I first saw this young man at an estate sale. As I passed him by I thought how haughty and regal his demeanor. Certainly not the kind of personality that would fit into my casual life style.
On my second walk through, I thought you know he would look nice in some one's home that has a beautiful foyer or sitting on a buffet in a formal dining. So perhaps I should take him home and find him a fitting home through my antique booth as he does have a certain air.
Well, he came home with me and found a home in my living room until he could go to the booth. As the days went by I noticed that perhaps he wasn't really haughty but probably just a contemplative man. As you can see he didn't even protest when I deck his immaculate clothing with a few fall leaves to celebrate the season. So for now he will grace my humble home. And on second thought maybe first impressions aren't always the most accurate ones.

I like him very much. He looks so good with the autumnal sprig around his shoulders.

Hi Stella! Oh, I like your little boy's head! :) I think he needs to stay at your home - you understand him! ;)
Thanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Sweet little story... :-)
A nice lesson to learn, to not always fully trust our 'first impressions.' :-)
I'm so glad he is staying. 'He' must be, too.
Gentle hugs,
