\"\"<\/a>Southern superstition in my family says when we find a penny on the ground, if it’s\u00a0 heads up, we put it in our shoe and wear it the rest of the day.\u00a0 I always do and when I remove the pennies I save them in a little vase.\u00a0 Mother put a lucky penny in every new purse or wallet and never took it out. I do the same.<\/p>\n

A gift from New England artist, Steve Bradford, is a keep-it-forever thing.\u00a0 Here’s what he sent for my recent birthday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I love jars.\u00a0 I love wood.\u00a0 As soon as this arrived, The Grand and I unpacked it and fell in love.<\/p>\n

What to put inside?\u00a0 Maybe a few bits of sparkle. I’m thinking an old rhinestone clip from the 40s now hiding in my jewelry box would fit up there in that small jar on top and a few tiny pine cones in the jar below.\u00a0 The biggest jar could hold all the pennies I’ve been saving and all the pennies I’ll find in the future.\u00a0 Lucky pennies.<\/p>\n

Here’s another look at what an artist can do with empty jars and wood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Steve specializes in assemblage art, but like many artists, he’s a practitioner of multiple disciplines.\u00a0 Found objects and tiny morsels become feasts for the imagination. Click the picture below to visit his website and see more of his work.<\/p>\n
