SSS BRIC-A-BRAC

(http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/rabbit-figurine--heartwood-creek-by-jim-shore-animals)
 Welcome to Saturday Scavenger Shots!
Today's work is "bric-a-brac"...
as evidenced by the piece above.


 A bit of bric-a-brac found here in the hole.


It's Mr. Moose!
... a bit of bric-a-brac that I made myself.

I am, as shown, a real fan of bric-a-brac...
though I try to keep the clutter to a minimum!

It is the nature of bric-a-brac that we all seem to collect some of it.
I leave the frilly or fragile to Little Bunny Fru-Fru...
and tend to collect the hand-made
or 
oddity varieties.
In fact, I like to collect "ugly" things.
Some one should want them!

Well, Boo and Saucy are coming down to visit...
they are still 43 miles away and made the error of texting...
I demanded a mocha!

Today we will barbecue T bones
and this evening we are all going to see 
The Green Lantern.
Woot!
Hope your weekend is just as happy.
Big grins.

=:D
