The Soothing Sound of Nostalgia
When I was young, my grandmother was active on the local craft fair circuit. As a cute kid with missing front teeth, I would come along as a means to sell more crafts and also as the person who would help her to pitch the tent. I can still remember so many of the specifics of those works of art, most of which were made painstakingly in grandma’s garage. The hand-painted wooden snowmen were big sellers in the fall.
But above all I remember the sonorous tones of her handcrafted wind chimes, which were fashioned out of dining utensils. The forks, spoons and knives each made a distinctive sound as they clattered together in the summer breeze. These days I’ve found a way to replicate that nostalgic sound: a solarchime that works year round and even indoors. It doesn’t even need any wind to function perfectly.
