A simple collection of found things . . . acorns, a two-tone pebble, a piece of bark shaped like a heart, a pine twig of some sort with what appear to be baby pine cones clustered at the tip. Kept together in three nested wooden bowls.
The first bowl, lighter, smallest, is carved from torrey
pine wood, purchased in the little gift store at Torrey Pines State
Nature Reserve, about a half-hour's drive from my home.
The second, shaped like the symbol for the Ace of Spades, was bought about 70 years ago by my grandparents when they visited Hawaii . . .
The
third, largest, which you can only glimpse part of, I saw at a local well-known discount department
store, and bought on a whim. Just because I love wooden bowls, because it has iron handles,
and the price was right.
The pine twig I gleaned on one of my morning walks. Also the heart-shaped bark fragment.
The acorns are from a local public garden and also from a trip to Julian.
The pebble I found in my garden years ago, and oiled it to make the colors gleam.
