1. What IS that?
No, it's not an elephant. If you can't figure it out, you many see it from another angle later in this post.
Her is another one. This is probably too easy, but I like it anyway. It's quite a bit different from the ones we use today, if we use them that is. I prefer to use a fork.

3. On the Road
As Joe and I were on the road to Tulsa Friday morning we watched the clouds. Strong storms were forecast for areas south of us. The bathrooms in the buildings at the Tulsa Fairgrounds are storm shelters, so we were hoping we would be there when / if a bad storm hit. I'm not fond of tornadoes. Can you see how much wind was in these?
We got our booth set up so we would be ready bright and early Saturday morning to sell. The threat of bad weather had cleared up by the time we left the building Friday evening. We were tired and hungry. On the road toward home is the Freeway Cafe, appropriately named. The food is reasonably priced and very good. We had grilled pork chops. I'm guessing they didn't have enough letters to spell TULSA correctly on the sign and had to improvise.
4. On the Shelf
This was an interesting display that Joe put together on the top shelf of his table. If you didn't guess my first "What IS that?" you will find another clue here. The red thing would have also made an interesting "What IS that?"
I like the way he used the old 7-up soda pop bottle crate for a smaller shelf to display his wares.
5. Bad Habit
It was nearly 4:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon when I found something to photography for this prompt. It was in the booth next to mine. Every time I looked on the shelf, this cat was hanging on the back of the girl's chair. I got to thinking about how dangerous it could be. If the girl was to stand up, the chair would fall over on him, and he would most likely break into pieces, as he was porcelain. Hanging on the back of a chair is a bad habit!
Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoyed this week's Scavenger Hunt Sunday. I would love to hear your comments. I linked my post here:
P.S. I finally got my website done enough to publish. It still needs a lot of work, but I'm pleased to have made it this far. Here is my url if you'd like to check it out. http://www.marthajanecurtis.com/
Awesome shot of the storm clouds. Enjoy all the interesting antiques you take photos of. Is the red thing a sander?
ReplyDeleteDiane, thanks for the comments. The red thing is a cigarette roller. An uncle showed me how one worked when I was very young. Somehow you put the cig paper on, then the tobacco and turned the handle and it rolled the cigarette for you. :)
DeleteThat is exactly how I eat my sweet potatoes too! Delicious. At first I was thinking some sort of rug beater? Until you said you prefer a fork. I was liking how everything was set up, and then you mentioned it too, so yes, very nice presentation. Very eye grabbing just what you need in a place with so much to see!
ReplyDeleteKaren, it is a potato masher. Mom always used a mixer, but I preferred a potato masher because I liked it being a little lumpy. I got used to using a fork later on because it was easier to wash than the potato masher. I guess you could just say I'm a bit lazy.
DeleteThat is an awesome shot of the sky.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I took around 15 shots trying to get it right. It's not easy to get a good picture from a moving vehicle. (My husband was driving, not me)
DeleteYou see so many interesting things in your travels. The cloud formations are fantastic
ReplyDeleteYes, we do see some interesting things,and meet a lot of interesting people, too.
DeleteThat sky shot is great. LOL at your bad habit shot. Clever.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Sometimes it is a real stretch to satisfy the prompts when I'm set up at shows.
DeleteThose clouds look awesome--almost like you took a picture of a painting because you see texture there. The what IS it shot was interesting too.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to get a shot that made the clouds crisp and clear, but it just wouldn't work. This was the closest to how they actually looked of my 20 or so attempts. :) The what is was a faucet in case you didn't see. It confused me when I saw in partially covered before Joe unpacked it.
