things that make you go hmmmm......

one of my gifts this year from my m.i.l. was this.

i have to confess that when i opened it i was a bit perplexed.

what is it exactly?

on the surface it looks like a doily.

but it has all these snaps on it.

i talked to my s.i.l. colleen and asked her what it was.

"a really pretty doily. you know what a doily is right?"

well, yes i knew what a doily was but that didn't explain the snaps.

then my m.i.l. called and asked me how i liked the gift.

i told her it was beautiful.

"do you know what it is?"

"why no i do not"

so she explained it to me.

have you already figured it out??

it holds a dozen rolls.

she received one from her s.i.l. a few years ago when they were serving the church in switzerland.

i could have stared at that thing for days and not figured out it's purpose.

i do love the display it creates though.

thanks mom!
