Vintage anthropomorphic taxidermy up for bid this September!

Potter's Curiousities on the Chopping Auction Block

Oh dear. Yes, that makes me feel broke.

mrrranda July 25 2003, 21:23:24 UTC

Someday...
we'll each make our own.

If we get enough friends in on it we can have our own damn museum.

inflammatio July 25 2003, 23:19:32 UTC

I'll second that!

Oh, sigh. I so want the Kittens' Wedding Party.

time for tea mrrranda July 26 2003, 00:49:17 UTC

I used to have several postcards of these things... I *named* the kittens having tea, and wrote little conversations on the front of them before they were sent off into the void then-boyfriends or targets of desire. The only ones I remember...

are Nan O'Cephalie...

and little *Dehydrette*

Ah! lovely.

That makes me very sad... I can only hope that they will all be gotten by the same person or organization, and still be on display somewhere. As much as I'd like some myself, I think it'd be a shame for them to all scatter into private collections...

didn't want to be the one to say it... mrrranda July 25 2003, 21:21:45 UTC

but there is something sad about it, isn't there? More than in just a selfish "now I'll never see them!" way.

I'm inclined to think they know already but....

*House on the Rock*

If not, I apologize for ruining the surprise, but... did I send you the clipping about the albino taxidermy collection in Lima, OH?

Re: didn't want to be the one to say it... jackgriffin July 25 2003, 21:57:00 UTC

No, I do not believe you did. And I don't remember seeing anything that interesting when I lived in Ohio...

I have just passed it along to abaratus. I had heard about this through my friend Tia. I am quite unsettled about the whole thing. AAARRRRGGGG!!!!

See above:

WE'LL MAKE OUR OWN

quinsters July 25 2003, 23:27:41 UTC

Yes we shall! If we can't buy Potter's museum, we will start a whole NEW museum. *day dreams of spectacular creations* I want to stuff Mr. Winkle

You know the precious little bastard is going to be at the Birmingham, MI Borders while I'm on the other side of the country?
