"Horsehair?"





This was another gift for Christmas for my friend. She was interested in what it was made of, horse hair. To me there was only two left and had to jump on it. And no iits not horsehair, but pine needles. Interesting that when it arrived in Miami they were holding it in custom for a few hours to see if it could safely enter.
