I guess it started last year on a buying trip to Atlanta for VOWs bridal market with my insanely talented florist friend (more on her later). We bought a whole bunch of wedding gowns and then took to the streets to find a few nicknacks for ourselves. Thats when we stumbled into West Elm and I met her. My first hippo. My friend convinced me to walk away, but one cocktail later and I was back handing my credit card over. Here's her picture:
Isn't she awesome? Below is how she was first styled. Now she is just kinda floating off center on a random wall after a dinning room makeover, but we are out of this rental house by next month and I'm already scheming on where to put her.
However, the tricky part has been that once I bought my first hippo I want more... "Waddle it Be" bookends? Genius Modcloth, Genius.
