Hello dear WS readers. Miss us? Sorry for the long break in new posts, the holiday season proved pretty hectic. Here’s trying to slow things back down a bit:

A nice change from gnomes and flamingos, this garden sculpture won’t embarrass you in front of your neighbors. Made of a repurposed WWII helmet and recycled machinery parts, it’s creator, Fred Conlon, enjoys employing materials used in war for more peaceful measures. This little guy is intended to stay outside and rust over time, which is apparently part of it’s charm. He’s available at Uncommon Goods for $100.
