I've loved mannequins for a long time. I once had a torso that lit up, which we used as a table lamp. Once had a full mannequin in the dining room that wore an vintage Mardi Gras costume [she came with it!] and a Shriner's hat. And I have a wonderful 50's vintage mannequin head who happily lives in my studio at home. So I was especially happy to 'come upon' mannequins on our Savannah rambles.
Moving day appears to be just that; a truck of mannequins on their way to somewhere else. There wasn't a clothing store or any other kind of shop nearby that might use mannequins. Perhaps it is a personal collection?

This team of mannequins and an array of sewing machines, reside at Number Nine, which houses classrooms for the SCAD School of Fashion. We came across this diligent woman working by herself one evening. Diligent's fish hat came about in a funny way. I wanted to add an odd element and had a dream about using fish. In my collection of fish images, I came across the fish-in-a-cup image I had created some time ago and saw the colors were just right. As I was positioning-repositioning elements, I made some of the elements in the collage not visible. When I made them visible again, I discovered that the fish-in-a-cup had positioned itself to perfectly become a hat!! Serendipity won the day!

Our Savannah stay is coming to a close. Next time will be from our favorite 'Old Florida' town, Cedar Key, on the Gulf Coast.
