Little Surprise
Thu Dec 03 2009


Hub Man had a muzzle loader* catalog that I looked through not long ago. I told him if he ever ordered anything from it, there was something in there that I thought I wanted.

I was right. I did want it.

A hand made pewter turtle spoon.

I am inordinately fond of this thing.

Notice it has a little hole on the top where you could put a ribbon throuh and wear it around your neck if you decided to. I can see that. I really can. With the right outfit... you know, long skirt, bonnet, a muzzle loader toting pioneer dude by your side. It works for me.



*It's a gun. I mean rifle. Hub Man says rifle is the proper term.



 



PS- The new foster dog won't be here till Saturday.

    Isn't it amazing what can be seen in ordinary objects? I have looked at a lot of spoons in my life and I can honestly say I never once saw a turtle....... but then I wasn't looking either.

    Clearly the artist looks at the world and sees beyond what's there. And thank goodness for it. The world would be a pretty dull place if no one looked past the ordinary.

    So, when are you going to make yourself a bonnet? ;)
