Yesterday we were downtown when the Piccolo Spoleto Arts and Crafts Fair opened. We love going but a main attraction this year was a friend's booth in the Crafts Fair. Phil had been working evenings and weekends making wonderful wooden boxes. He uses woods from all over the world to make his little boxes. One particular box had at least 7 different woods in it!
There are so many wonderful objects d' art that one can go crazy IF one has money to spend! Alas - we didn't have that problem! So I just took pictures so that we can keep the memory of all the wonderful things we didn't buy!
The hand blown glass bowls were over $1,000 each but so beautiful!
On my 365 project the theme this week is Shadows. I thought these shadows were wonderful and all together make a great picture.
We decided to "buy" this one! It would look very nice in our living room!
We had seen things similar to this in Mexico but never up this close. They were amazing. Just look at the detail in all these dead people! Each of these figures is only about one inch high. I don't know how this is done but I love it. They were made by Indians in the Andes.
We really wanted this picture also. It is just so southern - so lowcountry. White Roe Shrimp season begins tomorrow in South Carolina!! Yea! I have missed my shrimp!
And these are Didgeridoos!! They are a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australian about 1500 years ago. That is one old instrument. It makes sort of an eeire sound but we liked it! I wanted one of those too but I know myself....I wouldn't learn to play it!
And in honor of all our beer drinking friends - I took this picture for you but it was VERY expensive so I didn't buy it for you!
