Pretty earrings caught my eye.
Feeling slightly wicked, I asked the price.
Affordable! And I’d just had a birthday….
It was only at home, unwrapping them,
that I saw ‘Thank you for supporting
a Tasmanian designer’ and then
‘Launceston’ – my birthplace.
How sweet that the town I grew up in
nurtures, now, a maker of earrings,
earrings which found me for my birthday,
84 years after that first birthday
in the hilly little town at the end
of the river and under the mountains.
Thank you, dear Tasmanian designer!
