Secret In The Attic

Growing up in South America and being directly expose to North America culture wasn’t an easy job!
There was always the wonder of – Is that true?!”
My favorite subject was the mistery in the attic.
In most movies there was always a house with a big attic and people’s secret being kept inside wooden chests (hey, that’s my studio!), old boxes, closets…
There was always tbe excitement of moving into a house with an attic full of the previous owner’s secrets.

My imagination always went flying in my little wonder world.
Attics are very common in Europe or North America, not in my country.
One day I came to Canada and started putting to test all the literature and movies, I have been watching.

But I guess, the real proof came when I finally walked into an attic full of boxes and got to search around.
I could have spent days going through boxes, memories, dusty things.

When we bought the house we live on, the previous owner left a few (actually there were a lot of them!) boxes behind. Over the months, I got to explore them and collect a few stories.
The previous owner was my mother in law so, can you imagine how exciting was for us to find a few family treasures lying around?
We found pictures that have been missing for years, Bar Miztva invitations from friends who are now 50 years old,  old tools, old music posters (some of them hilarious!), old stuff, dusty shelves…
The picture here is from a seal press, we found in the house.
I just love playing with it and making marks in all kids of paper.
The gift of finding history has no price!
Do you have any interesting attic stories and finds to tell me?1!
