I really liked this - it reminded me of my grandma's jewelry box. Thanks for sharing it, and supporting the madness that is LJ Idol!

Thanks for reading and commenting! I won't pretend to fully understand Idol, but it looks like a stressful sort of fun!

This is lovely, and poignant, with some gorgeous descriptions. I particularly loved the characterization of the grandmother, who was so gentle and wise, but had such a sense of strength about her.

Thank you sharing this beautiful piece with us!

Thank you for reading and leaving me such a nice comment! It was really nice to have a little push to write something and put it up quickly. And Idol looks like such a talented place.

[crisp_sobriety]

It is really great. :) I know what you mean about that push.

Oh, B!!! This is lovely beyond description, it's all in the feels and in that strange dreamy place where we KNOW the monsters lurk....

THANK YOU so much for sharing your words!
