Vintage ceramic made in Japan pink dog (poodle) figure:  $1.99 @ Value Village

I don't know why I bought this.  I normally see lots of cute kitschy stuff that's easy to pass up, but this wasn't one of them!

It being pink had a lot to do with it.....I love that colour!  Plus, the dog is just so cute with it's open mouth...and hat...with a rose on it...you can see why I bought it!  There were just too many adorable things going on.

And the pose...I could probably use it as a book stand (for light ones of course).

Too bad the paint job is so sloppy!  It kind of bugs me.
