[QUOTE="Finnclouds, post: 9730873, member: 84680"]I’ll go off on another tangent for just one post: went to a local museum that has an extensive Rene Lalique collection and there were several glass and jewelry items with pinecone/pinebranch motifs. Lovely, lovely jewelry! Reminded me of the pinecone etc discussion. :) Especially as the museum also has antique Persian ceramics and tapestry with pomegranates and lotus flowers and tulips. No pineapples, though. Or poppies. :) It was funny how things that looked like pomegranates where sometimes identified as lotus and vice versa. The guard could offer no explanation, just pointed to the display notes. Edit. This site loads really slow on my laptop. This was for AJ. Didn’t see Cheryl’s post. :-([/QUOTE]
