Something Shiny Moved

$28 @ Urban Outfitters.

$5 @ County Comm.

These are SUPER spy like.  You could totally smuggle secret information from Russia while the KGB is on your tail.  No one would EVER be the wiser, as you put them in the little change/wallet/key basket on your way through airport security.  Just make sure that your shampoo is less than 100ml or you’re basically [...]

$64 @ Anna Joyce.

For nearly a year off and on, Mikey had to wear a little cone around his neck.  He could not be trusted to NOT eat all the fur off his legs.  It was really sad and pathetic because he would lay on the floor and lick his cone and he acted like it felt really [...]

Currently I am in a place where I’ve not done laundry for probably close to a month.  I was doing so well when we first moved.  I had my awesome Kelly Ripa washer and dryer.  I was MOTIVATED.  I am less so these days.  Right now laundry keeps accumulating, and I keep shoving it into [...]

Remember when you were a kid and you tried to make the little chains out of dandelions, but your hands got all sticky and yellow and gross?  Yah.  This is nothing like that.  It sort of reminds me of Andrew Wyeth’s painting, Christina’s World…  Only she’s not really wearing any sort of head dress in [...]

This is soooo much better than whipping out the bathroom scale, and trying to balance your suitcase on top of it in hopes that your luggage is under weight and that the airline of your choice will NOT violate you with your pants on. Ugh to air travel and YAYAY to anything that makes it [...]

This is not only super cute, but it’s also alarmingly inexpensive for a Pottery Barn find.  It kind of has the feel of the old hotel key or mail cubbies.  Excellent display for all your super fun treasures! $129 @ Pottery Barn.

Lately Joe has been on this dill pickle kick.  We go grocery shopping and buy two large jars of pickles, and within the week, they are gone.  I’m certain this craving indicates some sort of mineral deficiency…  or he’s pregnant.  Either way.  I’m SERIOUSLY considering buy this for him so that he can enjoy delicious [...]

This find represents an item that I wouldn’t necessarily buy, but that I think is kinda cute and kitschy.  It’s available with several different “fortunes,” all of which are funnier if you add “in bed” to the end of them. For example.  Now IS the time to try something new…  in bed.  See? P.S.  I’m [...]

I have a thing for really ugly postcards.  I guess I don’t mean ugly, as much as really cheesy and kinda confusing.  I also love the idea of making my own postcards to commemorate certain events for which they absolutely don’t make postcards.  Like the, “Remember That Time We Were Driving in Illinois and I [...]

Having been through the whole getting married/having a reception thing, may I suggest… Instead of invitations and the various other paper good associated with the nuptial event, the bride and groom to be should just save themselves the money and stress and elope.  Seriously.  You’ll be so much happier.  But!  If you’re one of those [...]

At some point shortly after we first moved back, Meghan wore this necklace that she bought at Charlotte Russe (though I didn’t know that when I complimented her on it).  It was gold and enameled yellow and white and looked very much like a vintage-y 1950′s bit of jewelry. After my spiel about how I [...]

This is super cute.  It looks like the kind of sweater that I would want to put on for curling up on the sofa on a cool Fall evening…  And also I’m watching a scary movie…  and eating a carmel apple. And doing all sorts of things that lend themselves so well to Autumn.  I [...]

$78 @ Romp.

My brother Zach is SUPER handy, as I may (or may not) have mentioned in the past.  I’m considering commissioning him to build me a set of two of these funky, cool abacus wall hangings.  It’s kinda amusing because they are $150 dollars EACH and no where in/on the CB2 catalogue, or website do they [...]

$12 @ Amazon.com.

I originally saw this at the Mass Ave. Toy Store and thought it was such a cute idea.  Basically you have all these little trinkets that you use to tell a story…  this can be done alone, I’m sure…  But I really think it’s meant to be a group activity that encourages creativity and imagination. [...]

$27 @ Pure Modern.

Eating at White Castle is punishment for shoplifting in some countries.  That is all. $10 @ Perpetual Kid.

$15 @ Pretty Peacock Shop.
