Skymall madness


Alright, I have a confession to make. I LOVE SKYMALL. I want that crazy hot dog toaster, or this sleeping lounge thing (pictured above and available at skymall.com for $29.95), or maybe an automatic watch winder or upside down tomato garden. I get really excited everytime I fly to see what the good people at hammerkershlemmer have come up with for me. What's that? I need a wine robot now? AWESOME!!!

Monkeys galore


I couldn't resist putting up these happy little monkey dolls that are handmade by a woman in Australia. It appears that they are sold out for now, but she has a mailing list so if you like-y you should sign up!
Oh psst...if you want a monkey doll this holiday season let me know, my bestie (not beastie) Amy is making sock monkeys by hand and they are just as cute as these...promise.

Christmas craft part 2: Yoko style

Step one: Sharpen a pencil
Step two: Lay a cushion on the floor next to your tree for your guests to kneel on
Step three: Cut out an ornament shape from a white piece of paper
Step four: Using the sharpened pencil write "ho ho ho" on a small piece of paper as tiny as you can
Step five: Hang it at the very bottom of the tree using a decorative ribbon
Step six: Using another decorative ribbon, hang a magnifying glass next to your ornament
Step seven: Don't say anything to your guests about it. Those that crouch down to read the message are your super sophisticated guests. The rest wouldn't recognize art if they saw it.

If I had I chance I would "steel" this


"Whoa nelly" is what I said to myself when I saw this chic blackened steel necklace on Rare Device's website. They do such a nice job of choosing the grooviest goodies and keeping my credit card nice and hot! I wantie.
