    Go Bananas

    As a kid, I always thought the Chiquita Banana stickers were pretty cool. I didn’t so much like the bananas, but the stickers were aces. Now I can design my very own version of the iconic sticker here. They even have a Lucha Libre version.

    Via Super Punch.

    Etsy Find: Pregnant Pause

    I had to pause to admire this handcrafted table from Josh Urso Design. It’s made from resin impregnated rope and is aptly name Knoop, which is Dutch for rope.

    Having a Ball

    I think we can safely, if somewhat sheepishly, say that this adorable lamp is the Belle of the Wrecking Ball. Couldn’t resist.

    Freaky Friday

    Never mind the secret garden, this garden has a secret. A terrible secret. This has to be the creepiest statue I’ve seen in a while. Possibly ever. See more weird garden decor found on Amazon.com here.

    Etsy Find: IT Bags

    This is a little off the home-decor topic but I had to post about these IT bags from Noised Up. I love the occasional fancy purse. I think we all do. But I like that these versions offer a little commentary about that “statement” piece.

    Tweet as Pie

    Spring is springing and the birds are singing and apparently even I am getting into the act with a little rhyming prose inspired by CB2′s tweet bird feeder.

    The Updated Family Tree

    Framed family trees can make beautiful heirlooms, but they are just that… heirlooms. They can look a little out of place or stodgy if your decor is more modern.

    But My Tree and Me allows you to design a beautiful, modern version of your family tree by choosing a design and colors and filling out a simple genealogy form.

    Via ReadyMade.

    Gossip Folks

    I just ran across some of the work of folk artist Dylan and Jo over on Super Punch. These, well, I don’t really think you can call them dolls, so these pieces of art are from a collection called “frivolity.” Certainly worth spreading the word about.

    Etsy Find: Rose Colored Glasses

    This unusual print is one of four in a similar vein I found at Studio Beerhorst’s Etsy shop. Other works include drawings, collages and wood-cut prints, but these classical giclee prints are what really caught my eye (no pun intended).

    Stack ‘em Up

    My mom has a collection of vintage stacked tea sets. I’ve always admired their self-indulgent feel, the idea that you have a complete tea set – cream and sugar bowls and a cup for just one. And I love this updated version from Anika Engelbrecht for the same reasons. We all deserve a few minutes to ourselves for a cup of tea and some cookies that we don’t have to share.
