More tales of Artfest week

On our way up to Artfest, we stopped into a little antique store in Pulsbo. While looking at all the delicate (and breakable) chochskis Vanessa lost control of her quite uncharacteristically attractive purse (She has been known for carrying the ugliest abomination of a pocketbook in the past) and a glass trophy of some sort came crashing to the ground....The shopkeeper came over and carefully gathered up all the shards in a little dust pan, and began to wrap them up as you know... you break it you buy it. Luckily it was only about $5. It was not 5 minutes later that somehow, and we're not even sure what exactly happened here, but Judy knocked over the rat ugliest pair of bookends you've ever in your life seen. Again here comes the shopkeeper with her little dust pan... She wrapped both of these broken items up like they were treasures to carefully pack in our carry on luggage. As those two were coughing up their cash she asked casually "Do you ladies shop together often?"Thankfully no" we replied. Anyhoo, the above photo is an assemblage of the two broken treasures henceforth known as "the Bad Marie Award". It has a slight resemblance to my cat, Bad Marie. It is given to the most blunderheaded of the bunch, which as it turns out is a tough decision.

I showed the actual Bad Marie the photo of the award. She was not amused.
