The Newest Ugly Duckies

So the other day I was perusing Craigslist and I found these little duckies. 

Meet ooooo

and ahhhhh

 They are the most beautiful solid wood with adorable little casters and the best part is the drawers smell wonderful! I usually hold my breath when opening old dresser drawers for the first time because I have bad luck at getting really stinky ones, but these ones smell like wood (not musty old bread). 

I know exactly what I want to do with them so watch for their reveals next week!

Now on to this little man. 

He was hiding the corner at Goodwill and I'm so glad I found him!  

He's an unusual bar stool. The top part reminds me of a bankers chair.

But I need your help!

I broke one of my rules and I bought him even though I have no idea what to do with him.

SO what are your suggestions? 

I want him to have some character so I hesitate to paint him white or something similar. 

And finally I found this at Goodwill too. 

But honestly, I haven't the foggiest idea what it is. 

Cricket, cricket. 

Do you know? 

All the little slots are removable if that helps. 

I've got some work to do so I'm going to retreat to my humble (and very dirty...sigh) workspace.

See you tomorrow!

PS I'm so sorry for the blah photography in this post. I know...it's horrible.
