Cottage Monkey Tassel


That's right, you read correctly. What you see pictured before you was officially dubbed by the manufacturer a "Cottage Monkey Tassel". How did it come to reside in my kitchen you say? Funny you should ask. When Megan and I go to TJ Maxx we always end up playing a retail version of "would you rather" where one of us picks two ugly, ridiculous, and generally undesirable items for sale and asks the other which they'd rather purchase. The item chosen is discarded and the more repulsive item stays in the game to be compared to another object. Thus, by the process of elimination, we find the most hideous item in the store. Last week Megan and Curtis were left unsupervised at TJ Maxx. They took the "would you rather" game one step further to the actual check out stand, resulting in the useless and repugnant ornament you see above. It now has a permanent place on a random hook next to the stove at the cottage. I had no choice. It was the only sensible place to put it since it is a Cottage Monkey Tassel... right?

That's.... cute... if you're into that kind of thing... and, given that you have it, and it has to go SOMEWHERE, I'd say you picked the perfect place for it :)

I have to say, the Cottage Monkey Tassel is going to be a tough item to beat. It's hideous-ness is off the charts! I look forward to our next game.

Actually, I wish you had put it on the ceiling fan in the main room. I dont know if you have a ceiling fan in the main room, but if you do...
