    Etsy Find: Chihuahua

    I can’t remember on which blog I saw this first, but it’s been making the rounds the last few weeks. I was surfing around on Etsy this morning and saw it again. I don’t own a chihuahua and I’m really more of a big dog person myself, but I cannot deny the mesmerizing elegance of this little guy (or gal). What a fantastic photo.

    Chihuahua in a Scarf, $40.

    How Doth the Little Crocodile

    I just happened upon the drawings of Jon Carling in the art section of Etsy and I’m completely smitten. This one, entitled Led by a Creature White as Snow, reminds me of my favorite childhood book, Fables.

    Find more of his work here.

    Cat on Hot Porcelain Plate

    Funny how cats feel the need to sleep on whatever is taking our attention away from them - the computer, the newspaper, the remote… This beautiful serving platter sort of takes it to the extreme. The good news is this hand-painted kitty is 100% guaranteed not to shed on your appetizers, which is a lot more than you can say for the real thing.

    Need Not Arrange

    The Need Not Arrange Anymore bookshelf is meant to prevent us from feeling the need to neatly organize our bookshelves according to some sort of logic. Instead, the books become part of an ever-changing work of art. If only they could do the same thing with my junk drawer.

    Nerds of a Feather

    I love science. I’ve never been great at it, but it always seems awesome on the Discover channel. And science love is in the air with these nerdy his and hers embroidered molecules. The hers is the estrogen molecule while the his is testosterone. Totally adorable.

    A Tempest in a Teacup

    And I Like to do Drawerings…

    When I wish that I could draw, which is often, I wish that I could draw things like these. Simple and dark and full of humor. Like something from a children’s book.

    Love Sick

    I am absolutely in love with the photography of Billy und Hells. From Rossetti homages to cowboys, it’s all amazing, decadent and enchanting. Alas, our love is not meant to be. The few prints I can find available for sale are around 2500 Euros each. Time to buy a few scratch tickets and hope for a lottery win.

    Via Thought Patterns.
