I so want to believe this story. The whole project reminds me a bit of a recent RadioLab (or was it TAL?) about Origin Stories – that we all want things to have a romantic history above and beyond their true use and meaning.

But the fact that the objects are now included in the project – that alone increases their value and adds to the romantic origin – whatever the fictional, and true, origin story is.

It’s all very meta. I hope I can get a ceramic cow creamer out of it.
