Lawn Ornament Capital of America

By all means check out Krupp's Novelty Shop on the corner of M-12 and M-13 in lovely Lennon, MI. Billed as "Lawn Ornament Capitol of America," we found, among THOUSANDS of other things to traumatize your neighbors, a sombrero fountain, leering gnomes and bunnies on psychedelic toadstools, wood panel clocks meticulously airbrushed w/Burt and Lonnie and embellished w/gold lame' and rhinestones, icons in bathtubs, and -- my favorite -- the alarm clock buried in the coils of a lemon-yellow and forest-green plaster cobra, reared up and ready to strike!
