I could never understand the attraction to them.

 

CHIA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mayyyybe smoking a cigar?????? Not totally clear. I've never seen one with this shiny glaze and weird motif. But Chias are generally of strange and extremely kitsch or camp themes. No idea about yours - he's kind of unique in my opinion. Market him to tobacianna fans?

He does seem a bit pre-retro - if that makes sense.

 

If you're selling, this seems like a cross-marketable item - kitsch and tobacciana, and herbs, I guess.

Just a very fun item! thanks for sharing

 

Yeahhhhh, @i need help

Excellent genuine bon vivant!!! He's a planter - @charlie cheswick version is a later chia repro... fascinating.

 

Man cave! another market!!!

 

I don't know. Seeing these, I'm starting to want one. A hedgehog, maybe.

 

You have seen this @Bronwen, right?
Hedgehog in the fog

 

The link takes me to videos of how to make my lashes look longer. Found it by searching directly & then realized I had seen it before. I used to want one but probably not the ideal pet for me & illegal to have where I live.

 

?? Lashes??
Hedgehogs are SO sweet, but since I've never had my own dog... That'd be my pref.

 

I thought at first it was just a preliminary ad, & it was a promotion, but about 2 mins. long & followed by another on the same subject. Realized then that they were how-to videos. But somehow, as soon as I had the first screen with the name of the guy who made the hedgehog video in front of me, I remembered watching it in connection with another thread.

Somewhere I have a book by a British guy who spent years observing & tracking hedgehogs for his doctoral work. He was bemused by the American pet hedgehog scene.

 

phrase of the day right there !
