Weird secondhand finds

I absolutely adore them. My mother and I are getting a kick out of seeing all these great finds. Now I always have to be on the lookout for my own house hippo!!

I need that spice rack…

Melody, you could always pop in to any of those “weird” Windstone find posts and comment how you are the artist. They seem like a very friendly group, and it may drive more traffic to this site for purchases of new weird items, not just old weird ones.

And yes, that Lenox village spice rack is fabulous!

Oooh, I need to join that group! It’s looks awesome! I think the one person didn’t know what a ‘Windstone cat bird’ was. haha. Other than that they aren’t weird, they’re beautiful!

Oh gosh! I hadn’t seen that recent “cat bird” one! That’s the fourth winged cat Windstone that has turned up on that group’s page. People think they are weird??

People definitely think my fantasy creatures are “weird”, even when I just add wings onto otherwise normal animals like a cat or wolf. I don’t understand, but maybe some people just aren’t exposed to very much interesting stuff in their lives?! I once had a lady say that “combining two animals is the work of the devil”, so people believe in things that I never would have guessed at.

What would you call the standard Western depiction of an angel then?

I once read a blog by someone- in Toronto I think- who made a living picking up trash off the side of the road and dumpster diving. They found a lot of valuable items in people’s trash, some of them very rare and pricey. Like a 300 year old book. I found the blog searching ‘Windstone’, they’d picked a white male out of the garbage.
