The Tree - Living Room

We couldn't make up our minds so...one for the living room and one for the kitchen. 

Decades ago Michelle's fury over the cultural perversity that drove women to modify their appearance extended to its impact on animals. Poodles were the most obvious examples.  To siphon off the angst we had a show at the gallery called Poodlemania. To augment the art we collected a bunch of poodle chotchkas including several ornaments. Who knew they were a popular subject?
