My dad used to keep a kangaroo on his desk that held his pipe tobacco and a couple of other items. I couldn't believe it when I saw a similar one in "Pulp Fiction."

And how is that a pop-up market? It looks like a regular farmers' market.

@Pi, I've seen them at Johnson's Nursery on Wisconsin Avenue. As others have said, there are loads of them right now at West Elm (on M Street). And I've seen them for sale every year at the Takoma Park Street Festival (early October). If you google them, you can also find lots of online sources.

Here's what they say in their house tour about the bull:
"We purchased the bull on eBay about two years ago. It's hard to make out the signature but I think it says ASTIAN, 1967. It's made out of a plaster with a faux bronze finish-it's one of our favorite pieces."
