Thinga-a-ma-bob

Sigh..... I suppose that I am an ungrateful gift receiver; however, a dear friend gave this to me for my birthday this year.
She thought that this would be handy for me to use when photographing still-life images.
Ummmm.... didn't she read the label ~ this is designed to attach quilt pieces to the fabric which needs to be stretched over assorted rods!
Please take notice of the umpteen plastic rod pieces that require assembly before stretching the fabric....
BTW ~ she also gave one to a fellow Pbaser and friend. She's never used her's either....
Anybody want it???

See you found a use for it after all!! V

LOL --- well at least your friend probably had good intentions ...... then again, maybe not :-)

I understand your sigh...my advice would be a gift free birthday celebration!

Looks complicated. The friend must have a surety about its usefulness to have given it to two photographers. Interesting.

hahahaha.....what can I say!!

Okay, I think I understand. you put it together and then attach your items to it and then photograph them. Well intentioned but obviously not a photographer.

Hee, hee! :o)
Great story, Stephanie!
Looks like you might be stuck with this one!

Oh dear, I know I shouldn't chuckle - but I did.
Janice Dunn17-Nov-2011 19:05
Oh dear!! But the loving thought that went into buying it for you both - priceless!!!
Mary Terry17-Nov-2011 18:14
LOL! It was a kind gesture though.
Dawn McKenzie-Wykes17-Nov-2011 17:50
