I took them home and painted them brown and rubbed gold leaf on the ridges. The green fur that they reside on , I obtained at the same store.

Through the years, I have thought to place them on different settings. It does not seem right without the green fur placement. Cherishing the feeling this decor creates and ...
Loving the memories
