Gold & Brass Animals {Love it!}

Has anyone else noticed the obsession with gold and brass animals recently? Tag it a spinoff from Harry Allen’s gold pig bank or not, I’m loving the gold and brass animalia we’re seeing these days. Of course, the real thing is always fabulous…

However, these DIY gold pieces are just as fun and whimsy…

What do you you of this craze? To see more DIY gold / brass animals feel free to pop over to my accessories pin board or DIY pin board.

Love them Wendy! I saw an elephant family in a junk store in NYC.. Thought of going in each day and of course the day i decided to on in to check them out, they were closed!

Good seeing you on Saturday.
I love the touch of whimsy they add to a room no matter whether they are gold or not! I have a big painted deer head over my fireplace and its always quite the topic!
