Ally the Alligator

CCC

 

One of my favorite television shows was Ally McBeal. Last year at this time I had a 10 foot alligator at CCC and I named him/her Ally. Then on Monday I posted on this darling alligator plate I found on eBay and it has arrived.

China Pattern Search

Mystery Alligator Plate

 

I came across this place setting image and loved the alligator plate and decided to try to find it. When I looked closely I realized the alligator has five legs - clearly AI created since they don't have five legs normally - LOL. Even though this is clearly computer generated, I went on a little search to see if there is anything like it out there.

Functional and Fabulous

Arthur Court Alligator Paper Towel Holder

 

“Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” - William Morris. 

I don't see why you can't have both. These paper towel holders are a great example. This alligator is too perfect for Florida.

A Friendly Alligator

Kate Spade Swamped 3d Wicker Alligator Bag

For years Kate Spade has been creating highly collectable and coveted whimsical wicker handbags, mostly animal designs. I have a collection including an elephant, a monkey, and a frog. They are so fun. One of the most sought after is a wicker alligator that came out several years ago. It would sell on the resale market on places like eBay for up to $2,000 and more.

Happy Easter & My Visitor

CCC

 

This was my visitor yesterday afternoon. A neighbor was driving up my street and this alligator crossed the street, walked up my driveway all the way to the garage, hung out a few minutes, and then walked right up to my front French doors. I had literally just walked in the house after some gardening. She snapped this picture and called me. I was busy and didn't see the voicemail until later and missed the whole thing. See you later alligator. That's a big guy - over 10 feet!!!

A Walk on the Wild Side
