When I saw this yellow basket with lightbulbs I thought of a song I heard Ella Fitzgerald sing on the first jazz album I bought. (Strange how a mind can work)

A-Tisket A-Tasket
A green and yellow basket
I bought a basket for my mommie
On the way I dropped it
I dropped it, I dropped it
Yes on the way I dropped it
A little girlie picked it up
And took it to the market
She was truckin' on down the
Avenue without a single thing to do
She was peck, peck, peckin' all around
When she spied it on the ground
A-Tisket A-Tasket
She took my yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I shall die
(Was it red?)
No, no, no, no
(Was it brown?)
No, no, no, no
(Was it blue)
No, no, no, no
Just a little yellow basket
Nice shot, yes it is funny what triggers those memories.

Cheerful light bulbs. My mind also makes strange connections!

Dat is wat hersens doen. Als ik ooit normaal wordt word ik direct gek van blijschap. Mooi gevonden

I'm always amazed by the things that have been hiding in my mind for decades only to re-emerge when the right stimulus comes along!

Lovely basket of light bulbs. Ready for Christmas decor, I would say.

@vignouse Thank you for your nice comment, I'm so glad everyone here seems to have the same thing.........must have something to do with creativity.

@sangwann Thank you Dione, they used these lightbulbs under the parasols for extra light. Now you mention Christmas I have seen a lot of shops who sell C.decorations in their shops.
