To my husband's confusion, I've always been a fan of non-functional objects. I'm a sucker for little vessels {that you can't always eat out of} and other quirky, sculptural objects like these that are mainly meant to sit there and look pretty. Are there any less-than-functional objects you're loving lately? — Joy

Ahhh! Those bookends are killing me, they are so adorable.
i love trays that you don’t use to carry anything. We have tons that are just propped up on the shelf. They have great ones at http://www.designtorget.com

Well…. all of these for a start! 🙂 I have to admit, I am a fan of non-functional objects too….can’t get some of them out of my mind. These would be a great start: http://www.kneenandco.com/nymphenburg/porcelain-contemporary-c-1_3_17.html

Me too, I love little objects and fun sculptural pieces! In fact have too many and know more will keep finding their way into my home. My boyfriend has just taken a fancy to that car (Jaguar E type he says) as he passes by…

Awesome… Love the bookends!
The Petit Collage wooden family is so adorable!!! The candy dish would look great on the counter~
I am totally with you – my obsession is jars, vases and vessels and I love your candy dish pick… (although I’m also currently coveting this guy: http://lunareshome.com/catalog/grand-wishbone-gold-p-268.html?osCsid=ep2m9mlsgrcdv3catebpsdsk64)
Have a good weekend!
need the hippo bookends. love.
Especially love those hippo bookends. What is it about things that aren’t useful? They’re often so much more enjoyable.
I have two types of these objects that I collect. One collection is old electrical insulators, the other is my collection of Breyer horses that I had as a child and can’t bear to give away (also, those things were freaking expensive).
Great looking interior decoration items shared in this article looking all so nice,.
small world…few days ago I bought a Rhino door stopper from Zuny.
They also have a hippo
(http://www.zuny.info/collection_show_z.php?protypeid=46&protypeid2=59&pro_id=56&Page=1) which looks a lot like these Hippo bookends….:-)
Love the bookends! So cute!
Béa again :
after Double checking, it seems Zuny is actually making both Hippos styles:
