lamby & the willow wand


a little lady named helen sold me this willow wand for one pound.

she has a tiny antique store at the end of my road
it is filled with wooden stools & globe lamps.
she never gets anything new, but sometimes
i stop in just to say hello. i saw this staff
with the curly vines and my face lit up.
"oh that old thing, you can have that
for a pound." she said. yay.
lamby got in the picture
can you tell what a
bastard he is?
maybe you cant cause he looks kind of cute.

ps. nanowrimo is my bitch
im at 33,000 and ticking like a clock.
and thanks everyone for your encouragement!
it really really helps. i hope nano is your bitch too.

I wonder if the wand is made from a rowan branch. We have a couple rowan trees in the front and I think they look similar with the scrawny little twig-branches sprouting out from the bigger one. I can't get outside to take pictures but I found these:
Rowan Trees and this:
Wiki Facts
So it seems ot be one of the most likely types of wood to make a wand out of, if you ask me that is! If you could see our branches you might agree. We had windstorm that blew some down. I will go fetch them and send you pics when I can.

P.S.
Oh, I forgot to mention. I have not forgotten about getting you a print of the illustration I did of you.:)
I have been a bit busy lately sorting out my shop...I'm going to get some limited prints soon for Etsy. I just need to arrange to go the printers, so it might take me a while...
I will let you know and send you a signed picture!;)
