Have you lost something?

A strange pair we make - walking, bent over, scanning the veldt. Concerned people want to help us find what it is we are looking for. How to explain the thrill of finding fragments of a distant daily life? 


On a ramble three weeks ago, I found a particularly intriguing shard of porcelain - the letter "O"...
Exactly one week later, I found the entire plate at the Milnerton Market. That's the kind of synchronicity that makes one gasp.


Tunstall, England, 1890's.

Those bizarre little happenings are amazing, aren't they? Have had a few very odd ones in my life time. Love the shards. Will you do something with them or simply enjoy as is?

Leslie, I have jars full!
But I have used some to mosaic part of a bathroom wall.
