Which room is Pugsley's....(or PB's)? The door with the baby vultures painted on it of course!
One of our local thrift stores has a pound sale every month that Mr. Husband and I like to hit up. A pound sale is when you and a bunch of other cheapskates-bargain shoppers-rummagers get to dig around in unsorted "gaylord" boxes dodging broken glass and 500 pound microwaves for treasures costing only 50 cents a pound! At that price, it's easy to find all sorts of diamonds in the rough.
One of these such diamonds was this badly beat up paperback alphabet picture book called "The Big Golden Animal ABC" by Garth Williams 1957. All of the pages have been colored, scribbled, and torn, but ''Vv for Vulture" had some crafting potential! It screamed The Addams Family and Pugley's bedroom door to me immediately when I saw it. I erased the pencil marks, glued the page onto a stiff piece of cardboard, x-acto blade cut it out, then hung it on PB's door.
I considered nerding out and making a reverse image photocopy of the vulture and include it on his door too so it would be more representative of the original door in the series, but Cleopatra needs feeding now.
