Sisters

With Kirsty and Anita leaving for a holiday, they left us with a little game.

They posted a picture of "Logs" and the next one, in this case ME, had to start a photo with a subject starting with "S".

So, my picture is one with my Sisters on it.

Who's next?? Start with S also.......

Filligree

Ornamental fine wire work. Show us filligree in your space.

When I saw the word for today I immediately knew what my subject is. This "thing" on the necklace is a part of a snap from my husband's grandmothers jewelry.

When you look closely you can see the filigree between the 4 knobs.....

Granny wore, when she was still alive, what we call "klederdracht" (see picture below, b.t.w. this is not my husbands grandmother).

Her necklace has a golden snap on the back which had two parts. My mother in law decided that, when granny died, my sister in law and I should have a part of the jewel. A goldsmith made from the two parts of the snap two pendants and we both received one. I never were it because I think its a bit old-fashioned, but maybe when I'm "old" I'm going to were it. We'll see.........

The black earrings are made from jet (see picture below), also from a necklace. The best ones were picked out and used for the earrings.

Bowl and sharkteeth

A round, deep dish. Show us a bowl in your space today.

My soupbowls, up at the kitchencupboard.

and for the people who asked for sharkteeth....

the dark figures in the middle of the canvas are the teeth. A closer look......

You can find them on the Northseacoast, a halfhour drive from our house. Especially when there was a heavy storm the waves through up the teeth on the beach.

Sit

A position in which we relax. Who is sitting in your space today?

I know, I'm cheating a little bit. This picture, taken a while ago, shows my son sitting on the beach, looking for sharkteeth.

I tought this picture fitted the word well.

But for know.......

and guess what..... he did find a lot of sharkteeth that day.

Ok, enough with the cheating....... This picture shows my oldest son leaving for school. He is sitting of the sadle (if that's the right word) of his bike.

Today in my space: a birthdaygarland.

It's hanging in our living room since june 8, when my youngest had his birthday.

Today is my husbands birthday, so every year the garlands are there for at least a fortnight. And of course in red-white-blue and orange, because they both are soccerfans and the Dutch soccerteam is in the final for the EK-under-21.
