Wild Slice Designs
One of my favorite decor looks is the rustic/cabin look. Look at these beautiful sculptures using slices of reclaimed wood, a natural beauty. Be sure to check out the WildSliceDesigns shop, based in Oregon, to see more of their fantastic designs.

Poppy and Fern
I am just in love with PoppyandFern's miniature hand embroidery, based out of Texas. Such cuteness in a tiny package. Check out the shop on etsy to see more of her work!
Vintage Little Metal Hippo
While cleaning out a friend's barn, my husband made this discovery. I loved it so much that my friend let me keep him. He looks like he is made from cast metal, and he must be old. My husband is guessing that it's from the 1930s. I found out that the star-shaped screws were invented in 1934, and it is held together with these type of screws.
I tried to do some research on him, but there are no markings on him. The only thing I found was this blog post where someone else, in New Zealand, had found one that is identical.
Mine appears to be all original. I opened him up and he is hollow inside.
his mouth opens:
his head, arms and legs rotate around, and he has a "loop" on his head that leads me to think that he is meant to be a pendant of some sort:
If you have any information on him, I'd really love to hear what you think!
