Ursa Minor.

I'd kinda like one of these.

Ursa is not your average bear. Her powerful hardwood frame can hold many poses. Her elastic-band muscles and durable wood limbs make her almost impervious to breakage. Almost!

Marzipan Good Luck Piglets.

In Germany, well wishers give marzipan "Glücksschweinchen" to people for good luck at Christmas and New Year’s. Imported from Germany, our adorable (& yummy!) Marzipan Piglets will bring ample good luck for the New Year. Good luck for the lucky recipient and good luck for the giver as well!

Life-size cow sculptures.

I have absolutely no idea why I want these so very much, but I do.

Trick the neighbors into thinking you’ve gotten a new pet with the Life Size Cow – Grazing. The beautiful black and white finish of the Life Size Cow – Grazing made from resin and fiberglass will have them fooled with its life-size structure.

Designed by the Phillips Collection, the Life Size Cow – Grazing is intricately painted and detailed creating a uniquely elegant statue. Suitable for outdoor display, the Life Size Cow – Grazing is also available in the Life Size Cow – Standing position and creates a whimsical arrangement when displayed together in your outdoor space.

Ben Walker.

Yes, I'm totally in touch with my inner nerd. Saw this guy's work at Comic-Con in San Diego and LOVED it.

'Duck Man' catches five ducklings before they crash to earth.

Two or three times every year, Joel Armstrong will look out his bank office window nervously, waiting for the sign. When he hears a mother duck quacking from the ground, he'll rush outside and start catching newborn chicks from the air, as they tumble one after another from their nest above.– Mental Floss

I really can't imagine this is a very good fish environment, but it's really pretty.

GEORGE pet products sale.

I'm posting this solely because I have SUCH a soft spot for this shop. Years ago, when I was doing research on DIY shopping sites, I ran across GEORGE. They're scrappy, have the sweetest design aesthetic, and they fully recognized the potential of pleasing pet product design before it became "a thing." I love them.

And how cute is this graphic??

piggy.

A lovely concept well executed.

Piggy is a set of two savings banks that nest together. The larger “momma” bank is for a child’s personal savings, and the smaller bank is for the child's charitable savings.
