If you have a clown phobia, you best not read on.....
I have been sharing the contents of my newly opened hope chest that has been in storage for many years...
Today I bring you this very old and very "odd" clown.
He serves...or served as a Pj's holder. His legs are hollow and this is where you stashed your bed clothes when not in use..
I remember having him as a small child sometimes on my bed , sometimes hanging on my door and then stuffed kindly into my hope chest....given to me by my grandmother.
I know what you're thinking why only ONE EAR! I don't know....he has always had one!
He is quite fragile now and the fabric is very delicate, faded and slightly vintage marked...
The embroidery on his face is so beautifully and cleverly done and I like that he has a smile. The felt hands and feet are in great condition seeing as usually felt is the first to be nibbled on by silverfish if there are any around.
anyways....
unlike my previous weeks discoveries here and here I don't think this little guy will be hanging on our bedroom door any time soon......
But thought he was worth the share.
I like your treasure. But no I don't like clowns so no I don't really like it. I like it's history for you though. Now what are you going to do with it?
