А вы любите блошиные рынки? Фантазируете о вещах, которые там продаются? Я люблю ходить на блошиные рынки и, если есть возможность, всегда посещаю их и дома, и в путешествиях. Брожу между прилавков с разнообразными вещами и угадываю их судьбу. . Вот это кресло-качалка мерно поскрипывало, убаюкивая в себе миловидную старушку. Она уронила незаконченное вязание и заснула в одиноком, покинутом детьми и внуками доме. Её так и нашла соцработник, пришедшая по расписанию проверить как дела. . В хрустальных бокалах играют солнечные зайчики, прячась в пыльных гранях. А когда-то они украшали собой светские приёмы, пузырясь ароматным игристым вином и отражаясь в зеркалах вместе с элегантными женщинами в вечерних платьях и мужчинами в смокингах. . Старинная кукла с фарфоровым личиком и ручками жила в наполненной светом и радостью детской. Её маленькая хозяйка Ханна шептала ей на ушко все свои незамысловатые секреты, поила чаем, усаживая за стол вместе с плюшевым медведем, учила ее читать и считать. Но однажды в комнату ворвался стук тяжелых сапог и Ханна исчезла, а вместе с ней и беззаботное кукольное существование. . Чайный сервиз в мелкую розочку помнит, как на веранде дачи, за круглым столом, покрытом кружевной скатертью, собиралась большая семья. Чайник благоухал мятой, липой, чабрецом, листьями смородины и земляники, вишневыми веточками, на блюде еще исходящий жаром яблочный пирог. Звуки музыки парили в воздухе, нарушаемые смехом и птичьим пением. . Потрепанный сборник стихов распахнулся и шелестит на ветру желтыми, испещренными заметками и набросками на полях страницами. Влюбленная девушка подарила книгу своему парню перед расставанием. Он ушел в море на долгих восемь месяцев и читал: под звуки бурлящей воды и шквального ветра; при ласковом дневном и холодном звёздном свете; после изнуряющего рабочего дня и в часы редкого отдыха. Он читал и думал о ней, боялся она забудет о нем и надеялся на встречу. Сколько старых вещей, сколько нерассказанных историй, сколько человеческих судеб.
