Chandelier

Here is a photo of the chandelier at the house we're now living in here in SF. It's my grandparents' house and it's been vacant for 5 years. This chandelier brings bittersweet thoughts to my mind…..

When I was a little girl, I loved it! I loved to touch it and watch it twinkle (to which I always got a lovely shout from my Nonno, "Non toccare!" (don't touch!)). I also used to take the crystals off the chandelier and attach them to my ears somehow and wear them like earrings.

Now….I don't feel quite the same. Sure, it's pretty and old, but it's just not my style. Do I hear Craigslist calling?
