It's true! I really get a kick out of the little buggers! Every now and then I get pretty cross with them when they nip off the top of a tulip or tip over my Fairy in the Fairy Garden, but overall they bring me more pleasure than pain.
Today I thought I would do a little squirrel round-up at my house, just to find out how many squirrely things I had. I surprised even myself!
#1
A vintage covered candy/nut dish...
#2,3
A new plate I picked up a few years ago. A vintage McCoy Pottery Squirrel.
#4
A new resin piece I picked up on clearance last year.
#5
A book by Richard E. Mallery that I purchased a year after moving into our home with its squirrel-icious filled backyard.
#6
A vintage Danish print I purchased years ago.
#7
A squirrely souvenir found at an estate sale.
#8
A squirrel nut-cracker....
#9
A concrete squirrel that I painted in honor of our occasional visitors the White Squirrels.
#10
A squirrel sweater I bought on clearance a few years ago.
#11,12?
A pair of vintage Squirrel Salt and Pepper shakers, also found years ago.
The squirrels above are my very own, however I have had a few squirrels in my Etsy shop. Remember the
Green Squirrel (still available) ........
....and the book Miss Suzy? Sorry she's been sold.
Now I've just added another
Squirrel on Log Planter,
1950's Vintage by Enesco. Click on the links if you'd like to see more.
If you are also nuts about squirrels, you should get your very own! Either the real live furry ones or the cute little pottery kind above!
Oh, and the one thing I learned from the squirrel book is this...
"If there's a squirrel, there's a way!"
