Description

It's a small gift for a friend of mine. There's a story behind everything: The wagon represents her journeys (across Europe and through life as well), with the door always open for good people.
The stars are there to guide her.
Wheat represents a wish that she always has enough of essential things in life (such as everyday bread for example).
A dog, that represents friendship and loyalty is there as a wish for only the good and true friends.
Campfire is for that welcome feeling wherever she is (if the world is too dark and people too cold, you light your own fire and it gets better).
The horse is obviously there to pull the wagon, but there's also a story that goes along - and it's from Shakespeare's King Richard the Third: King lost a horse in the heat of a battle and without it he would certainly die, so he shouted "A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!" It is a beautiful metaphor for how small things (what is one horse in comparison to whole kingdom?) can be sometimes more important than anything else, and sometimes we just need to slow down and appreciate them.
And finally, the paper is burned on one side, just to remind us all, that nothing lasts forever and can disappear in the matter of seconds, so we should enjoy every moment.
Hope she likes it, and hope you guys like it as well :)
