Description
October in the Vosges forest, and the air smells of damp leaves and mushrooms. A family on a Sunday walk stops in the middle of the path, all four of them frozen, because there on a fallen beech log sits a squirrel with an acorn held in its tiny paws. It regards them for a long moment, tail curled like a question mark. Then it decides they are no threat at all and goes back to its lunch, nibbling busily while the children whisper.
This box captures that delightful encounter. A squirrel sits on a log, acorn in hand, painted in vivid, earthy tones of the autumn woods. It makes a charming present for a hiker, a birdwatcher who secretly prefers squirrels, a forester, or a child who loves woodland storybooks. Displayed on a cabin bookshelf or a fireside table, it brings a little of the forest indoors, especially welcome as the evenings draw in.
