It wasn’t what I could see that intrigued me, but what I couldn’t. The square framed art wrapped in Christmas paper, hanging on the wall, drew my attention.

I pointed. “What’s that all about?”

The shop owner came to stand next to me, staring at the wrapped wall art, too. “They are a mystery, a beautiful gift for the curious enough buyer.”

“But what if I buy it and don’t like it once I take the paper off?” The whole thing made no sense.

The shop owner turned to me. “But what if you end up loving everything about it?”

Well done. I love this SO much! I took one look at that picture and my mind went completely blank. LOL

Thanks, Helen! This one was definitely tricky. At first glance, it looked very oriental, but then I quickly realized everything was Christmas decor. A little bizarre for sure.

Could this be a Faustian pact?

And that's what it's all about ..... taking a chance. Excellent!

Angela I liked where your muse took you for this one. I like the premise of the shop, but my taste in art is so particular that the odds it would be something I liked would miniscule. I can definitely see an adventurous spirit taking a chance on one. Fun story.
