Small Stone

an horse chestnut
left over from October
its skin withered
It hangs from a decorated mirror
bound in seamstress' thread

Thanks Julie.

'm glad I found yours, too :)

Lu isn't just a friend, she's a life partner -- one of two ;)

Does it serve to ward off horse fever, I wonder? It feels like secret medicine...

Rachel Green said...

I suspect it would be a nostrum -- I've never heard of a medicinal use for them.

Maybe to throw at your enemy Rachel?? lol. Love the picture conjured up by this.
