A Hidden Treasure

As we wandered around the sales at the "Fall Harvest Festival", my dear hubby spotted the top of this little lovely, hidden behind a table displaying a huge set of dishes. He mentioned it to me, so I peeked under the table and immediately knew it was an interesting piece. When we asked the gentleman if it was for sale, he replied he didn't think so and that he would have to ask. Someone thought it was a prop, and then this sweet lady piped up " If someone wants to buy it, sell it for crying out loud." When she asked me what I thought it was worth, I named my price and she said "SOLD."

I immediately envisioned it standing in my garden however it's too fragile for the outdoors. He stands 3 feet tall and fits perfectly in our home.

I just love when you find a little something special, something you don't really need but it still fits into your life. But what I love the most is the fact that Thom thought of me when he spotted it, knowing I would love it.

Your cherub is an awesome find ~ and where you have it in your bathroom by the whirlpool tub is the perfect spot for him. It's like he was built just for that spot. He looks shorter in the picture than in real life. lol ~ kinda like you! ha!! p.s. my treasure find ~ the old blue chair looks pretty darn good now that I applied a little elbow grease and cleaned it up. I have it sitting in my living room right now. I'm still debating whether or not to keep it there or to move it down to the family room in the basement. Don't you just love it when one man's junk becomes another man's treasure ~ especially when we're the one's on the receiving end for a change. My new to me but old oil lamp cleaned up nice too. I still need to go and find a globe for it; but it fits right in with the rest of my collection.

What an awesome find. Cherubs are so charming. I know he'll be a happy part of your home. I agree with everything Mel said about treasures. It's so true. ;)

Wishing you a special Sunday of smiles!
