I manifested a mandolin. I really wanted one but I didn't want to buy one. I just knew some day that I'd have one somehow.
What I did have was a plastic PVC flute that I didn't want anymore. Briefly I wondered if anybody in the world would want to trade a mandolin for this inexpensive flute. I dismissed the idea as crazy but in the back of my mind I thought, well maybe someday and the idea of trading that flute for a mandolin never really went away.
A couple of weeks ago I visited a musician's forum that I hadn't been to in a little while. Someone was seeking to trade a mandolin for a type of flute that was the exact flute I had.
When I saw the request I immediately sent a message. I knew that was MY mandolin. A week and a half later I'm plucking tunes on the porch with my new mandolin!
