lake cabin fever – contagion
After he sold it, the simple design continued to haunt his memory. This little wooden tender box held such great lessons and memories within, he couldn’t seem to shake its elemental echoes. A simple witness, it spoke as clearly as a boy’s first tree house. An idea hit him one … [read more]
