So stop on by to check out this lovely assortment and visit all the other fine merchants at ESN who have fruit items that you may fancy.
An on-line store featuring many different items, some used, some new, some collectible. Weird, fashionable, usable or just pretty or pretty ugly. But never dull! I'll add a little history or background or just a little whimsy to the items I display here. I'll also write about, on occasion, the meanderings of how I'm viewing life, and some fun foods and recipes I find along the way; because life is about the journey not the destination.

Fruit, Real or Fake are Lovely in Decorative Bowls
I was pondering fruit bowls and was wondering why everyone all over the world likes them, whether they be filled with real fruit or handcrafted fruit items of many differing materials. I couldn't find a definitive answer but I'm going to guess it's just like having vases of flowers around the house, to add charm, decoration and ambiance. Of course, I suppose most of us would only put decorative fruit bowls in kitchens, dining rooms or living rooms. Flowers of course can go in any room. I myself, have a lovely handmade plate from Fez, Morocco on my counter in my kitchen that at this moment I have oranges, apples and an avocado in. And as I look around my condo I realize I have dried lavender bunches hanging in my living room and both bedrooms. Wrapping up this week's scavenger hunter's theme of fruit at Ecrater Stores Network I chose a lovely bowl of agate fruit from Sirocco's Curios. It does have a few eggs in the basket, not sure how eggs correlate to fruit, but I guess you always get a fruit garnish with your scrambled eggs at restaurants.

What a great selection for your blogging theme. This is really nice and maybe there is a culture where the eggs and fruit have a meaning. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting about my fruit bowl. I guess the eggs don't really belong but they make an interesting conversation piece. Everyone will ask, "What are those eggs doing in there?"
