'What the Garden Keeps'

Forget-me-nots name themselves out of anxiety but they needn’t worry — this piece remembers them exactly: blue against green, with coral and white for counterpoint. The beaded filigree frame holds it like a secret already safe.

The garden keeps more than we see. This is some of what it kept — pressed and sealed and certain.

This pendant is for the woman who remembers everything that mattered.
