| Herend Monkey |
My daughter and I both collect monkeys and yesterday I added four to my menagerie from HomeGoods. I thought you might enjoy a little tour of my monkey house - but it smells great! Monkeys are quintessentially Chinoiserie and I love their whimsy and charm.
I learned that Florida has a growing population of Rhesus Macaque monkeys not native to Florida because in the 1930s and 1940s, the owner of a glass bottom boat business released a dozen of these monkeys to increase his tourism business and they now number in the hundreds.

The HomeGoods monkeys make a great addition to your collection. There is always room for another monkey! 🐵❤️
ReplyDeleteI hope so!
DeleteIt’s always fun when you can add something new to a collection.
ReplyDeleteI love majolica and tole and am always on the lookout. Blackamoor anything, harder and harder to find. But SO much fun looking, for you never know.
I love collections. Blackamoor has become quite controversial and banned from many shows.
DeleteI like how you styled your new finds, added the details to each area, lovely.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I decorated my son's nursery with rattan, monkeys, navy walls, ikat drapes. It was so Chinoiserie Chic.
ReplyDeleteHe's 7 now and we just moved. He wants his room the same way though we did gray walls . I had to laugh when he said, "mom, no one is taking my monkeys or my foo dogs"!
That is absolutely the cutest ever.
DeleteLove them, so mischevious and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteI love their facial expressions. Very serious.
DeleteSuch a fun collection and wonderful styling too.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
