Gargoyle Crush by lauriehiggins

Gargoyle Crush

I fell in love with this little guy in an antique store in Salem, Mass, while we were on our anniversary trip. My husband didn't want to buy him because he was afraid I would put him in our house somewhere, and for some reason this creeped him out. I may still go back for him because I can't stop thinking about him.
This is just sort of guy I would love in our garden! He's not creepy just a bit sad looking. I reckon he's like Yoda and may give you good advice. (Like buy me!!!!)

He is cute - but I can see why your husband would find him creepy! :)

Cool- Salem is the best!!

Oh wow! I love him! You should call that shop and get them to hold it for you! He looks old and wise to me, not very creepy. But then I like "creepy" so I'm probably not a good judge. :-)

If you can't get him out of your mind, you have to go back and get him! I was in Boothbay Harbor a few years ago and say a bracelet I loved. I decided not to get it and so regret it. I have never been able to find another that comes close to that one.

I love him too! Can he go in the garden? Anyway, I'm petty sure he's meant to protect you from evil spirits, so how can he not be a good addition to the household. Do it! do it! do it!! :))

I'm vulnerable for these mementoes too , and have been known on more than one occasion to double back and seize the moment again with a purchase to relieve the haunting memory of maybe I shoulda..........

Well, I think he looks very contemplative, that's the feeling I get! He looks like he's really into his toes....
Really neat gargoyle, I would be wanting to buy him as well. Sooooo, when he comes to live with you--take a photo of where you put him, lol

Fave--I'm a sucker for a gargoyle, what can I say? The lighting is perfect and Victor wants to introduce himself

That guy is really pretty cool looking. I think he would fit into almost any decor, and I think you would grow quite fond of him, and perhaps your Husband will learn t love him too.

He's cute and scary at the same time. If your husband is dead set against you buying it, then I think you should print and frame this photo and hang in your living room! :-)

He is awesome! Great photo.
July 27th, 2011  
Im inclined to agree will your husband lol

July 27th, 2011  
Cool

Sounds like my love life .... I say go get em and hide him

Nice shot of a very forlorn looking little guy...
July 28th, 2011  
funny, i think he would have to go out to the garden, but he is very quirky! hope you go back and get him!

I would equate it to owning a snake. Sorry, I'm with Steve.

@5unflow3r @karens68 @clarissajohal @lorihiro @jenrobcarr @keithdavid Thank you all so much for encouraging me to buy this guy. He is now mine and will be shipping on Monday! Now he needs a name and a place to hang.
July 28th, 2011  
@lauriehiggins YAY! I knew you would get him (: I got Victor's name from Victor Hugo (the author of Hunchback of Notre Dame). Hmm....
July 28th, 2011  
@clarissajohal I guessed that Victor came from Victor Hugo, my writer friend, and I was actually considering Hugo for my new addition because I kind of fell in love with gargoyles after seeing your photos of Victor.

Awww, I think he's cute, too! He'd look good somewhere tucked away in a corner, the darker the better.
