Pretty Small Things: deer bust and textile

If you follow me on twitter, you might have noticed that I've been a little swamped with grading papers for the last week. I'll admit, it's been a lot and I have indeed been whiney about it. So you know what? Tim and I took the morning off.

A thrift store, antique store, and comic store (for Tim) later and I'm very excited to share two little treasures I picked up.


This adorable little textile was from a thrift store in Oceanside, CA. That's all I'm going to tell you because I'm greedy and that place is always so so crowded. I know, I'm a horrible person. I'm sorry.

She was only $2 and it has the most adorable imitation cross stitch print on her. Black and red aren't really in my decor palette, so I'm excited to work this little lady into the mix. (Yes, I anthromorphosize my things. It's a sickness.)

Then there's this little man. Yep, that does indeed mean I've once again adjusted the bits and bobs in my living room. It will never end. For $12 I was so happy to grab this little wooden deer bust.

Since it's a really nicely curated antique store and I want people to buy their stuff so they can stay in business, I'm going to spill the beans: Michelle's Antiques Etc.

Oh the carving details... *sigh of content*... Well, I'm going to go fill a few nail holes that resulted from this little adjustment!

Find anything neat this weekend?
