Life: Idiotropic

Luci has an unusual mind and she sees things differently from her sisters. She's also a collector - a collector of things that are beautiful or unique or special to her in some way. Little things mark memories for her and she has a phenomenal way of cataloging it all in her mind.

So, when I empty her coat pockets on occasion before washing her winter jacket, I am always a bit scared at what I may find and then really intrigued by the collections we end up with.

Thus, this is my second of what will probably be a small serious of lists made every time I wash Luci's coat - lists of the contents of her amazing pockets.

1. One pair of mismatched gloves
2. One wadded up napkin (clean, I think)
3. Two wadded up tissues - also clean
4. Two folded and very wrinkled business cards from La Flotille - a cafe we stopped at in Versailles
5. A very tattered yellow drink umbrella that she had in her drink at La Flotille.
6. A chestnut pod or similar seed pod that Luci remembers picking up near that restaurant in Versailles
7. Two Paris Metro tickets that Luci said weren't hers - she found them on the ground
8. 2 sprigs of natural green pine that she found at the flower market near the Notre Dame at Le Cite in Paris - she said it was near where they sold the blue and pink and red Christmas trees
9. A nut - as in, a nut and a bolt. No bold, but she found a very nice shiny silver nut though she had no idea what it was, it was pretty.
10. 12 rocks plus one more black volcanic rock that is almost perfectly round
11. 5 pieces of broken glass - not sharp. Two opaque white and textured, two clear, and one very small pale blue piece
12. 14 juniper berries that she found near the carousel at the Place du Concord in the garden of Tuilleries in Paris

Here is the link to the first "Luci's Pockets" entry that was finally posted today as well.... yes, I'm still working on catching up: http://estrogenpalace.blogspot.com/2007/12/lucis-pockets.html
