This first one is a couple of weeks old, but it still makes me cringe, so of course I want to share it with you. These are Valentine's Day flowers I saw at the grocery store, but I wouldn't personally call this an upgrade.
It's just my personal preference, but I don't like glitter sprayed on poinsettias at Christmas, nor do I like roses heavily encrusted with glitter and odd white dust for Valentine's Day. I wonder if they sold many of these?
This second one is a bit weird, but I've never noticed this before. I was leaving Walmart, happened to look up at a flock of seagulls, and wondered about these clear "whiskers". They are on the upper edges of the yellow asterisk and all the white letters.
But then I noticed the probable reason for the whiskers ...
... to keep seagulls from roosting. Nobody wants to see Walmart * covered in seagull poop!
The last one is not weird, just interesting and nice. Justin visited a winery and brought me a present.
Sixty percent dandelion, 30% orange, and 10% raisin is definitely an escape from the normal! It's delicious, so much so that I had to have two glasses and keep myself from finishing the bottle.
Head on over to Carole's for more Three on Thursday, and possibly an escape from the normal!
I am not a fan of glitter on ANYTHING. It gets everywhere and you can never get rid of it. And it's a major pollutant! I feel bad for those plants.
ReplyDeletethat is a mixed bag! I'm glad you ended on the happy note :-)
ReplyDeleteWe have those spikes on our windows at work - it is in fact to keep birds from roosting there and building up a nice layer of poop.
ReplyDeleteThe more you know. :-)
I am with you in thinking those roses are a downgrade! What the heck?? And, that wine... how interesting! Where on Justin find that? I will have to keep my eyes open for that around here!
ReplyDeleteOh yuck to the flowers (I wouldn't even call them flowers at this point). I've never seen the whiskers but they sure do make sense. And that wine! Your have a very sweet son Bonny.
ReplyDeleteGlitter on ANYTHING makes me cringe. I put any glittered card I get directly into the trash can. Glittered roses! I feel SO BAD for the rose! Whiskers keep the pigeons off in our neck of the woods. Oh my, I would love to try a glass of your wine, but I'm not sure you'd share. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm OK with a little glitter if used in good taste and with extreme restraint -- sometimes it adds just the right bit of bling & sparkle. This is NOT any of the above. Yuck. So ugly.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Who knew Walmart had whiskers?? (Now we do! Thanks, Bonny.)
Whoa. Interesting vino!
I do like a little bling now and then -- but NEVER ON FLOWERS!!! Those glitter-encrusted roses are an abomination. That wine sounds interesting - and tasty. Apparently my grandfather made dandelion wine regularly. Family lore says it was better than his peach wine. I wouldn't know, as I never was allowed to sample either. . .
ReplyDeleteThe wine sounds delicious but those roses! Why would anyone do that?? Although I'm not into glitter, I can see maybe glittering just the very edge of the petals for a hint of bling but... Good Lord! Those roses are awful!
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are truly cringe-worthy. I saw some much like them in my grocery. Just think about all that stuff shedding all over the place - yuk. The wine sounds so good! And yes, no poop on the signs, please, to drop all over the customers - ha ha!
ReplyDeleteglitter gets everywhere! Love the label on the wine :)
ReplyDeleteIm with you on the glitter..its is just a mess
ReplyDeleteIt seems nobody here likes glitter, at least not on their flowers!
