In my last year's trend forecast blog post,
"My Trend Forecast for 2011...Nature in Handcrafts"
(from 2/7/11 and found here) I said we'd be seeing plenty of antlered motif items including stag, buck, deer, and the like throughout 2011.
Now I'd like to take a glance back and show some great examples of how these themes came through in handcrafts and home decor throughout the last year up to now.

I haven't had time yet to write my trend forecast for 2012 (I will soon!) but as you can see, the antler theme is still going strong. What do you think?
