Tell us about an iconic or weird object in your home.
Let me apologize for the poor quality of the photos.
The lighting is terrible, and the pictures were taken at night with no daylight to brighten the shot.
There are two items to share.
This troll was purchased from a little shop along a back road of Tennessee. (Maggie Valley area, if I remember correctly.) That was over twenty-five years ago. He’s had a few decorations added and lost a few along the way, but we’ve managed to retain his personality.
He has acted as a guardian all these years, in three different homes. We’ve got him moved into a spot where my daughter’s cat can’t get to him.
My second item is what I call a wall sculpture.
It was meant to be a garden sculpture, but I’ve never found an outdoor spot that suited it. So now, she and her little friends reside over my desk, keeping me company.
She was gifted to me by my daughter and lived in her box in my closet until we moved. Even once we arrived in Pennsylvania, it took a bit to find her a home because I was trying to force her to be outside. She didn’t fit anywhere I tried to place her, and when I gave up the effort, she let me know where she wanted to be.
There are other interesting items my husband and I have acquired along the way, but I think these two stand out.
What iconic items do the other authors on this hop have to share? Check them out by following the links below.
As always, until next time, please stay safe.

I like the garden sculpture; she looks happy to be where she is!
She does, doesn’t she! The room she is in has a frequent flow of people thru it, so she always has company.
Nice sculpture. We have similar outside, partly hidden by a tall Hebe. It was broken in our last house move and has been repaired, Kintsugi style.
She was made for outside, but has adapted well to her protected spot.
I have a almost lifesized orange ceramic goose in my garden — well, this year, she lived in front of the garage because the puppies would have broken her. But I love how she greets me when I pull into the driveway.
Puppies can wreak havoc on almost anything!
