SUBJECT: Gum wrapper chain
At an auction about two years ago, I discovered an immensely long (at least 5 yards) gum wrapper chain in one of the box lots.
Immediately, I was consumed with possessing that wrapper chain. I persuaded the auction assistant to take it out as a separate item so I could bid on it without having to also take all of the other stuff in the box.
He graciously did so. I bid $1 and braced myself for someone to bid against me. No one did. What? Silly people, did they not know the awesomeness of this gum wrapper chain? I won and he handed me the plastic bag. Then bonus! I discovered a second slightly shorter chain in the bag as well. It was a Christmas miracle in July. I spread the joy and gave that one to my sister.
The one I kept is long enough to use as a garland for my special ornament tree.
It’s perfect.
