I found a little Swedish Dala horse at the thrift store for $2.35. I think he used to be sold at Ikea and had the worst paint job ever. Oh, and a cheap pair of wire rim glasses, he was like an emo math nerd Dala.

He got a makeover with a fresh coat of glossy black paint and now kicks it in the den with my little ceramic viking dude. Is it me or is it getting so very Euro around here? Well, Euro via thrift store – not because I’m actually worldly or anything.

Pairs of pears, pairs of Swedes, pairs of seventies Mexican ceramic creatures. Ahhhhh collecting. How it spirals insanely out of control so easily.

I never would have thought that I’d find a little friend for the giant pear terrarium. But look-y who walked magically into my life after a trip to Revival Thrift in Palm Springs.

What a cutie for $3.

I really need to get to planting some succulents or something in my empty pair pals. Its been one of those projects on my to-do list that just never seems to get done. I’ve been really busy sleeping and just working hard at being a lazy dirt bag…just take a look at the half primed house and unfinished bathroom.

Pear terrariums aren’t really ranking high on my list of crap that needs resolving.
