Lesley, the Funky Art Queen issued a Ten Tiny Things challenge last week. The challenge was extended to Tuesday, June 30th. With my love of all things miniature, I couldn't resist playing along. The above photograph is my official submission.The rules of the challenge are:
1) find 10 tiny things and group them together
2) photograph them
3) post about them on your blog
4) go to Funky Art Queen's blog, leave a comment and a link back to my blog.
I found these mini chairs at a yardsale and paid a whopping 10 cents a piece for them. I chose them for this challenge because they are colorful, cheerful and summery.
I had so much fun taking the first picture (in the coffee shop) that I continued to carry them around all day, photographing them in different settings.
Here are a few places the chairs found themselves today:
at the local coffee shop
with lovely Sarah, the bank teller
under a tree in the park
in the window of a fine furniture store
(can you find them? click on the photos for a closer view)
here's another view
hanging with the cows at a local dairy farm

alas, only one green chair in the collection! hilarious! musie, you're more fun than a barrel of monkeys! i just wanted to ask you if your "moment of awareness" sidebar is something you have made. are those your questions?
Hi Kitty, wow, I haven't heard that expression in ages! Yes, the moment of awareness is something I just made up as well as the questions. Sometimes I just think about my own moment of awareness and what I'm feeling and type it out.
This is so cool. Love those miniatures. Great job!
It's totally awesome. What a great way to incorporate mindfulness and yoga into everyday life. Couple of weeks ago you had one for forgiveness that was really good. I hope you've written these quips down so you can book them! Good stuff!
Thanks Kitty - actually I don't write them down and it recently occurred to me that I should jot them down in a notebook or keep a record of them somewhere. I'll start now. Better late than never!
JFKlaver: Thanks ~ It was a ball!
While I am likely to vote for any of the cow shots (being a central PA girl and all), I l.o.v.e. the choice you made with the flowers. Very cute!
The shot of visiting the store, though, was a riot!!
wv: worms: now that's boring...
what fun!!!! are they going in your fairy garden now?
Very cute!! Your really did go a little wild with the chairs! My favorite is the first with the geranium.
They made me smile! Such fun. !
I love them and I am sure that my kids would say that they are perfect for the Wood Elves and fairies . . . .
you are just too cute... love the shot at the furniture store :)
This is hysterical, you utter loon!!! Soon you'll be wearing a wig and photographing yourself around town....
Love this idea, such fun. I'm SO playing.
Where have your gremlins gone btw? I neeeeed them!

Cyndy: Those cows were so funny. The longer I fiddled with the chairs, the more lumbered over to see what was going on. By the time I was done, the fence was lined with cows sticking their snouts and tongues out. I rescued the chairs just in time! And the store was fun, too. I just asked the owner if I could step inside the window and take the shot and he said "sure". Central PA friendliness at it's best.
Janet: You know, I hadn't thought about it, but I suppose they could! I'm going to try it. Thanks for the idea.
Hit40: I did go wild and could have done it all day.
Delena: So glad it made you smile :-)
Lola: They would be perfect for the wood elves and fairies! Keep your eyes opened at yard sales...the lady I bought them from couldn't wait to get rid of them.
marinik: That's my favorite too. I only wish I'd take more shots like sitting on the furniture or farther back. I was trying to be respectful of the owner and got in and out in 10 minutes.
Spud: You know, you may be right! Amazing how courageous you get with a fancy pants camera. I've packed the gremlins off. Don't worry, they always find their way back when I least expect it which is their dastardly nature.
Great post! It really brightened my evening (do I want them bright? probably not, but it made me smile and that's always good)
I love the cows. I have a friend that is a dairy farmer and I "adopted" a baby cow. Well, till they sold it for meat =(
His name was Maynard. He looks like the one in your picture.
