How much is that dinosaur in the window?

I've already shared one unexpected beautiful discovery from my chore dash at the weekend (see post below)...

But, as I wandered home through another bit of the market – or, rather, battled through the through the tourist throngs that now congregate every weekend – I saw this little doggie in a window...

He is for sale at 2'6, along with this equally endearing (I think...) illuminated dinosaur.

But as I am already the owner of a trio of these mini bunny lights (which you can see in situ half way down this post), I might need to hold it down on the illuminated animal front. Then again, if they're still in the window next week...

Urban Outfitters mini bunny lamp

I've long hankered after the big version of this lamp. But what I really need is a lamp for my dingy hall, which lacks plug sockets. 

The bunny, I always thought, would look excellent –  but having to get a socket wired in by an electrician specially was a bit of a barrier. So I stalled. And occasionally clicked onto websites, chiefly Caravan (where it costs £40), selling the wonderous item just to sigh a little bit at its beauty.

So how excellent to discover that Urban Outfitters are now selling mini versions of the same light and – ta-da – battery powered ones. For just £8 a-piece. Charming in a slightly different style to their big brother or sister, but charming all the same I think. And for that, I think I could justify a row of three on a shelf, lined up. What do you think?

TODAY ONLY Urban Outfitters are also having a one-day 20% off discount. So get shopping, I say...
