You guys are good. Real good. And hard to stump! The French Brocante Guessing Game's answer was found by the second person to comment, Zosia nabbed the winning answer with:
"It is a container that you hang on the indoor heater. The heater is usually installed under a window sill. You pour water in the container and it evaporates making the air in the room less dry. The heaters are the old ones (ribbed-style) and hot water goes through the heaters."
Many of you continued giving the answer, which was nice to see you are a bunch of brocante smartie pants. But my goal is to find something that stumps all of you. It is going to be a hard goal to fulfill, but I am going to try my hardest to do so this year.
Many of you came up with the sweet idea that the French Brocante Guessing Game object was a fake book to hide love letters, and tokens of secret affections. Patt thought it could be used as "a place to stash your brocante money."
A few of you mention it might be a vase, or a piece of tile, or pencil holder, or a hand warmer, or a gravesite ornament… Missy wrote: "…It (is something you) put between your counter and stove so food will not fall into the crack . It was made hollow so that it woudn't be heavy!"
Janet's response made me laugh out loud, when she wrote, "Nah. it's a pissoir. Easy to grab and empty in the morning."
The winner of the creative response for the
French Brocante Guessing Game goes to:
"It is a cooler – spacer for an over-abundant décolletage. Placed in the center of one's chest to cool down in the summer months."
I love it!
Please will the winners (Paulita included) send me your addresses so I can send you a prize.
Thanks for playing and being a hard bunch to stump!
