A friend asked us to source some unique bookends for a wedding present, and we quickly came to realize that all the good stuff is on Etsy these days.
Bookends are a classic decorative touch that has both functional and decorative purposes. We tend to like mid-century models, some pretty granny-looking stuff, and the occasional silly animal likeness thrown in for good measure.

Adorable, but shouldn't those owls be facing in opposite directions in order for both to face out from the bookshelf?
How is it that the pair I was immediately drawn to are $240?! I have such expensive taste even my subconscious is in on it!
Hee. We had similar owl bookends when I was growing up. Not sure how I feel knowing that 1978 is "vintage".
Is it mean that I want to spray those owls in the eyes? That bright, yellow, glassy eye would FREAK me out!
Thanks SO much for featuring my Asian Children Neon Green bookends!! They were really fun, and were just shipped off to a lucky buyer!
