The wonderful thing about all these was that they were REAL, not copies.<br /><br />This collection of prints is one of the nicest that I have ever seen.

I guess I have a really warped sense of humor, too.

It would be more like a "Here Is All My Stuff In a Pile" blog. Not as much fun, methinks!<br />I have a new dog for my collection. Tallulah the English Bulldog. I wasn't looking for a dog but the rescue I volunteer for called me and asked if I knew anyone who was able to care for a neglected, unloved girl. I said no.<br />That is a lie, of course. We brought her home last night.<br />Too much information? Perhaps.<br />I just noticed the bullseye mirrors look like big 'ol owl peepers! Good one!<br /><br />xo<br /><br />AndieDivine Theatrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02553420826262806110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-27714877941456848012012-11-17T19:24:44.363-05:002012-11-17T19:24:44.363-05:00I love the owls even more than I love the dogs!
