Great post, Siobhan. I love the apothecary window and the vegetables. The badger still life is great, too. Very creative!
Thank you, Patti! I've shared my badger once before but it fit this challenge well. :)
I love it!
Terrific choices Siobhan. I'll admit I struggled with this one. Loved your badger of course but also the museum pieces. Perfect for the challenge.
Thanks, Tina! I had to think about this one for a while, but then I'm like, Oh yeah! The people who set up displays at museums are pros at setting up still lifes.
Great selections.
Thanks, John!
Beautiful collections – I love the woven basket!
Thank you, Sarah! I love basketry and beadwork. 😁
I'm always fascinated by Native American crafts, they make such beautiful things!
Great collections Siobhan. The colorful collection of veggies is what is best from a market. I love your display with the agates, rocks an badger. Awesome job on the badger. The only time I have ever seen a badger in my life was on our way to Bend one day. Terrified us as it looked like it was going to challenge our vehicle. lol. I didn't know what it was at the time. Fascinating creatures. Great collections!
Thanks, Donna! Yeah, badgers are definitely a weird looking creature. Nice to look at--from a distance. ;)
Fish and chips with a foamy beer... Now that makes me crave.
Always a great meal!
Great and varied collections, Siobhan! The ancient apothecary is my favourite!
Thanks, Ann-Christine! That place is great for pictures.
