There could be wonderful old things in there, if we didn't know the venue. But knowing that . . . it becomes a place that hides things. #10938178

Beautiful find and textures, Michelle! Very mysterious indeed.
I was looking for a synonym for 'intangible' and found 'abstruse'. My version of MS Word showed 'abstrusity' as a misspelling but I found the noun form in a very old, very exhaustive Merriam Webster. #10938453
