WARNING ~ Road Kill or Vintage Fashion ?

Of all the many and varied items we get it is vintage furs that people, including myself,  always have on one side the most horror about and on the other the most fun. You may remember another chap I blogged about here.

I just couldn't help but think "Road Kill" with these guys though, particularly the one at the front.

With his little arms and legs still attached he reminds me of a cartoon character that has been steam rolled over.

Look at that little face.

The other guy is another story. I am still trying to figure out exactly what creature he is or rather was. He seems a mixture of goat/sheep/dog ??? I am not sure either if his brown tips are original or dyed.

They have both made their way over to The Woolloongabba Antique Centre. When I took them over every person that passed them by stopped to laugh or try them on with their friends and do a bit of a fashion show. One mother spent ages explaining to her wide eyed children how they had once been... "little animals...see there little legs and look there is his little ears...and ladies would wear them like this." She draped it around her shoulders. I am not sure if the children were traumatised or intrigued by her explanation and modelling but their eyes were as big as saucers and they stood transfixed, on the spot.

 Hope you have all had a lovely weekend. Sorry I have been a bit slack on visiting everyone, my youngest trouble maker is not well, still deciding if a hospital visit is on the cards, fingers crossed for me and her that it's not.
