Silver and Gold Animals

They are whimsical...they are cute...they are silver and gold...I want them.  I like that the penguin is functional too.  What a cute idea to use it as a bookend and rest wine corks there.  Touches like these make a huge difference when creating little moments around your house that are very "you."   I will have to keep my eyes peeled at the thrift stores and flea markets for these beauties.
