This owl wind spinner would look interesting hanging in any little nook in your home—watching over you.

Mr. Peacock loves this footed sugar bowl! It would be nice for holding all the little treasures piled on top of your dresser.

This display mannequin head looks like it’s right out of a 1930’s film.
