Lighthouse Keeper Nutcracker

16 years ago

I have a neat wood, Lighthouse Keeper Nutcracker. About 12" high. He was included as a 2 for 1

with another I bought a few months ago on sale. I think he's neat, but he needs a home where someone

will love him for being a Beachy Guy! LOL. So if anyone here would give him a good home, I'll be glad to send him away from the desert to some place more suitable.

( If several speak up, and its ok with y'all, I'll put names in a box and have my DH pull one out)

    Karen, what a great idea if you don't want to keep this lil' guy. I live in the moutains so there's nothing beachy around here. Punk

    He's a cutie, reminds me a bit of Popeye somehow! No beach theme going on here either, but what a sweet thing for you to offer him. Luvs

    Well... Let me see... I did buy some bright yellow napkins and napkin holders at the SA store Monday!

    I have lots of shells, a small table top tree, and a few beach type ornaments somewhere. I could steal.. I mean borrow a little sand from Eli's old sand box. Hmm.. Yep, I believe he might just be happy here.

    Man, I needed him when I did the beach table a while back!!

    Sure you don't want to do a 'Beachy' vignette? I could send you a few shells and ornaments. :o)

    If you're sure you don't want to keep him, I will give him a good home.

    DHs are good for drawing names and saying, "Whatever you want, Dear." !!!

    I have a friend who has a cottage on a lake, who collects lighthouses, this would be a fabulous Christmas gift. She would die for it. Thanks and what a nice thing for you to do.

    I don't want to keep his new owner waiting too long for him to come. So I'll have DH pull out a name tomorrow night. Since it may be only Betty and Gardener, I'll put your names each on about 10 pieces of paper and mix 'em up real well so he'll have something to move around and draw from. Wish I had a pair so you each could have one!

    Betty, I remember your beach table. It was so neat. And you must know my DH well, LOL. He's always saying "whatever you want", or "whatever makes you happy, Dear". It pays to be such a good golf widow, LOL. I NEVER complain about him on the course 6 days a week! That makes him a happy man!

    I'll check on here for the last time tomorrow evening, around 8 my time (Phoenix). Then have him draw a name, and post it tomorrow night.

    hugs, Karen

    Karen,
    How sweet of you! I know he'll love his new home.

    Drum roll please....and the new owner of the Lighthouse Keeper is........
    gardner1908.
    Email me your address and he'll be on the way Monday.
    sangareeKS at aol is mine.

    Betty, I still wish I had two so you could have one as well. If I ever see another, he will have your name on him.

    (oh, Jane, I never answered your question about his age. No idea, there are no markings on the bottom and no information from where I got him either.)

    hugs, Karen

    Oops I missed out.. I thought I saw tomorrow night meaning the 4th..
    I would have loved him..
    Congrats to the winner..

    I'm so sorry, Kathleen. I should have been more clear.
    With me rarely able to go to bed before 3 or even 4am, I tend to confuse folks, and myself, saying "tomorrow". I need to remember that MIDNIGHT means a new day, and not the fool night schedule my body is on.
    I feel very bad for you missing out because of my time lapse.

    hugs, Karen

    Congratulations gardner 1908!!

    I'm looking forward to seeing him in his new home.

    Kathleen, we will have to keep our eyes out for another.

    Karen, That's the way I was when taking all of those steroids by mouth and shots last month.
