How the heck did faux, fake or real taxidermy come back into fashion? I am scratching my head. I thought it was in vogue with the shelter magazines only until I started seeing it in chain lifestyle stores and catalogs. Why, oh why, am I unable to warm up to this trend?  Even the stylized pieces in white ceramic, acrylic and cable knit leave me baffled.  I’d rather display my 11 year old neice’s nose-shaped pencil sharpener. (You insert the pencil into the nostril to sharpen it.)
