Moose or Mouse? rescued from Christmas's past.....

 This Fall at a yard sale
 I picked up this box of Christmas goodies not knowing what treasures
I was in store for well this little handmade ornament was at the bottom
of the box.....so moose or mouse?
Indeed this little fellow from the 70's is you guessed it
Moose poop......how gross!
but kind of cute, right?

 I loved these little girls with there polka dot hoods!
 Remember these I was about 9 back in the 70's and we had a 
babysitter one night and she was working on one of these ornaments.
I think they are so pretty and this box was full of them.
Some Christmas items should be left behind (moose poop) but these
I'm glad got rescued!
I hope your all having a wonderful week also!

  5. Love all the goodies, very cute!!! What a surprise to find that little moose ornament at the bottom of the box. The things they make with moose droppings!! I actually think he is kind of cute....it's the moose earrings that that I see in the tourist shops that puzzle me!!!

  6. I want the two gals, they are so gorgeous.
    I never knew people make things with moose droppings. Clearly, I have been living a sheltered life!!! xxx

  9. Oh, homemade ornaments are my favorite too.
    Well, I think I'd pass on the moose ornament though.
    Those hooded girls are sweet, for sure!

  10. I LOVE your beaded ornaments! I have some similar gems that DH's grandmother made years ago. They have hung on our tree every year since my FIL passed away. No one else in the family wanted them and they had been put in a box of "throw aways" when I found and rescued them.

  12. Awww those two little girls are sweet love anything red and polka dot. Maybe not so much love for moose poop though even if it has been decorated! lol.

    The handmade baubles are lovely and a wonderful find.

  14. I'm with you on moose poop anything!

    I got a box of old ornaments many years ago from an elderly woman who was moving to the Pioneer Home. It was so sad - she had no family to give them to. There were some sweet things in there that eventually became part of our collection. No moose poop, thank God!
