We're ripping up the back of the store this weekend to paint the wall, so shadows were put on the back burner...however ~ we couldn't resist! Last night, while having dinner, we saw this fantastic shadow ~ and of all places it was in my bookcase.
This is a chrysanthemum McCoy vase that was a wedding gift of our grandmother's. Karrie & I were lucky to have gotten many old vases & containers from Grandma, hence, this is why I probably can't get enough of old vases today!
Just like vases, we are addicted to Shadow Shot Sunday....won't you join us over at Hey Harriet this weekend?

What a lovely vase and a great shot! I know I've gotten to feel like a shadow detective, too, always prowling around looking for them! Sure is fun though!
Have a great day!

Grandmother’s old vase
ensconced in shadows—somewhere
within a light glows.

I used to have this vase too...OK, I confess...I had hundreds of McCoy vases etc...didn't everyone, collectors you know how we are...all gone now to new homes...less dusting(like I dust) ha!
Sweet vase! I'm glad you still found time to play along in between the shop painting. Yup, you're addicted! Me too! All the best with the shop revamp :)
Oh and I like the sound of those muffins in your previous post. Must try those!

That is cool,this is a great way to challenge me to keep my eyes open!
I have mine up, as this is the first time I have participated in this challenge.!
Lovely, mysterious quality to your shot. Thirty years ago, my next door neighbor had six McCoy vases in her yard sale. I'm still kicking myself for not buying them.
lovely vase, it is an ideal subject for shadow shots beign such an intriguingly textured shape
Amazing, beautiful vase and great shadows!
Just beautiful! And I love McCoy vases!

Oh! when I saw "Help" and just a glimpse of the photo, I thought your aiming was your "brain" §;-) he he
My dummy analysing mood... But hey, this vase is really an awesome one.

It's it wonderful how we begin to see shadows all around us we might never have noticed before SSS! Thanks for visiting my shadows at Happily Retired Gal this weekend.
Hugs and blessings,
Beautiful shadow shot, and a beautiful vase!
