										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[Have patience; keep reading to the bottom for full giveaway details.]</p>
<p>Two Saturdays ago, when J &amp; Q were still hanging with the Huddlestons, Golden Lane Estate hosted a residents&#8217; market (boot) sale. We had to walk through it to leave the grounds of the estate on our first mission of the day (that was Borough Market for you non-regular readers. No shame.) Getting back to the point&#8230;</p>
<p>As we walked past the table of a friendly neighbor, I saw <em>them</em>. My heart leaned toward <em>them</em>. Then I remembered the boys (who I assumed hate yard sale shopping even more than regular shopping) and the mission; I averted my teary, star-struck eyes from that beautiful set of lovelies to the path ahead. All day <em>they</em> sat in the back of my thoughts. For some reason <em>they</em> seemed to be just what I wanted as proof that the Huddlestons had been here – on this grand London adventure. I guess you understand those unspoken reasons why I so desperately feel the need to mark my tracks and leave something behind for others to treasure when I am gone&#8230;</p>
<p>When Drew realised how desperately I was longing for these silly trinkets (he did not actually call them &#8220;silly trinkets&#8221;!), he gently told me that I should march myself back to that table and get <em>them</em>. I grabbed Jane and nearly ran&#8230;</p>

<p>To have this imperfect, incomplete tea set gave me such a sense of being present in the moment &#8211; in this reality. It makes me think of of those things that my mom had around the house when I was little - like the wooden lady bugs and the fairy figurines &#8211; that are so oddly special to me.  I would like to have a few of those kinds of things that mark my history, for my children to find silly or special.</p>
<p>Another slightly imperfect but special item caught my eye. It wasn&#8217;t meant for me, but meant for me to give away. My mother loved to give gifts and I would like to honor her in giving this treasure to someone reading this note.</p>
