sky, with open horizons and endless possibilities. However you choose to travel, wherever you decide to go, may your journey be safe and filled with everything you desire in life. Follow your heart and be true to yourself and the world is yours! Best of luck on your journey, Nicole, wherever it may take you. Your friend forever, Scott

I'm curious. What happened to Nicole and Scott? Are they on the outs? Why did Nicole get rid of the nice gift? And where was she going -- somewhere where frames or sharp objects weren't allowed? LAX? Prison, perhaps?

Whatever happened, I will toast to Scott's great sentiment. Dear readers, may your journey be safe and filled with everything you desire in life! Now let's clink glasses.
