Don't fall asleep on these pointy little bits!

Horse, don't look so forlorn. You're going to look so good on my bedside table! Most fashionable horse in my whole house!

Your collection of fairy tales and stories about talking woodland creatures will be right at home on this adorable shelf.

This cake makes me think of the book "Afternoon of the Elves" by Janet Talyor Lisle which I read when I was only 11.

But now she's all grown up and getting married to an equally elvin man and they are having a simple barefoot wedding in the woods.

I'm going to call her Nadine. Because I can. Nadine's contribution to this month's book club meeting is a pot of lovely oolong tea and a sprightly debate about Balzac. She's always got an opinion.

This sweet baby bear is so helpful, telling you what time it is! And such a pretty coat, such lovely grain.

You've all rushed out and stood in line and snatched up every available iPhone 5, I trust? With the new plug design, it's time to treat yourself to a new dock. Oooooh, wood!

When you've got a cold, the sad flowers on a tissue box are hardly comforting. This guy uses the simple skill of breathing to help you out.

These little wooden birdies will fly to you all the way from Slovenia to enhance any outfit! Isn't that nice of them?

From the file of "Things That Look Like Other Things" comes this awesome magic apple!
