Have a Happy Thanksgiving!



The top two balloons are from 1948 & '47, and they both made an appearance in todays Macy's Parade for the first time in sixty years. I'm hoping that they bring back the clown next.

Thanks, Lena. They do have a surrealistic feel to them. That's why I like them so much. Plus the fact that they're not based on new, half-baked characters or old and tired ones. Just great designs.
