Great – i love circus things too. I found a set of 10 circus-themed blotters from a french fleamarket yesterday. gorgeous!
And we wonder why people are afraid of clowns!! That face plus that hair is a horrible meth vision made real – not that I would know anything about such things……..but look at those eyes! :)(:
Deb: Let’s see those blotters! Kudos on the great find!
Pamela: Ha, Mr. 3 Prong Clown is quite a fright! Couldn’t resist including him as he is so wonderfully creepy. Hard to believe Arm & Hammer did not strike this ad campaign down. Where was their focus group? :~)
