Those are wonderful, especially the elephant!
Holy smokes, they are gorgeous! I especially love the toggles...and the branch..and the turtle....ok, the whole shebang! Just fantastic!
Love all the new pieces!
Is that little guy between the elephant and the turtle a robot? And if so, how did I miss him when I was shopping at the gem show?
(Also, I posted this on FB!)
I agree- they are fantastic! the owl, the peacock, the turtle- each one is fabulous. Please add my name to the generous give away.
