We recently spotted this nice-looking sheep (above left) online at Moss and we were entranced by the lovely fluffy form of this animal. Looks like fun to play on and around, and a good companion for any child.
But then we saw the price tag. $575?! Hmm, we'd rather buy a new dishwasher.
So we were pleased to later come across another sheep at B. Braithwaite, this time at the more palatable price of $209. Not exactly a steal, but it's a beautiful piece, abstract in form but plenty friendly for a nursery.

MEP - I was just about to suggest the same sheep from Target! They were only 9.99 and felt nice and wooly. They reminded me of a stuffed animal lamb I had as a kid.
It seems too often that design lovers are being taken advantage of. Then again, there may be those individuals that believe something is well-designed because of it's price tag.
A $575 decorative sheep seems more than a bit outlandish. Even at $209, it still feels like someone's pulling my leg.
