Different Signs

I´d like to bend the meme a bit, if that´s OK... But I was all in awe about this Sign Of A Creative Mind, look:

 
Wouldn´t you treasure this, from the idea to the outcome?

Here is another:
 

 ...of Brotherhood. They speak more or less the same language with different accents - they have family in both places and if media wasn´t so false in Russia... This woman is not dumb and no one goes against her because deep down "the Russians" feel the same.

How I know? 
From a Ukrainian customer and from friend fK who learned Russian in former GDR and can easily translate Ukrainian for me.
 
This is for Tom´s Signs2... To peace... 
 
(I´ve learned that some of you think these are my words, my opinion, but it is from the internet and I think it´s interesting. so I share.
All orange text is links, you can click on it for more info, but now, here goes)

"33 retro dishes that are rarely served today
 

 Peach Melba
 
Simple but delicious! Peach Melba, a mix of peach pieces, ice cream and tart raspberry sauce, was created in London's Savoy Hotel at the end of the 19th century and was extremely popular all over the world in the 20th century. Today, the sundae is much less common on dessert menus. But thanks to its versatile flavors and bright colors, a comeback cannot be ruled out."
 
Sounds too sweet - something for you?

What does that man want, apart from the minerals. How long still. And what´s next.

I'm glad you shared both signs. Both are wonderful!!!, thank you. And about the Peach Melba, again I know the name, but never had it and that's strange.

Love the mural of Henry making his bid for peace!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, would I love to have that vase... and be so brave. I never had that drink, either...

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, everybody does, I think?

River said...

from pencils to vase, that's amazing! I like the woman bravely riding in Ukraine colours too. I have never had peach melba, though when I was very young we often had canned peaches with vanilla ice cream for dessert on Sundays in summer.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, cool vase, huh? Wish more Russians would brave up...
I never have had that drink, either...

Sami said...

I remember Peach Melba, have had the peaches and ice-cream but not with the raspberry sauce. Brave woman wearing the Ukraine colours in Russia. To peace ! Nice signs Iris

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Sami, wish there were more brave people like her...

Tom said...

CJ Kennedy said...

I've seen those pencil creations before. Amazing! I like the silent protests.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Tom. 62F, though...

Iris Flavia said...

Lucky you, Kathy, here it´s too cold still.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, wish more would protest...

I just love this post, Iris. Love that vase made from pencils. Love Ukraine, too. My house cleaner was from Ukraine and worked for me for over a year. She moved to Ohio in June. She didn't understand English, so I had to text her, and she translated it into Russian. It was very inconvenient for me, but she was an excellent cleaner, very meticulous and thorough and always on time for work. I gave her 5 stars out of 5. My current cleaners are not as good as her.

Go Team Human

Cheers

RedPat said...

That is a brave woman, Iris.

Christine said...

Wow on his creativity!

Iris Flavia said...

I´m astonished she didn´t speak English! The ones working here usually speak English and German... Sorry you second cleaner is not that good... Yes, oh, that vase...

Iris Flavia said...

YES to that! Cheers

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, RedPat, wish there were more like her!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I had to share!

Bill said...

The vase made out of pencils is stunning.

Granny Sue said...

Oh, that vase! Incredible. What an artist he is. And that woman, a quiet hero.
I would love some peach melba, I think. I have everything except the ice cream on hand. Maybe I will try it soon!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes to all and a time warp then :-)

Iris Flavia said...

To a revival!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I thought I must share the vase! I was on hold yesterday, hope to hear from the study guys today... hugs

Iris Flavia said...

We need more such brave people, Linda! Oh, I just hope for peace...

River said...

It isn't a drink, you eat it with a spoon.

Iris Flavia said...

Oh. Well, it´s sweet, right? So... unlikely I give it a go ;-)
Wow, that would´ve been some surprise...

Jeanie said...

Peach melba! Wow -- looks marvelous.

Iris Flavia said...

Well, a comeback maybe? To Cork-Poppers?

DVArtist said...
