A Swedish newspaper brings us the heartwarming tale of Lena Paahlsson, who lost her custom-designed wedding ring sixteen years ago while baking for Christmas. She and her husband tore up their kitchen looking for it, but no luck. This Christmas, while gardening, she found her ring — perched atop one of her carrots. Paahlsson thinks the jewel made its way into her vegetable compost all those years ago. The ring’s perfectly fine; all it needs is a “good cleaning.” Don’t get any Valentine’s Day proposal ideas, urban farmers. [Daily Telegraph via Technorati]
