stock up the shop: I made a new friend

Took a week off as the rest of my life took over for a bit. It was actually nice to have a break, and made getting back to it all the sweeter. Not a huge haul this week, but some fun stuff nonetheless...some of which will stay right here with me.
 I love the warm feel of these items. And here they are: 
- Landert Fondue Pot (From Switzerland, meant to go from oven to table. Just love those swirls.)
- Modern Wooden Bird Bowl (It's a shallow bowl with a really cool, mod shape. Already listed if you want to check it out.)
- Hyalyn Pink Rectangular Console Dish (Beautiful condition, buttery glaze...kind of hiding in the back there.)
- Pottery Craft Vase (The other Pottery Craft I have is not selling super well, but this was kind of different from some I've found and in such good condition, I grabbed it.)
- Two Brass/Copper Angel Candle Holders (Made in Hong Kong, they're a common item, but I really think they're pretty so I'll add them to my own Christmas decorations.)
- Two Arabia Kosmos Bread and Butter Plates (Hiding under those angels.)
- Coral Glossy El Patio by Franciscan/Gladding Mc Bean Gravy Boat (El Patio was the first dinnerware produced by California based Gladding McBean and the very first line to carry the Franciscan name.)
- And finally, I'd like to introduce you to... Well, I don't know who he is, but something about him made me pay too much to bring him home. The more I look at him, the more I love him and I sure do want to know where he is going, what he is  carrying, why he's not wearing any shoes, and what he so unhappy about. He's looking at me right now while I'm typing this. Check him out:


I haven't found anything out about him, so if any of you have any insights, I'd sure love to hear them. Chances are, he's just another 1970s wood carving, but there's something about him that really caught my eye. 
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Oh, and I'm finally on Twitter: @thecreekhouse if you want to say hello.
