They chose this special piece to honor their pet's place in their family.
For the tokens, Maddie's owner matched meaningful photos with emotional words. She also requested a little silver dog bone on top the lid.
The Bad: It is currently lost in the mail. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will turn up in their mailbox soon. Deep breath...
The Ugly: These are "chicken burritos." That is, burritos for the chickens, not burritos made with chicken. They consist of some grasses and flowers, wrapped up in a leaf that is held secure with chives and...an earthworm. Not sure how I feel about that, but the chickens sure seem to enjoy them.(it's the Great Outdoor Challenge!)
Aww... poor earthworms! But I'm sure the chickens are really enjoying their burritos!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks so much for all the positive comments over on my blog - they are very much appreciated!

What a truly special way to remember your loved one! Keeping my fingers crossed it will show up in the right hands!
ReplyDeletesending my positive thoughts to the US POST. wrapped in a worm? your kids most love watching the chickens eat those!
ReplyDeleteYour memory capsule is so beautiful. I hope it's found soon. As for the burritos for a chicken,not of a chicken,.....that's some piece of kindness to show your chicken's such gourmet finesse. Wish I was a chicken. On second thought not really. I can't quite get past the worm. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh when you said something had gone missing I never imagined it was a Remembery capsule - I'll send good post vibes from over here too! Love the worm treats - I might show the boys or I may keep quiet and save some worms! :D

ReplyDeletethe remembery capsule is so great...I am going to hold the vision that it will arrive to be cherished by the people who helped you create it.
ReplyDeleteLove the chicken (I mean worm)burritos. And I loved your idea for dandelion soup to share with your neighbor...that is just brilliant!
ok, those chicken burritos are too great. my girls would love those! and my son would love making them i bet :) i felt sorry for my girls today, all cooped up in their run, so i pulled a big mustard plant from the ground and through it in with them. next time, we'll order them up some burritos.
ReplyDeletep.s. re: baking soda and vinegar - i poked holes in the lids of two glass jars, filled them with baking soda and vinegar and placed them in the bathroom. my kids weren't so crazy about my volcano in the toilet idea, but having the two ingredients in the bathroom, i was inspired to try the baking soda for shampoo and vinegar for conditioner. so far, so good. i think it might just work. thanks for the inspiration!
p.p.s. i framed my chicken. love it!
I love these capsules that you make. Come see, we are doing another giveaway of my daughter's music, her latest CD.
