Bargain Yellow Polka Dot Tablecloth

Didn't manage to get a photo of it before that bowl of messy chicken wings were devoured at teatime.

USA Corner

Finished off with an American Flag adorned Yankee Candle (another thing I collect), I think USA Corner is finished.

Ceramic Eagle catching a Fish Wall Plaque

Isn't this quite the beauty? This majestic fellow was bought for me by my husband.

We've put him at the head of the flying ducks in the hall.

Michael Miller's Our Modern Home Fabric

If the inside of my brain was lined with fabric, this would be what it would look like.

Michael Miller has an incredible range of kitsch fabrics, of which I will be buying and blogging about as I buy more.

I can't even sew a hem, so I don't know what to do with this fabric, but I'll get thinking. Now it's arrived it seems too good to chop into bunting triangles.

Retro Oriental Cherry Blossom Picnic Flask

Beautiful 1950's reproduction picnic flask. Had seen these online, but found some in TK Maxx for £4.99 this morning. I chose blue and couldn't resist buying the cream and pink version for my Mum too, at that price.

Retro Diner Clock

Nice reproduction,1950's Diner clock from Tesco, £12.

6ft Prairie Dog Sculpture Roadside Attraction in Belfast

Very cute, new sculpture outside the gates of Belfast Zoo.
Large prairie dog emerging from the pavement. Reminds me of American Roadside Oddities, like giant dinosaurs at trucker cafes.

Belfast Zoo has a large prairie dog community, who have expanded their territory from their enclosure out onto a nearby hillside. They are quite tame, so a highlight of a visit is often hand feeding a prairie dog on this hillside when they poke out of their tunnels

Excellent idea for a piece of 'art' to promote the zoo.
