Lisa over at Faerie Enchantment is holding her Carnival Soiree today. I have been looking so forward to attending and dressed up for the occasion. I'm wearing my new crown and found the most elegant mask to take with me. And, of course, I also needed to bring my little cat Fluffy.

I also thought I would bring along a few photos of my husband's Mechanical Banks as they seem suitable for a Carnival.
The Monkey Bank
Trick Dog Bank
Acrobat Bank
Clown Bank
And I also have a Glass Clown that I believe is an ashtray
I hope you have enjoyed my Carnival photos and now you must head over to see all the fun things happening at the Soiree
Have Fun

I just wanted to say I love your banks. What a fun post. I was watching the antique road show & saw similar banks. It was awhile ago, but your post flashed me back to that show. I just found them so unique. That is so amazing that you have some too...
Hope you have a wonderful weekend..

Those banks are awesome. Love the little girl with the cat and mask too.
Hey thanks for swinging by! I love that photo of you as a little girl....and her cat of course. Those banks are awesome. My dad used to have this very old vintage toy. It was a carousal from the 30's...I think my mom still has it. It would have been perfect for my post today! Love your blog!
I just loved your Carnival photos and your husbnads banks are so lucky to be participating. Sp perfect for the event. Have fun and don't eat to much Kettle Corn or Cotton Candy your poor tummy may not like it later.
Beautiful and whimsical banks...nice collection.

Karen,
Thanks for your sweet well wishes. I am on the mend! Love the photo and sweet carnival details! I'll have to visit around for the fun. Thanks for sharing.
Love your outfit!
Have you seen my old friend, Mr Auguste Unica the clown?
OH DEAR! I suppose I have never mentioned to you that I am horribly and dreadfully, painfully and heart-stoppingly afraid of clowns? Now I will have to medicate before I visit your other posts... please pour me a drink!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. We had such a grand time, and so sad to see it end. Did you ever find out what happened to Samuel? The Queen needed to fulfill one obligation....nice to meet you!

I've always loved those banks. One of my favorites is the Uncle Sam. Oh, and I've always thought the baseball player was cool too.
I love the mechanical banks!!!! Have you and your hubby ever been to the mechanical museum in San Francisco? It's a must see for anyone who love mechanical things from the past! A real treat! (((((hugs)))
