I am still planning on doing the guest bedroom in a hunt theme when I redo it and always look for items that will go with my idea for the room.
While visiting one of my favorite antique stores, I found this little figurine. I fell in love with the English gentleman and his dogs. I thought it was so cute and the colors were wonderful.
Look at those precious little guys. Don't they just melt your heart.
Quite the gentleman, all dress for a day at the hunt.
For now I thought it went well with my little stable boy picture in the bookcase.
Standing next to the riding hat, he looks quite dapper.
I am linking to the following parties:
Leigh at Tales from Bloggeritaville for Thrifty Thursday
On Sutton Place for the Open House Party on Thursdays
Honey at 2805 for Potpourri Friday

Hi Marty...
ReplyDeleteOooh...I love your new figurine, Marty! He looks right at home in your beautiful vignette of the red books, horse picture and riding hat! I love it!!! He is irrisistable and I would have picked him up if I'd seen him as well! I have always wanted to do a room with the "hunt" theme too! I think I need another house to decorate! Hehe! Thanks for sharing your handsome fellow with us today and thank you for stopping by! You always brighten my day, dear friend!
Love ya,
Chari
Marty,
ReplyDeletePerfect accessory! Your new figurine looks stunning in your vignette! Like you, I gather the key elements together, then...when I'm ready...I make the complete transformation! I'll be watching for the guest room reveal!
Fondly,
Pat
Marty, he is a keeper, I would have grabbed him up too given the chance. I was just at SA looking around (senior day don't ya know) and saw an equestrian print. I did pass it up, I just don't have a space for another one.
ReplyDeleteQuite Dapper Indeed.. no way at all you could have left him at the store when he fits so perfectly in your home.. Your room is gonna be great~!
ReplyDeleteHi Marty,
ReplyDeleteHe's perfect for the hunt theme. He looks mighty handsome next to all the other pretty equestrian things you've collected. I know that once your guestroom is all done in this theme it will look fabulous. Wishing you a wonderful day.
Hugs and Kisses,
♥Ana
Marty, the things you have will be perfect in your guest room. I like the red, green, white and hint of black that I see in the objects. I'm sure you will put it all together to make a stunning room. Shannon
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your finished guest room...you are on your way! What a great find while you were out "hunting"! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHe is very handsome Marty! Great find, and it looks cute near the hat.
ReplyDeleteGreat find Marty and he looks perfect where you have him!! Martina
ReplyDeleteYou always find the best treasures Marty. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhy he is perfect for that room. Did you name him or the dogs ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when you find something that you just know you needed?

Home to Wednesday's Bunny Hop Party!
Marty,
ReplyDeleteHe's adorable! Great price too!
Yes! I adore finding treasures, especially ones that are just right. Your figurine is just perfect for your guest bedroom.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great treasure you found. Love him.
ReplyDeleteLove the hunter and his dogs. Your idea for a bedroom redo sounds wonderful. Dianne
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMarty, you are kidding? You only gave 5.99 for him? Girl what a treasure! I would have brought him on to. He's the perfect compliment to your vignette. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteMarty, I have been gone all day and just look at this cute little fella and his dogs. Love it. I need it in my equestrian room.
ReplyDeleteMarty, your little fox hunter looks very nice next to the riding hat. We have the real thing where I live and I can tell you it's quite a sight to see the group on their horses and with their dogs.
ReplyDeleteOh, he is a treasure, no doubt! I love your theme, it's one of my favorite ones!
ReplyDeleteNancy
Marty,
ReplyDeleteHow perfect and what a great price! I love anything equestrian, being a rider in my teens and 20's.
He goes perfect with that darling picture and hat.
Rebecca
I need something, equestrian..and that is the perfect little figurines. He is perfect! How lucky you were to find him. Want me to send my address? Just kidding! NOT! :):)
ReplyDeleteHugs and have a great day!
Mona
Yes, I do like finding new treasures, and I like the way you displayed it with other equine related things.
ReplyDeleteYour equestrian collection is so wonderful! I am always amazed how many great vignettes you can create. Lov.er.ly!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Marty! I see that you have "Wild Swan" by Celeste de Blasis, who is one of my favorite authors. Have you read it or is it just for decor?
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to have a theme to be on the "hunt" for. For that price, how could you pass him up. You've already got the equestrian theme going on with your little vignette.
ReplyDeleteI like him Marty!
ReplyDeleteI think the hunting theme will be so neat and so original too!
I don't see a lot of that, can't wait to see the bedroom!
Hugs,
Cindy
Love him! I'm trying to put together an equestrian theme tablescape for November. You should check out the lamp on QVC that I own -it's beautiful.

What a wonderful addition to your collection. He is going to greet your guests quite well. Great find.

He's very handsome Marty. Now, I just did a post on Staffordshire figures and how I had one that was valuable and didn't even know it. You should look yours up. I found out that it won't have a marking on it (it will be open on the bottom) because of it's age. Just a thought.
