Weird Antique Store Finds


Yes, you can own you very own Native American boggle-googley-eye guy
 with a peace pipe (clearly filled with more than tobacco) for just $20!  
Creeeeppy!


Same antique store - they are apparently greyhound lovers.  
When you use the bathroom, no matter where you are, you are being observed by
 thousands of eyes.  The entire bathroom was covered in dog pictures.  

After seeing the googly-eyed picture, then the bathrooms, 
I felt a little ... exposed.


And most recently, I found a handmade, plush Mr. T doll.  
He was cozily sitting in a (real, antique) high chair in the front room of a shop somewhere.  
Complete with gold-like chains, bracelet and rings, he was pretty bad ass.  For a $32 doll.

Marionette Poster Art


 While vacationing in Brown County and wandering through the small town shops, we came across a puppet theater called the Melchior Marionettes.  I had never been to a puppet theater before and thought it really cool that an art like this was still around.

Unfortunately, it was closed when we were there and we were not able to see a performance.  However, outside there were these three small posters hanging in the outdoor performance area.

I love the old look of them and the nostalgic feeling they give.
