“What the heck are they?”
“They look like candle holders to me.”
“Hmmm, I don’t see any candles. Hey this one is open down to the bottom … and so is this one. Maybe they’re fancy vases.”
“Well, they sure wouldn’t hold many flowers. Wonder why Aunt Enid left them to us.”
“Honey, you know Aunt Enid. When she’d had her daily wine quota, she was liable to do almost anything.”
“That’s it! That’s what we’ll use them for.”
“Huh?”
“At our next dinner party, we’ll use them as wine glasses.”
“Well, that’s one way to start conversation. Let’s get ’em washed.”

Oooo – let’s wave them indeed – aunt would be proud – lol
Oh and I love the pondering about what these are – coz you know we were all wondering – I called them pillars – ☺️
**wash not wave
I figured that was what you meant.
🙂
It’s obviously a great story….because I thought of wine too. 😉 😀
What can we say: great minds really do think alike.
funny, maybe everyone should wear flowing robes at the dinner party.
Dear Sandra
Problem solved! Those wine glasses will make for interesting conversation. 😉 Cute story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks. I’m still not really sure what they are.
They’re jardinières, Sandra. Loved your story – although they’d make mighty huge wine glasses! 🙂

Well, at least one of my characters thought they might be for flowers, so I guess that was close. 🙂
Wine glasses work for me. I hope Aunt Enid left an equally large wind collection.
Yes, I hope she did too, because it will take close to a bottle to fill some of those “glasses.”
A brilliant idea. Isn’t it interesting to read different interpretations from a prompt? Nice one Sandra 🙂
Yes, I’m usually amazed at all the different interpretations.
Well, I thought they were candlesticks, hence my story! I wonder how much wine one would hold?
Much like the conversation in my head when I saw the photograph too. It’s good to know I’m not the only one who had no idea what these were!
If these things are what I believe they are each one will take several bottles of wine.. so that would be one hell of a party… 🙂
Love it, such ingenuity.
Thank you.
I like your natural dialogue which tells the story very effectively.
Thank you. I appreciate your reading and commenting.
Sounds like a good time!
🙂

Thank you.
