Are you Nuts?
After a while it becomes a task to think of titles for posts. I tend to title whatever the first thing that pops in my head!
Continuing on our decorating with sentiment....
This by far Mike said is his favorite thing ever that his Father recently passed down to him.
My husband is a really simple guy, simple pleasures, and loves things that are conversation pieces...could be a buck, but if it is cool, he loves that!
So check out this little guy, he is a nut cracker, hence, the title of my post. I know, makes no sense, but humor me please, I need to grab your attention some how.

| This is OLD! I believe my FIL said it was for sure over 100 years old. Heavy little guy too! |
There is where the nut goes! I may have to try it out sometime.
I found a good home for him and Mike can enjoy looking at it every day.
Have you ever seen one of these nutcrackers?
We really have no history on this cutie..

While I am at it, how about seeing my FREE coffee table tray.
I say free, because I had a coupon to PIER I for $20.00. This tray was only $9.99, originally 39.99. I really like it, it has that rustic look, and all my favorite colors.

| So far so good on my moss ball, I am keeping it alive. |
Have a wonderful day!
Thanks for stopping by and your sweet, kind comments.
I always tell Mike all the nice things you say, he really does care, even if he rolls his eyes at me behind my back! He so knows better to do in front of my face!

Debbie, that nut cracker is cool. Nice colorful tray, too especially for free. Your lattice urn is like my white ones. Have fun today.
That is quite a nice looking nut cracker. It would be interesting if you were able to find some information on it. Have a great day.
Love that nut cracker. Haven't seen one like it before. Nice that it was handed down.
Love your nut cracker Debbie. I wouldn't mind having him to display at my house.
Love that new tray Debbie, but I am swinging down by for the five finger discount on that nutcracker!!!LOLOL!
Sounds like you got a great deal on the tray, it's very cute. Your nutcracker is really neat too. I've never seen one like that at all. I like it!
Love the nut cracker! Real ones like that are usually quite valuable, so you may want to do some googling on it. Pretty tray, too. Thanks for sharing.
That's an unusual nut cracker, but he's also very cool & I'm sure he'll become a conversation piece.
Love the tray from Pier 1.
Hi Debbie...That's the most unique nutcracker I've ever seen. Very cool. I have a crocodile paper holder. Imagine if the croc and dog were side by side on a desk? Hope you have a great day, too. Susan
Who knew you can buy a cute nut cracker like that little guy. Very cute.
That is one very unique nutcracker! Your FIL sure has a lot of treasures, I think it's so nice that he passes them on like that:) I love your *free* tray too!
Hi Debbie Dear! Oh, I love your nut cracker. You have to crank his tail too, don't you? I've never seen a dog nut cracker, but I just love him. Your tray is great too!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Love the nutcracker. It looks to be very old and heavy!!
I love the sentimental pieces you use to decorate.

So, does this mean I have to keep my eyes peeled for you on the Antique's Roadshow. I think you have a winner here and it's worth more than you think.
By the way, I love the antique window above the bed.
I'm at the car dealership getting my wheels serviced. Nothing like a Toyota Service department with F.R.E.E. internet. Now, maybe I can get caught up today....
You have the coolest treasures, Debbie! I haven't seen a nut cracker like that, but it's perfect for you because I know how much you love your dog.
thats a beauty of a nut cracker,, and I have napkins and mugs with the very same stripe pattern as the tray you featured,, amazing, if you were closer I'd give them to you,,I did manage to link you,, but I didn't do the open new window close window properly,, I'm still figuring that out!!!Thank you again,, that was very kind and my daughter was so grateful also,, thanks so much,,(I didn't think I entered your newbie party correctly) and just gave up so I was surprised when recieving you notice.That just goes to show you I really Don't know what I'm doing,, lol
Debbie, you have the coolest stuff! *LOVE* the nutcracker. Thanks for sharing!
That nut cracker "cracks" me up! hehehehe!
Have a nutty day :)
What a cute nut cracker Debbie and what a great "free" tray! Love your iron bowl with the moss ball too! Martina
Forgot to wish you luck on your big day today my friend, can't wait to hear all about it!! Martina
Free is the best, especially when it comes in the form of a cute dog and a good looking tray!
And, yes, I AM nuts!
It must be a Mike thing.....your hubby sounds very much like mine. And what a lovely treasure you got there, and he probably has a nice value to him. Enjoy him and that great tray you got for free!
Marianne :)

OMG, I saw one of those at an estate sale! I loved it but was well over $100 and I wasn't prepared to spend that that day. Love it though!
Love the nut cracker, I have never seen one but I what one now. Nice memory of your hubby father to have around.
Oh Debbie ~ that's just the cutest thing. I have not seen one before and I collect lots of canine art. What a great treasure! Hugs for Lucy.
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Hey Debbie! My son would get such a kick out of that nutcracker! We did a little report on the history of them for school last year and it probably is truly very old. What fun treasures you always have! :-)
