Magic Stars



It was Christmastime in 1995, and Lena Paahlsson was doing some holiday baking in her home in Mora, Sweden. To keep the dough out of her wedding ring (and vice versa), she laid it on a clean work surface. But when she went back the ring wasn’t there. The white gold band with seven small diamonds she’d designed for herself, the ring Lena’s husband Ola had placed on her finger on their wedding day was simply gone. Sixteen years later Lena was working in her vegetable garden, harvesting carrots. One of the carrots was wearing her ring like a crown! Lena and Ola have puzzled over how the ring ended up there. It may have fallen into the kitchen compost bin or even been eaten by the goat whose manure enriches the garden soil. They’ll probably never know for sure. The carrot certainly isn’t talking.
