i always stared in amazement at the strange stuff found at garage sales, antique shops, thrift shops, tourist traps, and my grandmother's house.
when i discovered the diner dogs at maker faire on sunday, i fell madly in love...
these odd canines have a history...
i was smitten and snapped away...
perhaps i love these because they remind me of my daria jean beauty queen...
visit the doggie diner site to read more about these peculiar pooches.
