I’ve passed through doors and returned with a haul of tales and secrets gathered from the hidden corners of the world.

Was it found, gifted, or taken? Only time will tell.

A ring, a silk scarf, a pair of sunglasses, and more, little trinkets of my travels, of my wanderings. They are my companions, my currency, my curiosities.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Some treasures are quiet, some loud,
They wait for the curious, not the crowd.
