Entry #3 - UNCLE!

        This delight of nostalgia and pleasure that hearkens back to old heritage and simple cherished memories is protected by this fortified smooth metallic chest etched in this beautiful composition on the lid that compliments its personality and shows the art deco playfulness or timeless French “la fleur” elegance. Fidgeting with this petite trunk like a toy, I run my fingers through the groves of the lettering and the design while I wait for someone to kill the time. The harmony of this modest regal styling is pleasing to the eye while showcasing a dainty plant that reinforces my reassurance it will be a gratifying experience. 

Opening the little chest, it pops open from these simple indentations of two tiny little speed bumps that holds it together so firmly. As I glided my fingers through the internals of this chest I can again feel the same design that was felt on the outside, but this time it is coated in fine white flakes that blankets the internals as if it was a miniature snowbowl in the tin container. As I gently retrieve one of the little treasures jacketed in a neat presentation that feels like it was gifted just for me, they are piled up in a numerous amount of snowy pucks. Plucking one from the stack, the texture is like soft sand, while leaving a tiny coating on the fingertips as if it was powdered sugar. 

Flinging the tiny puck, I instantly experience the piercing burst of winter throughout my senses as if I was out in the snow. Each breath transports me back to the week in December when my family and I spent Christmas in  Leavenworth. The spirit of the iconic jolly vibe was felt everytime I chipped away at the delicate delight. Crushing the little compact joy slowly between my teeth felt like the fresh snow I stepped on while trudging through the streets of that quaint town. Its bold profile and exhilarating chill, offers a moment of soothing peace that I witness that winter, inviting me to pause and savor its simple pleasure once again.
