Monday Musings

In an effort to add a little personality and whimsy to classic  table and desk top displays, my eye keeps coming back to these little decorative creatures.  Using these small animals, along with  more traditional accessories like books, candles, trays and frames would add a lot of charm and interest to any room.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI4WemEMetA0XlLtRyHTKS-hw20_OFQJJXu0W3xKufFTcENdmOAjw0SrzP9pDr5xMxYx9W3R0lGGMwHruOZ5f_Xf47RfQlTnWu-uJ1HbARi_TfZ6-fY8MHCbCZcEJ3rNPAgHwNaEnxnpQ/s1600-h/pt_367.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
