I happened to walk by a store as they were five minutes away from closing up for good. The cashiers were shouting out “everything is under $1!”, so I stopped in to check out the remaining merchandise.
These birds may be a little odd, but they’ll be perfect as Thanksgiving decorations. At ten cents each (for a total of $0.32 after tax), I figured I may as well grab them. They would have been $93 had they been full price. Isn’t that crazy?
They’re way too weird to have paid full price for them.

…I read on someone’s blog somewhere, something like…’never buy something discounted that you would never buy at full price….’

Ok- what did you recently say: “Sometimes I like a little touch of the bizarre (or even a little ugly) in decor. It keeps things interesting!”
I agreed with you regarding the elephant plant stand. but this? this is too weird. they would have to pay ME 93 Dollar (i don´t have the sign for US-Dollar on my keyboard)
I liked the idea of painting them all white ;-))

i would use the little bird all the time, but the bigger ones creep me out pretty hardcore haha :x
Melanie
Ha! No wonder the store was going out of business!

I think I might like them better if they were painted over. Shades of pink and brown? Except for the little guy, he just needs an accessory or something. Maybe a pilgrim hat?
Beth
Please write another blog entry so this isn’t the first thing I see when I log on to your blog! :-)~

Ha! I’m working on it! I don’t want it to be the first thing I see either. ;)
luuve
hahahah i was thinking the exact same thing yesterday! hahaha lol
Melinda
Just don’t put them on or near the dinner table. Your guests probably wouldn’t want those things staring at them while they ate. Although, maybe they’re less creepy in person. You could make little pilgrim outfits for them :)
Cute wallpaper by the way.

Elizabeth

I would have scooped them up, too. I like them! They are quirky. More so, I love the wallpaper in that room!

At $93 retail I can see why the store went under. I like the small bird a lot; the two larger ones would look better “diluted” by other fall decorations. The wattles look like tumors on their chests….

The turkeys scare me a bit, bit the little one is very cute!
Jenny
Hi :D I was just stopping by your blog to check things out and I am totally in love with it :D It’s so awesome and your design frickin’ rawks!! I will definitely be keeping you as a daily read :D
Helen
That makes me sad to hear. $93 is insanely high, but it’s sad to hear businesses having to resort to more-than-rock-bottom prices to make whatever they can before they close down.
Gail
I don’t think they would be that bad if you had pumpkins, leaves and other Fall decorations surrounding them!
Regardless…you scored a phenomenal deal!!!
PS You could use some paint to lighted the waddle…I think it is the blood red color that is freaking people out. At .10 – if you mess it up – who cares!!!
Lana
wow, that turkey is so hideous that it is kind of fascinating. I like it! A conversation piece at the very least. Plus I would love to hear what my mom would say if she came over and saw that on my table…. I dont know about your mom, but mine definitely doesn’t appreciate my “quirkier” style attempts.
Jen
Yikes. Those are ugly. Thank God you didn’t pay $93 for them!
Jessica @ {Black.White.Yellow.}
These totally scare me…
But great deal!

Weird…..
kenzie
Those are so funny! Seems like it would be cool to paint the big ones all one color, like white. I don’t want to look too closely at their waddles, starts to creep me out! We have a super creepy elf we got at christmas, and it’s so weird/ugly it’s a tradition now!
Audrie
Oh my. They made me jump a little lol! They’re one of those things that are so ugly that they become cute hehe Definitely wouldn’t have paid the full price… amazing bargain!!
luuve

Desiree Fawn
Ha, those are totally weird. And I love them!
Melissa
Love those for Thanksgiving! What a lucky find.
Shevon S
They freak me out! I like it.
Amanda
Haha! Those are so quirky! If it was April 1st I would’ve been sure this was an April Fools joke. ; )
Jenna Taylor
Typically I’m madly in love with everything you show, but I have to say I find faux taxidermic birds a bit disturbing :/
Michelle
I would put that little bird out All YEAR.
