Make Room for Me!!!

Boredom often facilitates a drive north to go walk through the Antique stores.  Usually..  there isn't a single thing I could touch price wise but I love to look.  It's fun to see "new" old things and imagine where they once lived in someone's home.  Was it a gift from Grandma, Auntie or Mom?  Was the piece something special?  Was it handed down  ... or was it something they found that gave them a moment of pure Squeeeee at finding it.  

But ... sometimes I find something within my price range and it's a squeee moment.  Pure joy at knowing I can scoop something up and actually take it home with me.  A new home, a new treasure to love.   All mine mine mine.

So .. my latest..  $8.50,  double sided taped onto a bit of cardboard.  I nearly walked past it but upon closer inspection.  Oh my .. Oh yes.. It was a Momma Ween and her 4 babies.

Now... I just have to figure out how to make her a little mini nest so she can nurse her puppies in comfort instead of being stuck to that bit of cardboard.   ;)

  3. Oh how cute! I WANT!!! LOL We used to go to antique stores a lot looking for Doxie things, but since we had to stop having our window business cause DH couldn't do ladders anymore we haven't been able to afford to keep looking. We never found one of those though, I'd have snapped it up for sure! What a wonderful find!!! :)
