( Melissa and Lisa, this was the same place we went to when you guys were here but it was a whole different experience with Brad. He went at about three times the pace we did!)
The point was for me to pick out something for a birthday present. We had a lot of fun looking at interesting things but nothing really jumped out at me. ( That would have been really scary. Jumping antiques!) Just before we left, I spotted these ceramic hands. I was enchanted with them. They can be fastened to the wall, but I haven't decided on the right place for them yet, so for now they are on the kitchen table. I discarded the orginal fake greenery that they were holding, and put in a couple roses from our front garden instead.
So here is one of my favorite birthday presents of 2006:

those are really neat! They have a certain artistic quality that makes them very beautiful.
I hope they don't one day startle any of your guests--just imagine what their first split second thought would be to see HANDS hanging from your wall! It might make them wary of visiting you too often. . .
Nifty! A great place to keep your glass eyeball.
How very loverly! I've seen some ceramic hands that are remniscent of blown-up medical gloves, only folded in prayer or something... but these are really beautifully shaped! Perfect for cupping something pretty (or, um... a glass eyeball, I suppose).
What a great find in all those miles of random treasursome rubble.
Ol' 'Lanche sez they look kinda handy... ...the Cowpoke LOVES them posies...
Just in case anyone was wondering- Yes I did have another post up here about a bird...but after I posted it I went back in to change something and finally ended up deleting it. Oh well. Got your comment though, A.B.!
Good choice! Very pretty!
Happy Belated Birthday, Claire! :-)
