I Ate My Props!!!

I bought this navy blue tablecloth and the little candle dish at a thrift shop recently…

  The clear dish is a Fostoria Americana candy dish without the top…

I think hubby got it on ebay a few years ago…

This footed plate came from TJ Maxx earlier this year and had a little red

ribbon on it…I replaced it with this one around St. Patricks Day…

I’m still not happy with my photos of white glassware…stay tuned for more tries!!!

…after I got through I ate those beautiful cherries…:-)

My kind of entertainment!!!

More About The “House Built On A Rock”

This carousel is the first thing we saw when we entered the large attraction…awesome…

 

The sheer number of carousel animals around me put me into automatic sensory overload…

 

 “The House On A Rock”

This the ladies room…hot pink seating and retro fashions …it also had floral paintings on the doors…

 

hot pink seating…built into the rocks…can’t say much more about it…

 

There were some pretty good paintings on the doors and walls…

I apologize for the photo quality but these were the worst photos I’ve ever taken …

…to top that off, I left my netbook computer in the hotel we stayed in which had all of my photos…

The good news…the nice people at the Candlelight Suites in Wisconsin shipped me my netbook…my thanks to them…

 

These are some of the doors…

 

These are the vintage fashions featured in the ladies room…

 

  I don’t recall any of the fashions but I did get a little nostalgic about the pink hula hoop…

I always loved the hula hoop…have you ever tried the hula hoop since you got …ahhh “grown-up”…

one of those mysteries of life…it doesn’t work any more!!! There should be a congressional study about why that happens!!!

 

This fountain/fire thingy was in the snack shop area…I didn’t need a snack but I sure needed to rest my tootsies!!!

That place is a pretty difficult days’ hike…

 

 

This is one of the many carousels that were there…lots of dolls…sorta creepy for me…but I’m a little opinionated about some things..

The carousels were gorgeous…it was just the dolls that made it strange…they did have lots of

gorgeous carousel animals on the walls and hanging from the ceilings…

 

They had quite a few Dragon statues…

 

This is a room-size music box thing…it was pretty neat…the guy in the middle played the big drum and

was an animated character…

 

The “Hunky” drummer…

 

How is this for a chandelier??? It is actually a group of many chandeliers and other things… 

This link will tell you more about The House On The Rock, close to Madison, Wisconsin.

Jack’a’lopes And Other “Wildlife”

How could you not love a guy who will tote your green and pink striped handbag for you!!!

It had my telephoto camera lens in it and weighed a ton!!!

 

…and took me to see this…ahhh giant rooster thingy…

 

…and take blog photos for me inside the men’s restroom…I think I had the handbag at this point…

 

  … strange…

 

…I assume this was the other side of the room…

 

…gulp…If I was him, I sure wouldn’t waste any time here…

 

…yep…pretty sure that’s one of those famous jack’a’lopes…that’s what the sign says!!!

Shelia, may I be one of your Bathroom Divas now…I finally  managed to get a photo when we were visiting Wisconsin…

…even if it is a little goofy!!!

 

 

I’ll spare you the “rest” of the photos…we were touring a place called “House In The Rock” in Wisconsin…

A “Covered” Wagon…

On the recent Memorial Day Holiday we went to Wisconsin and saw this cute little wagon somewhere along the way…It had to have been recently planted because the plants were beautiful…

 

I don’t know what this plant was but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t survive in the hot TN. sun…

 

The geraniums and petunias in the back of the wagon were perfect…

I think this is a Black eyed Susan Vine…

This little covered wagon was covered in blooms!!!
