My One World One Heart Prize: A Soapstone Heart

Look what was in my mailbox this week!...

 

This lovely soapstone heart is one of the prizes I won in the recent One World One Heart bloggers event.  It came from The Adventures of the Arrogant Frog and the Smug Beef.  They describe their blog as "A French/english couple and their misadventures, thoughts, photos, favourite music, recipes, places to visit, views on history, culture…."

In case you're wondering what soapstone is, here is what Wikipedia says "Soapstone (also known as steatite or soaprock) is a metamorphic rock...composed dominantly of talc...it is is relatively soft (because of the high talc content), and may feel soapy when touched, hence the name. Soapstone is used for inlaid designs, sculpture...traditional carvings."

Thank you so much for this wonderful gift!
