More Dog Decor

When Alison from The Polohouse announced that she was having a linky party featuring collections, I put together a post on our dog art we have hanging in our home.  You can see that post here.  While photographing the art, I thought I'd do another post with dogs in our decor.

We've got paper mache trays,

pewter trays,

desk accessories,

pencil holders,

doorstops,

bronze bookends,

porcelain bookends,

terra cotta hearth dogs,

weather vanes,

(still with Christmas bows, apparently!)

Spode plates,

hand painted plates,

transferware plates,

Staffordshire (esque) dogs,

spill vases,

lamps,

chalk dogs,

wall plaques,

gate weights,

tie backs,

wallpaper,

chairs and ottomans,

with spaniels,

and hounds,

pillows,

skirted tables,

needlepoint pillows in the family room,

and needlepoint in the bedroom.

You get the idea.  I could go on and on.  Sadly all of these pretty things do not give me the comfort, companionship and love that the real thing does.  I'm hoping that it will soon be a good time for us to open our home and hearts to another English Springer.  When I'm ready, Mr. Pressed Pants isn't and vice versa.  We'll get there!

I'm going to share this post at the following parties:
