An Auction Re-Do

Last week I picked up this sweet little vintage ceramic, made in Japan dog at an auction.
He was $1 and his bucket was empty. When we picked him up my daughter (who is all of 5) was very concerned that the handle was missing. Not to worry. I promised her I already had a plan.
A little foam ball, a few flowers and he's ready for a new home.

What a cute little dog and a great bargain too. With the flowers in the basket you can't even notice the handle is missing.

Cute doggie planter. I think it's cute that your daughter was concerned about the missing handle. I bet she has fun going out thrifting with you.

So cute, I think this might be a vintage toothpick holder. I have several of these, all little animals! Love how you have flowers there, much better than toothpicks!
Thanks for linking up to the party,
