Absolutely, Fabfashion! The tight bond between koala mothers and their joeys was one of the first things that attracted me to them. Plus, as I've probably said before, their emotional expressions can resemble humans'.Aww…that’s the best hug ever. They look so content.
That's a very nice hippo ring. It looks a bit familiar. Possibly I looked at it when it first came out, altho I think the price would have been out of reach or I couldn't find enough occasions to wear it. I have a couple, one in silver that looks demented (this one I do wear now and then) and a gold enameled ring with little tusks. That I've never worn, I'm afraid the I would damage it. And I have a Swatch watch with hippos on it that look wacky and fun. I enjoy wearing the watch. Ebay had the Swatch hippo watch that I bought yeqrs ago.
I'm seeing a pattern here between the crazy-looking fish necklace and this stuff.
Henrietta Hippo ring. Picture from Etsy.
Madame Bijoux, is the Barnes Foundation the museum place with a gazillion pictures ? I've been there eons ago.
Lovely little friend in your picture.
I’ve never been to Philadelphia but the Barnes Exhibit came to Toronto in 1994 so my DH and I got a chance to see many wonderful artwork. My favorite was Amedeo Modigliani’s Reclining Nude. Still left quite an impression on me.
Do you have a favourite there, @Madam Bijoux ?
I like your Hippo collection, @eagle1002us! It’s fun and whimsical. The ring looks very interesting. I bet when you wear it, people wonder what it is unless they can see the face of it. You have such interesting and unique collection—and a depth of knowledge.
I found this gold and diamond Tiffany hippo brooch circa 1991 from Pinterest. Don’t think it looks as cute as the diamond koala.
@eagle1002us, any word on Joey? Wonder how the little guy is doing.

Hi Fabfashion,
I have two favorites at the Barnes:
Le Linge by Edoard Manet
Madame Monet embroidering by Claude Monet
I'm surprised by Tiffany. This is not IMO a good rendition of a hippo. This "hippo" lacks the big muzzle I guess you call it of an adult or maturing hippo.
Here's a hippo brooch by Henry Dunay that I like. It's funny and a little intimidating at the same time. So, I'd probably never get it aside from how much it costs -- unless I turned like 90 and no longer cared what anyone thought. (90 is a few years off, fortunately, so I don't have to make that decision now). But it is an excellent spirited hippo clearly exhibiting the bullying tendency of a large hippo (no one argues with big hippos).
Fabfashion, which joey were you referring to? Sometimes there's updates by rescue ops like 1300koalaz.
Madame Bijoux, a week or so ago I created a Pinterest board on window scenes thru the seasons. The bottom pix certainly qualifies for that plus it has a pretty lady as a subject, so it fits. When I get a chance I'll include it. Thanks for posting.
Fabfashion, that Tiffany hippo pin seems to depict a hippo who looks bewildered or puzzled. It's probably wondering where it's muzzle went to.
