Sticking with the fairy tale theme, here is a photo of my old man in a stick. This walking stick was carved by a gentleman in Utah. A shimmering ribbon of poetry is inscribed and wraps around the stick all the way to the bottom. This old man usually gets quite a few compliments when I take him out for walks on the trails!

What a fascinating walking stick! Just like the totems, stories to tell. But here you have poetry too. Great icon to go with your fairytale theme. Thanks for sharing! And... good to see on your sidebar what you're currently reading. ;) Thanks for the mention on Twitter too.
That is an awesome walking stick!
That's gorgeous! A real keepsake.
Enchanting walking stick! Happy hiking♫
Thank you! Enchanting is a great descriptor :)
Very much like a totem! I hadn't thought of it that way.
Definitely a keeper!
It is so awesome I keep it in the living room corner where I can see it often :)
That is absolutely lovely. It would be really special to go walking in the woods with that, but perhaps it's too nice to use. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/GVIbC
Awesome!
Maybe might dad would be finally tempted to use a walking stick if I could find a specially hand-crafted one like this :-)
I'm a storyteller and I think your walking stick would be a great conversation piece. Thanks for sharing.By the way, whose poetry is on the stick?
Gorgeous.
I love him! Have you named him? You should name him.
I like the idea of the poetry wrapped around it.
It's Robert Frost, "The Road Not Taken."
It looks beautiful but is a pretty hardy piece so I do take it out.
I have not named him, which is odd because I name everything! I should.
Hope you come across one some day! I love taking mine out. It has such personality.
Now I want one!
