Lovely spot. A lot of wood, therefore it is great in sepia.

No – not me running. I would probably be gasping after about ten steps. Of course, that can change. In truth, this was a tiny part of a larger picture of a woman sitting at Starbucks. The entire pictures can be seen a couple of post further down.

Yes, the plastic people are very cool. It was a fun half hour exploring and photographing them. One remains outside the art gallery making a Shhhh sign to those who enter.

The wood worked teddies are particularly nice. Well polished and round in shape.
I think Kris wood love one for her baby nephew.
(Come to think of it, I hardly know newborn babies these days. Even my grandmother friends only have two yearlings at the best. Serina had a friend who became the mother of a little girl this summer, so we are not all out of touch with the new world.)

It’s a shame when one doesn’t have a baby to buy gifts for. They are always soo cute. The gifts I mean. Babies are wonders. No less.

I’m not certain what the sign means – does it mean working with our hands or a pre-OSHA warning to watch what you are doing??

The teddy bears shows a craftsman’s handiwork. Furniture might be his main business, but the bears are a whimsical work of art also!

  What it means… you tell me! I thought it’s the warning you mentioned. I’m also wondering if it is truly from the 19th century or is it just someone from nowadays sense of humor?

I love the sign. Leave with all your fingers after you’ve done your woodworking in a careful manner.

I think it is an old saying – just a guess, since it uses the word digit instead of finger.

The wood shop is a perfect sepia subject, Leora. I’m a day late visiting SS friends. Can’t keep up!

I do hope you can see the first of my ghost posts :-O

I always hope for “10 digits when I start, 10 digits when I depart,” Leora! LOL! Great sepia shot!
