A new home for a brass bell
Sometimes, the point of making a bell is so that it can have a nice home somewhere. This is the tale of one such bell. There is a bakery downtown that lacks a bell on their door. How can they know if someone has entered the store if there is no bell?
It was a flumoxing enigma, that I decided to solve by crafting a bell for the door.

The new home is not a door!

Then the proprietor of the establishment suggest moving the bell to a location where patrons would have the ability to ring the bell. And thus the bell found its home; and there was much joy in my heart.
The sound of this little dinger
There is a relief of pressure when a crafted object finds its home. It is a long sigh, an exhalation of pent up yearning. A calming silent warmth, broken only by the soft ringing of a bell.
