The Portlandia clip Put a Bird on It, has made me think a lot the past week about design - particularly the design trends we all get caught up in... like granite; avocado appliances; brass fixtures; mass-produced, over-sized, cheap leather club chairs; laminate wood floors... the list goes on.   What always trips me up these days... fake animal heads.   Tell me you don't see them EVERYWHERE, I do because when I do see them they always stop me in my tracks.   I am sure you are all having visions of my house as being covered in wood and ceramic animal heads, but it is not, most of the reproductions are a bit out of my price range for a tchotchke.

Anthropologie released these beauties in their new spring catalog - they are wall hooks!   I bought them today... thank you Piper, I finally used the gift card you gave me a million years ago!
