Lighthouse Has A Human Hair Cross

While visiting the Laquana Beach Lighthouse, a volunteer pointed out to us, that the shadow box cross display was created with .........human hair.


HUMAN HAIR!!!


Apparently, this is an old tradition brought over from England. Since 1980 I have visited England on many occasions, and can swear, on a bible, that I have never, ever, seen hair crosses nor hair flowers during any of my visits. 


However, after much thought, I have decided that this is a tradition I should pursue. Instead of crying and worrying about all of the hair on my pillow, bathtub, floor, I think you get it, (ah menopause) and sweeping and tossing it into the garbage, I am going to make flowers and crosses for Xmas presents. Let me know if you would like one!
