It had deer antlers piled on top of it and looks so pitiful under those antlers. I banged on the door, determined to rescue it and no one came. The owner had decided to take the day off. We were traveling so I could not go back the next day - but I wonder if it is still there.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09077658139465236292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946103414362414928.post-23058241181821313662010-09-08T12:16:49.489-04:002010-09-08T12:16:49.489-04:00You are becoming an expert on aplique Jackie!
