Dr. Seuss

My Mother-in-law, Joan, really likes Dr. Seuss. I have purchased a few Seuss sticker sheets and when I send out a card or letter to her, I try real hard to remember to put one on - just to make her smile.

A few weekends ago when Tom and I were going to some open houses, we happened upon this really great house. Actually, it was superbly decorated more than it was a great house. The bedrooms were teeeeny tiny as I recall - yet the master bedroom was gigantic.

So this fabulously decorated house had this fabulous Dr. Seuss print. I tried to get a photo of it without all of the extraneous lighting reflecting of of the glass but that didn't seem to work.

I don't think I had ever seen this piece before - and I didn't realize until just a few minutes ago that the gown she is wearing is see-through!

How scandalous!

The little creature child looks like one of my favorite characters that he drew - the little bear looking characters with the pointed ears.

I love the red striped socks the woman has on her feet, too.

My very favorite Dr. Seuss character was Horton. I can still hear the song (from the original show)

...boil that dust speck, boil that dust speck.

Do you have a favorite Dr. Seuss book or character?

I'm also pretty fond of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.

Have a fabulous day!

EDITED to add:

My friend Rachel looked up this piece online and this is what she found out about it.

This piece is called Martini Bird and it sells (unframed) for $1695
it's a limited edition.....looks like only 1000 made.
