\"\"<\/a>Sept 29, 2025<\/p>\n

Tell us about an iconic or weird object in your home.<\/h3>\n

Let me apologize for the poor quality of the photos.<\/h4>\n

The lighting is terrible, and the pictures were taken at night with no daylight to brighten the shot.<\/p>\n

There are two items to share.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

My second item is what I call a wall sculpture.<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

There are other interesting items my husband and I have acquired along the way, but I think these two stand out.<\/p>\n

What iconic items do the other authors on this hop have to share? Check them out by following the links below.<\/p>\n

As always, until next time, please stay safe.<\/p>\n
