But you have to admit, this
I spotted this big guy from my car as I drove up to a garage sale (last year) and took a somewhat 'uninterested, just walking past him, ya know, to get to ummm, other ummmm, interesting things' glance at him then up at the garage sale hostess who was certainly watching my eye (could she tell I sooo wanted him?)! I did get a few things and finally inquired about Mr. Owl. Ceramic, made from a mold, fired & painted by an aunt or cousin in 1976 or 1978 as indicated on the bottom. Made my offer and loaded Mr. Owl and my other items in the car and could hardly wait to get a can of spray paint in my hands!!! Not a chip on this guy, and did I tell you he just has the {bEsT} personality?!

That looks amazing, I've seen similar owls for big bucks on some home decor websites.
so fun!! I would've totally passed by that silly owl without seeing the potential you did!
