Squash display and a potion making board
Thanksgiving is coming, and I still haven't made a turkey, but I did make some Squash! Also, shades of Halloween, but here's a potion making board as well.
I am gushing over the squashes . Agree with Jeanette here that they are the BEST!
Kiva, when I was in Sri Lanka , I saw these orange coconuts the Lankans call King Coconuts. The husks are hairless and smooth like baby bottoms. They are very pretty and kind of reminded me of you. Because you make such great coconuts, NOT because you look like them, silly! :):):) I also had the best jackfruit curry . Now checking to see if Singapore has Sri Lankan restaurants :).
Both works are fantastic! The potion board reminds me of the herbal medicine shops in China. A peculiar smell emanated from the dried plants and things... you've captured the feeling perfectly!
Thanks guys!!!! Yep, pumpkins and squash...VERY addictive. This is the first time I've made a potion making board and that was fun too!! I had a mini cauldron and mortar and pestle in my stash, so the wheels started turning.
Carol, we have those shops here in Hawaii, in Chinatown!!! They are fascinating, aren't they?? I always want to know what everything is, because I want to buy magic elixirs ;-)!
Hey Eva!! That greenhouse of yours is just stunning!!!
By far the best pumpkins I've ever seen!Jeannette
