A chinese checkerboard from my childhood hanging on the wall, my great-grandparents' picnic basket with an artificial plant spilling out (no watering in that basket), a small metal electric fan my mother-in-law used in her beauty shop for 50 years (still works). LOL, I think I've taken up enough space listing my treasures. Thank you for validating my quirky decorating style.

I knew our lobster was about to molt so I called dibs on the shed (it's a coveted item amongst aquarists!), and sure enough there it was one morning a few weeks later. I carefully pulled it out of the tank and put it in a large box up high to dry. It's HUGE and sits at the top of our entertainment center, those long antenna hovering over us...I think alot of our guests aren't quite sure what to think still :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104506436231882721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-61327415565222778922015-05-29T08:05:35.984-04:002015-05-29T08:05:35.984-04:00Sarah, I had to smile when I saw your little brass...Sarah, I had to smile when I saw your little brass partridges. I received a set of those as a wedding gift when I was married in 1976! Mine are long gone...sold in a garage sale I suppose. I should have kept them!

My favorite quirky pieces are the ones that have a story. I have all sorts of things inherited from my mom and grandma, and I love the silliness and sweetness of seeing those things around my home. I think little pieces like this help your home tell your story, and I love that!

I am now on the hunt for a toilet handle like your powder room's. <br />BTW, maybe it's just my dirty mind, but are the brass birds positioned 'a certain way' on purpose or by accident? LOL! Or perhaps it's just the angle of the photo?

I love all your little touches, especially those bookends! You were totally right to go back and get them. :-) I like to have at least one smaller quirky piece in each room. I have an old man head planter that I made in high school in our living room. He is so cute with a cherry little plant sticking up like its his hair. In the foyer, I have a bird lamp. Yep, the base is a bird and it has a burlap lampshade. It was a Homegoods love at first sight scenario! Hubby just shrugged his shoulders when I walked in with it! Hehe! ;-) He doesn't even ask anymore. Thanks for sharing are your adorable quirkiness :-)Stephanie @ This Abundant Lifehttp://www.thisabundantlifeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-81673758483354448832015-05-28T15:12:45.848-04:002015-05-28T15:12:45.848-04:00I love the fork & spoon, but I also ADORE the ...I love the fork & spoon, but I also ADORE the black doors.

We have a large print of three labs hanging there and a quirky hook for the leashes shaped like a chocolate lab. I am not an animal art type of person at all, but I love it. I also have a brass angel wing on a stand sitting on my bookshelf that I absolutely love.

It's true that the whimsical adds so much! I found a lovely wood cat crouching and it sits beside the rails of the steps leading upstairs.

One is a cardboard circle that my daughter decorated with paper flowers to be a "wreath" for me. It's bee hanging on the floor lamp for years now. Another is a white construction paper dog outline with dot marker spots. My nephew made it in preschool for me and he is now almost 13. He was never into art and never made stuff, so it is really special that he made it just for me. It's on the door to the laundry room.
