which seems a bit right

If you look closely you can see that he holds a cigar in his raised hand

I think they're really great looking (and feeling) bowls

or hang it from the ceiling in front of your yoga mat to provide a focus point

What's especially cool about this old carved whimsy is that the "shelf" separating the two balls slides all the way up and down inside

Vintage Folk Art Yellow Bird, Signed H. Sloan, Maine made in Kashmir which seems a bit rightThis is one of six carved and painted birds I found together, all signed H. Sloan, Maine, and I believe dating to the 1980s or so. I've found a few other birds signed by Sloan out there on the internet, but haven't been able to dig up anything about him, and don't have a first name. Clearly he loved his birds, and his color too. I believe this bright yellow one, with its black eyes and beak, may be a warbler, but am not 100% certain. 4 1 4" long x 3 3
