Answer in second spoiler.

If you're having trouble figuring this one out, here's another clue. A wine glass and a rose also fit the category. Check the next spoiler for the answer.

They all have stems!

i got this one from the cherry and pipe but i didnt know the ship had a stem

Bugaboo, have you ever heard of "from stem to stern"?

now that you mention it yes
but i had never actually thought about the details and the specifics of each word in that phrase and applied it to boats before

I thought the ship might throw everyone off. I've been testing these puzzles on my husband and he said the same thing you did bugaboo. That's why I added the other two clues.

Got it! Great puzzle

I got it too. :)

very nice sailboat!

Thanks everyone and yes Kristen that is the pipe I attempted to copy!

Yeah, I didn't get the boat, either until I read this. Weird we have phrases that we don't really think of their origins and still use them, knowing their meaning or "gist" without getting the words??? Like "barrel full of monkeys"... where does that come from???

So true GabrielMyCat. I looked around on the web and couldn't find a consensus where barrel full of monkeys originated. Maybe colloquialisms should be my next series!
