I get inspired by some of you bloggers when you share great bargains you find in thrift stores and yard sales and here I share one of my finds. Every garden (well, my garden) wants a dancing seagull who does acrobatics on a ball, and now I have one. He cost $2.25 at a Goodwill store. Isn't he a cutie?
This photo below shows him on our front porch; as you can see he likes to travel around in our yard as he gets acquainted here.
I like to smile in my garden and on our patio and this fellow brings me smiles.
What shall I name him?

Alphonse. Somehow, this was the first name that came to my mind when I was looking at his face.

Happy seems like a good name. He is very cute. Great deal!
That is so cute! Love it! I'd call him Sylvester.
Hi Terra, thanks for stopping by! I love your thrift store find! I would call him Seymour:)

Great find, Terra. I go to Goodwill at least once a week on my lunch hour for a little retail therapy. Through the winter months I've landed several good deals on garden stuff which keeps the garden in the forefront of my mind. You got yourself a dandy there.
So cute, love it.
What a cute, little guy!
He is fun. Cute, cute, cute!
He's pretty cute and makes me smile!
How cute! It looks like something you would see here in Florida! I see someone else thought of Happy...he looks like Happy to me, too! Hugs!
Darling lil' guy,I'm sure He will put a smile on Your face :)Fun find. blessings Denise
Remember Red Skelton and the Gertrude and Heathcliff seagull skits he used to do? ... how 'bout Heathcliff? ...
Now he is adorable!
I think he is going to make you very happy each time you step out your door.......I would name him happy go lucky. :-) blessings dear friend
He looks great in that last picture, like he found his true home. Maybe call him Wings!
Hi Terra, I have to say I miss winters in Ca. I love this Seagull, he is so cute! Never seen anything like this but glad you found him.
Your weather looks perfect.
Have a great day!

I think "happy feet" is a cute name! He makes me happy and it looks like he is dancing...

What a cute little guy. He has a lot of personality and it is a great find!
What a cute garden ornament. I'm sure it will make you smile every time you see it.
Such a fun and adorable thrift find...why would anyone want to sell him?
Love the little guy. I'm not a garden person, but I like anything that has to do with the beach.
A great find. Cute.
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
Hi Terra.
I LOVE this little dancing seagull. He is perfect to put some color and whimsy in a garden or on a porch. It is such fun to find little surprises at Goodwill. I was there today.
Thanks for stopping by.
Have a beautiful weekend, Terra.
Oh, Terra, he's adorable. I think I'd name him "Bouncer."
On the other hand, as others suggested, I also like Sylvester and Seymour.
Great find.
Thanks so much for all your sweet visits. Susan
Oh my gosh, he is adorable! I wouldn't be able to pass him up, either! I can't think of any names that would be better than any of the ones already suggested. (And I love BumbleVee's mention of the Red Skelton Show!)
So cute!! I like Sylvester as a name, too. :o)
That is so cute. What a great find!
