Feeling A Little Horse
This just in. Target is the greatest place on earth. Look at the fantastic porcelain pony that came home with us for under 15 smackaroos.
And now a detail shot for all you equine admirers:
He’s quite at home with his other animal friends (from our ceramic dog in the sunroom and the concrete greyhound in the living room to the iron bull in the den). Gotta love the little animal kingdom we have going on around here. What do you guys (consciously or unconsciously) collect? Any bets on the next ceramic animal we’ll introduce to Young House Love?

I would love to see a post from you guys on “how-to arrange your knick knacks like us without making them look like a bunch of random objects that you put on some tables around your house.”
There should be some sort of list of basic design rules. Please tell me there is! Of the few “knick knacks” I have (or can we call them design accessories??) I feel like they’re either being dwarfed by some other large object, or their arrangement just looks thoughtless and random (and believe me, I’ve actually sat down and tried to think of better arrangements!)
I hope a post soon has tips to share!! ;) hint hint!
It’s adorable! That would look great in our family room. I’m going to check out my local Target to see if I can pick one up!
Cute! Next animal…I say owl. Those owl-shaped umbrella holders seem to be real popular these days.
Elephants. I collect them (selectively) and have always loved them. They are the next hot animal–but not in the same ol’ Thai/Indian way. I would love to see modern elephants, like your horse.
I’m going to guess some sort of bird.
At our house, we collect white serving pieces and pretty much anything blue!!
I tend to collect birds…without even knowing it but lately I’ve been much more aware! There’s one in each room of the house, I think.
Hey Youngsters!
I was just perusing some old posts when I cam across this one….I know Target does not sell this little beauty anymore, but do you know of anyplace (online preferably) that sells something similar?
Also, this next question is about your white shell fruit bowl from ZGallerie: Is it unglazed (non shiny) or is it easily wipeable & smooth?
Thanks so much!
Hope you’re having a great Saturday!!
We actually would recommend Z Gallerie as a place to look for a similar horse. Otherwise try TJ Maxx, Home Goods or Marshall’s. And as for the shell, it feels like it’s sealed with polyurethane, so it’s definitely wipeable but not super glossy (so it’s still believable and real looking). Hope it helps!

Hi YHL! I was in TK Maxx (I’m guessing in the UK we get a K instead of a J for some reason?) and I stumbled across this very item. I mean, identical! Suffice to say I snatched it off the shelf and it is now lording it up in our bedroom while it waits for a more permanent home somewhere in the house. I have no idea where that will be right now, but it doesn’t matter – I love it! I was super-chuffed, as I never though that I would find any of the awesome white creatures that you have over here; I adore the Jonathan Adler and ZGallerie pieces (the JA Bull Bank with Nose Ring is really doing it for me at the moment), but just cannot find them for sale in UK. Oh well – the search continues!
So funny that it’s TK instead of TJ at in the UK, Jo. Either way, so glad you found one!

I bought that same little guy this weekend!
