Title: Silverware
Post by: Rosemary on March 14, 2012, 07:35:34 pm
Here's the Scottish Smallholder and Grower Festival's first silverware - the Rosedean Salver for the best Coloured Ryeland.

We'd be very happy to recieve other prizes for the Festival  :trophy:

Very smart  :trophy: :thumbsup:   
I'm still scratching my head for a suitable trophy for the best horns. I thought of a glass block with a horny sheep inside, but I could never keep up on the mortgage repayments if I commissioned that  ::) 
 Any ideas for something which won't break the bank but is still appropriate?

I suppose it couldn't be a real set of horns, since that would relate to one breed specifically.  Could someone arty crafty come up with something made from horns that evoked horns but wasn't breed or type specific?   Else, a unicorn!   :D

Hmm, a fancy crook might be hard to get back from the winner each year  ;D

Yes, really pleased with it. It's from The Angus Trophy Centre in Carnoustie - really nice bloke and he's done a really good job with the engraving.

Now that's a question - Rosemary, is the best horns section for just sheep, or for goats  :goat:, cattle  :cow:, little devils  :reindeer: and anything else with horns?

Thank you Robert  :wave:, but I have lots of horns, some curly, some straight - mostly black as you can imagine, and Sally - a unicorn I can do  ;D  :thumbsup:.  So now I'm thinking along the lines of a Viking drinking horn..........maybe your jersey horn might be best for that after all Robert.  Will have to discuss with Him-indoors  ;)
