There is just something so cute about a doggie. You don't have to own a dog to appreciate these little ceramic pooches all marked either Japan or Occupied Japan. The faces are well painted and their expressions just so darn adorable.
The shop also is home to these metal dog figurines. Not just cute keepsakes, they are weighty enough to serve duty as paper weights. They are looking for a new home. At top sits a chalkware soulful-eyed little doggie.
Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you at the shop.

Love this update on what's new at the shop! I have exactly one piece of hammered aluminum. It's a tray that was once my Grandma's, and it's sitting in a cupboard. I really should drag it out and use it for something, just so I can see it and be reminded of Grandma!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Your shop is in Maine. We used to drive up to Northern Maine to visit my Dad until we had Dear Bebe. Now that she is getting a little older we may begin driving up there again, although it is a 12 hr drive for us. (Dad lives near Canada)
ReplyDeleteIf we go I will have to get the location to come visit your shop!!!!
