My Comfort Zone

I found these antlers at that yard sale last week.

They are definitely not my style, nor to my liking, nor of my taste.

But I bought them anyway.

Why?

I hear they're trendy, and people are decorating with them, so I followed along with the crowd.

I can barely look at them, let alone touch them, so I'm hoping they sell quickly at my next show.

I'm not sure which creeps me out the most, the antlers of a dead animal or those scary Christmas elves. It's a close one.

Ahh, now this is more my speed.

Even better that there were two of them!

Nothing scary here -- I'm back in my comfort zone!

Speaking of comfort, here's another way to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy -- donate socks (and gloves, hats, and mittens too) to Socks for Sandy!

I swear you live in the typewriter capital of the country. I could hunt around my meadow for some antlers, if you'd like. (There was some kind of animal skull out there last fall ... I'm sure I could have sold it on Etsy, but you know, even I have some limits)

Ok, the antlers are scariest! I don't know why people dig them, but to each their own I guess. I have seen them using them for decorating lately. Hopefully they move fast for you!

You sure have the best luck finding those gorgeous typewriters!
I have several deer antlers just chilling in the closet, awaiting the day when we retire and they can grace the walls of our little cabin in the woods! I wish I could keep them in the garage, but did you know that mice eat antlers? Ewwwwww.....

I've found myself buying things that I don't like, especially for my "Mantiques" booth. We must make money, after all!
