Do you remember the circus parades? Me neither. They haven’t been around for a while, but I bet they were pretty spectacular. When the circus was in town all the animals, clowns and performers would sashay down the streets enticing the town’s people to come to the big top for the greatest show on earth.
I thought about the circus parade when I was listing some new items in my Etsy shop. I don’t have any ringmasters or clowns in the shop right now (hopefully in the future!), but the animals are kind of fun. Take a look…
This is Eddie. I love his little Shriner’s hat and dancing eyes.
This is Dapper Cat. He’s very serious with his cigar and top hat.
May I introduce Sir Chimp. He’s got flowers for his date.
Happy Hippo loves to do a soft-shoe. And those vertical stripes are very slimming.
Meet Butler Piggy. He’s happy to serve a cocktail any time of day.
How’s that for a circus parade?! Well, an animal parade at least. They would all look charming on a refrigerator, don’t you think?
If you’re in the mood for something a little more surreal or slightly off-color, be sure to check out Walken The Dog and Hollywood Bitches.
Come on over and see the dozens of items I have in my shop. If you didn’t know already, gift-giving season is upon us. Yay!
These are so sweet! I love the retro animal pictures!
Thank you Cindy! There’s nothing like animals dressed in clothes to put a smile on your face.
I haven’t been to a circus parade–ever. We did take the kids to a circus once. Those little animals are adorable.
I’ve been to more circuses than I can count. My dad loves carnivals and circuses and passed the gene onto me. Thanks for your compliments on my animals!
