obsession continues: cast iron critters

My fascination and desire to own a cast iron menagerie in my fantasy country house continues. I stumbled upon this angelic little porker, $19, at Wisteria and just had to post him. He’s tiny — only 4″ long and 3″ high — so he may not quite be meaty enough to prop open a door by himself. Perhaps he could be glued to a wedge of wood, like Mr. Mouse? Hmmm. — Angela M.

just saw very cute small cast iron bugs (lady bug, dragonfly…a few others) at Lowe’s in the garden section.
