House of Jawi

During one of my frequent escapes from school, I went in search of the most beautiful thing Bernardsville had to offer (for under $7). After asking the price of unmarked little trinkets in the Rebecca Collection, I wandered the town’s crosswalks until I found ‘The House of Jawi’ in the back alley of the movie theater. I browsed through the over-priced vintagey mishmash, staying out of pity for the lonely store owner. And then I saw a rose quartz egg. After trading the man a five dollar bill, my quest had ended; I owned the most beautiful treasure in town.
