Something Shiny Moved

At a glance, this contraption just LOOKS cool… but then you read what it can do, and you are beyond dazzled.  That was my experience, at least. I remember when I was a kid, there was this game at Happy Joe’s that gave bouncy balls, and I developed quite the collection. I was pretty proud [...]

I love the buttons on this soap! I love buttons, in general… So it stands to reason that I would love button soap. Unfortunately, it’s a soap that I would buy and not want to use because it was too pretty and I wouldn’t want the buttons to wear away and reveal the plain old [...]

$6 @ Kate Greiner.

So I’m posting this today.  I found it yesterday while I was googling for what to feed squirrels.  I spent the better part of the day yesterday watching these two squirrels outside my window.  They chased one another and played on the fence and in the tree not ten feet away from my open window. [...]

These are an awfully lot like the lamps I already have in my living room, except mine feature clear glass parts, instead of the varying shades of yellow/orange… I also only paid $49 per lamp (at Target). I really love these though…  just not the 300 dollar price tag. $298 @ Anthropologie.

$18 @ Amazon.com.

$75 @ Barn Owl Primitives.

$23 @ The Crimson Moon.

Unfortunately, I’ve already dressed up for Halloween… But I would totally wear this on any other day of the year… if it were socially acceptable. It’s cute, right? $95 @ Lynn’s Rags.

This architect turned artist will even take custom orders to draw your city skyline… Amazing. Who wants to go halfsies on commissioning her to draw Muscatine? How about Indy?  $16 @ Architette.

Because a cute, baby puppy is TOTALLY better than an 8-ball of coke… which is why I’m working on a law that would mandate puppy distribution at NA meetings. I’m pretty sure I will attain victory in the “War on Drugs” within the year. Mark my words. $20 @ GemmaBear.

Yes. A couple more of pieces of modern furniture for today. Still obscenely expensive. Still extremely lust-worthy. I’m telling you… I should design modern “accent chairs.” I wanna be a billionaire… so freaking bad! $555 @ All Modern.

I saw all the TMNT movies. I think my favorite, by far, is TMNT 2: The Secret of the Ooze. Firstly, there were all the cool ooze related toy tie-ins… You could slime the bad guys, and make a holy mess and it was completely on the up and up. Secondly. There was April O’Neil. [...]

If ever there was a business that I would like to get into, it would be the modern furniture business. For example, the above chair was designed by Frank Gehry… and yes. He’s way famous. I mean. I own a necklace that he designed for Tiffany. But is he REALLY famous enough to make a [...]

Domo Arigato… to the lovely couple. $85 @ Bunny With a Toolbelt.

When I come across an item like this, I inevitably wish that I knew how to sew, or weave, or knit (or whatever one must do to manufacture such an item). I have made this deal with myself that I won’t have a kid unless I know how to do all those things… But I [...]

$13 @ Amazon.com.

$15 @ Top Decal.

I’ve really been into feathers lately. I have no idea. I think that’s why this particular necklace caught my eye… the accent feather. I also recently learned that most birds are incontinent. I was struck with a sense of surprise that I had made it almost all the way through my 20s without ever knowing [...]

Almost immediately after seeing this card, I got the Golden Girls theme song stuck in my head… only it was stuck there with the alternative lyrics, “Thank you for being a douche.” Someone should write that exact song… and then I will claim 60% of the royalties. I DID “write” the chorus, after all. $2 [...]

$170 @ Kikuike.

Best Friend necklaces were all the rage when I was in grade school… I have no idea if this is an item that is somehow cyclical, and just keeps coming back… Or if this item was crafted by someone from MY generation who remembered the convention of tagging your friends with JEWELRY (long before Facebook [...]

$14 @ Amazon.com.

$15 @ Rock River Tees.

$38 @ Tovi Cory.
