Wooden Chess And Mimosa In a Can
Today i found some rather interesting items, during the daily routine of buying food and all of that crap.
Wooden chess figures:
I had to laugh when i saw them. The facial expressions are priceless!
(At the antique shop next to Foto Eder. Josefstädter Strasse)
Mimosa plants in a can:
Yes, i bought them. I want to find out if that really works, and i never had Mimosa plants. I like their name.
Mi-mo-sa.
(At the Post Office, Josefstädter Strasse. 2,99eur)
I’d love to have a chess set as such! Though I’m pretty sure I can’t manage to play when inventing stories/scenes/memories to the figurenes with such facial expressions…
those chess figures look like they know what’s going to happen to them..
“here i stand, beautifully handcrafted out of the finest woods, carefully colored, only to be sacrificed on the battlefield. bleh.”
I bought a Sunflower in a can a while back. Mine had a poem written on the can. Anything similar on the Mimosa?
@ Meral: but imagine how much fun those stories would be! full of drama and everything!
@ Philipp: i like chess. but i am a really bad player. i always loose the whole army. tsk tsk.
@ Richard: No poem on mine. Its from a german company, and probably a different brand than your can. damn. i wanted a mimosa poem.
This is how we learned to love
the branching
and leaf-work,
the shapely persistence,
in the delicate fires of
mimosa.
That is how I came to stand beside windows in
darkness….

Today I saw mimosa flowers have bloomed here in a carzy way… They match with the blue of Bosphorus a lot. Hope yours will bloom as such.
