"  Susie Harris, who pens a blog by the same name, loved a vintage wooden carousel horse her dad scored at the St. Vincent de Paul thrift store in New Orleans 10 years ago. Harris named the wooden stallion Pierre and oiled his rough fa\u00E7ade to condition the wood and highlight his aged colors. Harris&amp;#039;s dad gifted Pierre to his daughter four years ago, knowing how much she adored the two-foot-tall, tail-less horse with a hollow hole through his center. She filled that hole with vintage yardsticks and put Pierre on top of her bookcase.
