Playful Furniture



An interesting thrift store find, about the right size for 17" Playmate dolls. Yeah,Yeah, I didn't notice her bare feet until I had finished the post.  It reminded me of an item in aunt Irene's collection, albet on a smaller scale.
 
I recall reading about itinerant artists who earned their living decorating furniture. Otherwise ordinary furniture (often built by local carpenters) became fanciful works of art.
