Ohhhh. He is very cute. And green. Hm. Are green owls kitschy? [emoji3]
Not sure. But he is a flower vase. And was my mother's.
If blooms were coming out of his head, oh yes. Kitschy.
Among books, less garish.:flowers:
kitsch
(kĭch)
n.
Pieces of art or other objects that appeal to popular or uncultivated taste, as in being garish or overly sentimental.

Introductions are in order. On the left: Canterbury. He has been with me since the summer of 2005. On the right, Bogart, who arrived last night. He is already getting into mischief. He keeps poking his nose into things, looking for the Maltese Falcon. He's (literally) a handful, and I strongly suspect he's going to be a handful. But he's got a great attitude... a bit of a swagger to him... and I am completely smitten.

Why, these 2 innocent bears?
What mischief could they POSSIBLY get into?
I would carefully put all delicate objects up and hid tasty snacks.
From their very "sweet" expressions I foresee some very Elf on the Shelf antics this holiday season.

Kitsch cannot be bad. It's a German word. [emoji3]

Hehehe. I am with Murphy. I can see a lot of action in your very near future. [emoji3]
They are definitely cuties - but those are the worst.

OMG!!!!!:loveeyes:
These are adorable together!
Which, agreeing with Murphy & Ludmilla, usually means antics.;)
Glad you took the plunge on Bogart. Enjoy him.

All good words have good stories & people behind them.:heart:
Lucky you!!
Would skip this one if I could.
Have to prepare and pretend to eat foods I avoid the other 364 days of the the year because "tradition"..
Ugh.
You are lucky to have family to celebrate day with you.:heart:

We avoid tradition for this one.
And hike/picnic, on Thanksgiving day, instead.
Going fancy this year.:coolio: As well as vegetarian.
Making sweet potato & walnut burritos to pack. And pumpkin bread.

Shall load dog into vehicle, put coffee into a thermos & blaze out for adventures tomorrow!

Today, fixed the laundry room light.
This lacks both "blaze" & "adventure" vibe.
But is part of life, too.:yes:

Home repair is necessary. Not exactly"fun" but satisfying none the less.
A hike sounds fab. Even if you have to wash dog after.
Oldest daughter running "Turkey Trot" half marathon. Then off to a family get together.
Please send recipe for sweet potato and walnut burrito. Hubbie would love.

Your day sounds nice & active.
Recipe from American Zen Buddhist monastery cookbook, 3 Bowls.
Takes awhile to prep, but worth it!:p
