Terrifying, Towering Shadows


Terrifying Towering Shadows makes it sound frightful, doesn't it?
Why, it's just a tower of glass tea cups.....
However....it's terrifying for a mother of preschoolers when they come into the store!
Today, we thought we'd meditate on this happy, spring-like shadow...being that there is snow, snow everywhere
"think spring thoughts....think spring thoughts....!"
For more fabulous shadows - head on over to Australia and visit Hey Harriet...where you can escape the snow, (even though it may be for a moment!)

  3. We hope this leaning tower of cups are steady in their saucers. The glass mugs seem wonderful to drink tea in while sitting on the veranda (on a warm day, of course :>)

    I agree, do not let the youngsters try to rearrange this setting. I would fear to view the potential results...

  4. Towering shadows,
    teetering cups, wandering
    light—nothing to sup!

  7. LOL! Oh, how I know that feeling of terror when I open a cabinet of china in this house! ;-) Love the green depression glass. I particularly love the way it looks when light hits it.

  12. Glass shadows - my favourite of all! I can relate to the 'terrified mother' though - I used to make my children sit on the floor when in the vicinity of fragile goods, particularly after one of them ended up IN the window display . . .

  15. Lovely green glass cups..and their shadows.

    That tower would be unnerving if one has tots in tow!

    Enjoy your snowy weekend. We don't have any in Connecticut. But the sky is quite white.

  18. I'm afraid to breathe - I might blow down your tower of cups and saucers!

  19. Depression glass, no? It sure makes a nice shadow, and colorful to boot!

    Forget about a child. I wouldn't want my husband around it!!

  20. I redid the window of the store today...THINK SPRING...if we all chant, maybe it will come sooner.

    However this week while driving home from Sisters, there were many flights of Canada geese, all coming home to nest...YEA SPRING!!!
