Description
Drifting through thrift stores - you never know what you may find. You may find treasures, trash and everything in between. A carousel horse is something that you may find on a merry go round but would never anticipate finding in some small thrift store tucked in among sandwich shops in a small town. Then again, you can never tell what may lurk within. That is what makes the adventure of browsing totally worth it.

Great capture! The framed paintings of faraway places is the perfect backdrop. Wonder how many young people have mounted the steed and were captivated by the easily imagined travel scenes.

Thank you, Raymond! I don't think any young ones climbed onto that steed when it was standing by the framed paintings. It was in an antique store and mounted up on a table. :) But I loved this capture too, and go back from time to time. That merry-go-round horse remains.

Thanks, Laurie! I was so happy to make this find in the antique store in my town. Who would think they would find a carousel horse here!
