Monk
What is a Monk?
A monk may be conveniently defined as a member of a community of men, leading a more or less contemplative life apart from the world, under the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, according to a rule characteristic of the particular order to which he belongs.
Y'all know by now Mr. Doo's is a bit,
let me say different, in a good way!
. Mike is a fun a guy, and really smart too. Never a DULL moment with him.
He loves history and he loves conversation pieces.
His English pub is his domain.
YOU will never see me paint or change a thing.
On our recent vacation we went thrifting one day. He found these three as I call them blind monks. He loved em..and had to have them.
So here is where they sit, think and read...
 |
They look like they are reading with their eyes closed! |
I know, they are a bit out there! Mike loves them..and that is all that matters.
See you later for the newbie party.

LOL!!! I don't think I have ever seen Monk's at the pub before. What a hoot.
Love the Monks Debbie...and the pub!
Love them! Perhaps they're praying for the drunken sinners at the bar below? LOL :)
Very cute little guys. My husband would give anything to have a space like that. How the heck did you get that piece of furniture into the house. Did you build it in place? Great piece.
These are waaay cute. Love them and so glad he does, too. We all need something we love! :))
that is so cool that your husband like too decorate his man cave,his pub room is such a beautiful room, wow, he has good taste for sure.My husband (if he had his own space which he doesn't) would be all guitars, cars and hockey,, not classy like your hubby's,, thats beautiful,
They are so cute!
I love your bar area. My sister and her hubbie have a very similar one in her walk out baseent. It is so much fun sitting there.
We don't have any room for one, no basement when you live on a slab that used to be a dirt barn floor!
Your room is so lovely!
(Or should I say his room?!!)
Great story.

i love the monks .when i was a young girl they lived down the street from us i would love to visit them .They always gave me the prettist holy cards.Some hade dried flowers on them:)
They look perfect in the pub. I wish my hubby had his own space...he would get out of mine!!
XO,
Jane
Maybe he could move them to where he keeps the pub snacks. Then they could be chip monks!
I KILL me! LOL!
Love the Monks! Mike has good taste! Very unique.
Love the pieces. Mr Doos has a wonderful man cave. The monks look great on he bar.

Why do we think we have to justify decor that makes our Man happy? I love the fact that Mike just had to have them ...and there they are!
I had the same problem with the 7 lb Bass fish on my living room wall!
I struggled with it...but then just Framed ol' Billy and changed his name to Art...he he he
Love the monks...quirky, but in a good way!
...I'll be watching the newbie party, Pat
What conversation pieces those are. I see why he loves them. Very unique for sure.
Oh, those monks are too cute Debbie! Perfect for your hubby's English pub:) I think it's so cool that you turned your dining room into a pub! When my brother and I were kids in England our parents always hit the pub on Sundays:)
Oh I like them! I think they fit in well in his pub. They are different, which is great and I love the carved wood.
I would have had to have these. (I don't know where they would have landed, but I would have bought them if I'd seen them!)
Those are neat, I've never seen anything like them before. Now you just need to bring that spanish wall candle alter? you have in that room too. So it will go with the pulpit and the monks. :) I love how your hubs has an interesting flair for antiquing...that's really great!
I think those guys are quite the conversation piece.
I really like them! I'm glad he got them and has some new things he really loves! XO, Pinky
Oh I love them and their juxtaposition at the pub! Perfect!!!! You and Mike have got it going on Debbie!!
Love them Debbie! You've got a great husband!
Love them! Found you via Southern Hospitality and have become a new follower. Feel free to pop on in for a visit if you get time. Tootles, Kathryn

Those are fantastic figurines of the months..I love how they read with their eyes closing down.
Hi Debbie,
Great Pub!
I think the little monks are in the right place! Like they belong!
All the Best,
Christine
Those are so cute those little men! Mike sounds like a great guy!
These are great, love that tin ceiling, too. I understand about "out there" my husband is as well. I'm never sure what "treasure" he'll bring home for display, lol!! thanks for linking up at VIF!xoxo
Oh wow--my grandmother had those monks. I haven't thought about them in years!
