antique

This is one of the many antiques that my mother has gifted to me. But this is one that I kept. It appears to be just a pewter table decoration, but each petal of the flower is removable, and when you flip them over they are ashtrays! They were designed for guests to carry around at your party so they wouldn't ash on the floor. How cool is that?Anyway, I didn't really shoot anything relevant to my day today because it was all work. I've got several irons in the fire right now (wedding photos, wedding invitations and an exhibit coming up). But also? I'm planning a European vacation, so there's been lots of research on hotels, neighborhoods, weather, Euro conversions and the like. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'm just explaining that much of my time today was spent on the computer, which resulted in this simple photo of house decor.But don't fret. Tomorrow should be good. You know why? Cuz Lucero is in town. And they're playing at the zoo. So tomorrow might be photos of lions, tigers, bears or Ben Nichols. Take your pick.
