I found a handmade lobster in a thrift shop! The woman who sold it to me was looking at me like I was insane as I swooned over him! She told me she didn’t think she would be able to sell it, and gave it to me for one dollar!It was days before someone held it up like this… not a lobster..my bad..

    Always nice to see a lobster find a nice home. And in plenty of time for Christmas.

    Nice legs! His head and hat are so cute.

    Could the crafter have used anymore different patterned fabric?!

    Love this! I’m a Cape Codder so this would be perfect in the back window of any car here! Especially my car!

      NO! I held it upside down, and I thought it was a lobster. the lady let me believe that, so that i would buy it! I had absolutely no idea, until it fell off of the back of a chair, and my son picked it up by its “leash”.

          YES! I saw it as a christmas lobster on a leash (DUH! ) but sadly, it was meant to be a sock-reindeer! Kind of like those images where some see the young lady in a feathered hat, and some see the old
          crone in a shawl.

    This is hilarious! Great post! As a lobster he looks a bit frustrated though, lol

      I thought that was because of the leash (or is it a reindeer’s noose?)
