September 2022, a Victrola suitcase record player sat enticingly in the entryway of the Southern Maryland Waffle House Airbnb with a crate of records conveniently nearby just begging to be played.
Brooke, this piece is EXCELLENT! I love so many things about it: the playful nature of "I stole it" leaving me hanging (and horrified until you clarified 😅), the imagery and specificity of the items you loved and the experiences they created, how you tie everything together at the end, and I love this line "Three stolen items in the span of a year." Really well done, congrats!!! 👏

Thanks so much! Your editing prowess really helped take this to the next level 😊
Steal the best and leave the rest.
So great, Brooke! From the first time I read this to now I’m still obsessed AND thankful you aren’t a real thief hahahhaha
This is so good! A reminder that we're allowed to get ~inspired~ by airbnbs and improve our life just a little bit with things we fancy.
Also, phew the relief that you didn't actually steal those things!
