Sometimes I give myself a holiday present.  This year’s is a floating locket. I don’t know why they’re called that.  It’s stainless steel, so my skin shouldn’t be able to corrode it.  And it contains hairs from my father’s beard, that he sent me, or had my mother send me after he died.  I wanted a way to keep the beard hairs with me at all times, and this beautiful locket did the trick. By the way his beard turned grey very young.  It was grey when I was born even though his head hair was still jet black. And he was about 40 then. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the rest of the beard hairs, but I’ll figure out something.  Maybe I could find something similar to this locket only bigger and more like a display case.  I’d love to find something where I could touch it regularly, but that lends itself to the hairs getting lost.

Notes:
  1. natalunasans said: think it’s called floating because what you put in it floats between clear glass. as in not pressed and no metal at the back(?) maybe a box with the magnifying glass top would work for the rest? at least i think i’ve seen such a thing…
