It is huge, garishly oranmented, and impossible to discard (because who in their right mind would throw away an evil eye protector?). We've got good luck amulets from Japan and Korea, too, and a large wooden fish carved by a friend that I particularly love.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528227961565444889.post-18314229039577085752009-01-21T19:48:00.000-08:002009-01-21T19:48:00.000-08:00I love the colors of those souvenirs.And this is c...I love the colors of those souvenirs.<BR/><BR/>And this is changing the subject, but I just have to ask, given your comment on my blog...<BR/>YOU HAVE A 70 LB TURTLE IN YOUR BACKYARD?
