Lets Play What Is This

Good morning dear sweet friends.

How is your week going for you?

The other day Bob and I saw 4 magnificent bald eagles
out on the ice near our dock.
By the time I got my camera they started to fly away.
Darn.
They always come when the ice is in the river to hunt.
Folks up and down the river have been seeing them now.
Maybe I will get another chance at snapping a pic.

So this morning I wanted to find out if my talented
and bright blogging buddies knew what this.

Bob and I came across it at an antique store and I had to have it.

This piece would have hung from the ceiling.


It did not hang in your home.


You would have found this in a General Store.

In the 1800's it held a certain item that folks needed.


More specifically when people traveled via horse and buggy.

Often times it was not used for the purpose it was intended for.


Many slaves knew what it was and never used it.


If you guessed a whip, you are correct.


This display item held

Buggy Whips.

Each little slot would hold one whip in place 

for customers to shop.

You might be asking yourselves now,

since I do not own either a buggy or a horse,

why would I purchase something like this?

I do not want to spoil the secret, 

but this will be incorporated into the bedroom redux.

I cannot wait to show this off!

If you have any ideas how you would use this, please share.

I might change my mind....

Buggy Whip Blessings To All!
