Normally, my Saturday Squirrel posts feature real pictures I took of real squirrels who 
happen to inhabit my neighborhood. There are times, though, that call for breaking the rules… and this is one of those times. I stumbled across the cute little guy you see above while perusing the interwebs yesterday. That is the absolute cutest squirrel figurine I have ever seen, and there is no way I could resist featuring it for this week’s Saturday Squirrel!
The official name of this piece is “Squirrel, Crystal Copper”, and is a part of the Swarovski Crystal collection. It is a recent issue that can be found for sale on the internet at anywhere from $70 to $100. As much as I am completely smitten with this piece, that is just a tad out of my price range….
Maybe not MBRS’s though…
I have to admit, when I pass through some store with a crystal figurine collection, I do eye the case for a potential squirrel hidden somewhere amongst the hundreds of unicorns, dolphins, and kittycats. While I have never found one, even if I did, it could not possibly touch Copper up there! I love how the facets of the crystal give the illusion that he is smiling…. that can’t be seen from any of the overhead angles of the squirrel I found…
Well, there you go. We’ll get back to the squirrels in the wild next week. Until then, make sure to get another eyeful of this sparkly beauty! If you weren’t already smiling this morning, you most certainly have to be now!
Enjoy your weekend!
Well, it is a little pricey but my goodness, it is a beauty.
The best things in life aren’t cheap, that’s for sure!
That is one beautiful squirrel!!
Beautiful and purty!!!
Awh! She is cute and classy and just a bit sassy! I love her! She does look she is smiling. You will have to treat your self for your birthday or Christmas or something. 🙂
Well, I just found out last night that I’ll be getting a $290 bonus at work for the first quarter…… tempting!
Go on. Treat yourself! Your Aunt has spoken!
That is a lovely squirrel.
Well, I guess if you win that great lottery you can buy a few. 🙂
I would be the first person to win the lottery without a ticket!
A squirrel as a work of art…what could be better for you?
Indeed. I have a feeling my cats would be jealous, though…

He IS a real cutie!
Definitely!
He’s so cute! I love how he looks so “squirrel-like” — I expect him to twitch his tail and be off, climbing up the curtains, any second. 🙂
That would be cool to have a crystal squirrel scurrying about the house, but he’d drive my cats crazy!
