Casting My Spell

Our buddy Justin has once again delivered the goods! This 26 inch Brutalist Dodo was recently discovered at an estate sale in North Carolina, alongside a batch of other, similar mid-century wares. Justin had a ton of great items on offer this time out, but we were instantly drawn to this handsome fowland we were consequently rendered powerless by its gaze ...and its enormous paunch. Thanks again, Justin!! If any of our readers are in the area, we highly recommend dropping by Highland Row Antiques and checking out the shop and the rest of Justin's sale items.

Don't really know much about this beer-bellied beast, outside of the word Moss etched into one of its tail feathers. Any additional info would be much appreciated!

Thanks, Jim! We'll definitely be showcasing more of the Dodo when we finally get around to photographing the foyer (where he's presently living ...at least, until we get the home office done, I think).

We both enjoyed checking out your blog. Keep it up!

I love the dodo so I'm a bit jealous now.... :-)

Thank you. Don't be too jealous--he already punctured Valery's hand with his sharp bronze feather! He's a mean dodo!

"Looking good" doesn't begin to express how awesome that Dodo. As always, you two never fail to find the best goods.
