Etsy Want Wednesday: Unique Felt Gift Wrap

While poking around Etsy for a new phone case (no Neoprene cookie cutter phone case for me!) I found this reusable felt mailer idea. I love items that are simple, yet uniquely inventive.

I was really excited at the thought of sending this via mail to someone, but apparently it's not for sending items through the US postal system. It's "gift wrap". Still, very creative!

smalladventure's shop has great prints and other inventive sewn felt items. I highly suggest a peek.

The Hive Coffee Table, a lovely way to spend LOTS of money.

The "Hive Coffee Table" is really.. well.. cool. I love the geeky use of name, but mostly I just think this is really a gorgeous piece of artwork for your home. Here's the thing. This gorgeous piece of artwork COSTS as much as a gorgeous piece of artwork. This is not a table you'd sit your kiddies at with cryons and coloring book (not JUST because the crayons would slip through the holes).

$1,650.00 is a bit steep for something like this (IMO) but personally I think it's pretty inspiring. Why not buy a cheap glass top table and paint it like this? Hmm.. may be a good idea.

Anyway.. the colors are neat, and the table is super cool and can be purchased at Yliving.com.

2 Cute 4 Words - Why not go cute in da house?

Shanalogic's Mini Birdcage Pillow makes me want to squeel with joy!

Check out this adorable mini throw pillow by mymimi! It features a unique illustration of two super-sweet birds hanging out in their lovely birdcage! Each mini pillow is 7.5"x6"x 2.5" deep and would add cuteness to any room! Buy one or mix and match!


I want to buy 10 of these and wallow in cuteness all damn day! $18.00 is not a bad deal, either!

 I realize cute is in the eyes of the beholder, and yes, this little mouse is dead (as made obvious by the x's for eyes, which everyone knows means your dead) but seriously? It's got pom pom trim! Almost anything is cute with pom pom trim (not huge pimp cars though. Not cute)

The Cherry Box has an entire obnoxiously adorable line called "Plushkill Forest". I would like ALL of them. I'd line my entryway hallway with them, complete with small plaques denoting what each one was. SO scary cute!
$48.00

I have no clue why you would want these. But they are cute. And I happen to be a big supporter of toast. Personally, I think sharpening the edges of toast turn plain bread into a scary weapon. Just think of it. Biodegradable Japanese Throwing Toast! Scary.. not kidding. BUT.. these aren't scary. They're just cute.

I love Etsy for "Cuteness"..I also love Etsy for the sheer pleasure of finding some wacky people making really odd stuff.

These are created by toshiiiko for $16.00.

Well HELLO Mr. Cuteybird McSweetie!

At FredFlare function meets feathered friends with this set of tweety wall hooks! Sold only as a surprise assortment in a merry mix
of pink, green, brown and white with all hardware included. They are almost too sweet to use! 


In my other browser window I'm launching an order for these. Two for $20 bucks ain't a bad deal.. and OMG how adorably adorable are they?

Mac Book Book - Novel Idea!

Now this is a great idea! So neat looking. At $79.99 it's not all that 'necessary' for carrying your Mac book around, but it is pretty cool looking.

BookBook is a one-of-a-kind, hardback leather case designed exclusively for MacBook and MacBook Pro. Available in Classic Black or Vibrant Red, BookBook brings three levels of security to your prized Mac. First, the hardback cover and spine provide solid protection from the rigors of the road. Second, the vintage book design disguises MacBook for superior security. And third, the stylish case protects you from being like everyone else because BookBook is totally original, just like you. 

Tree Railings

This may be one of the most gorgeous railings I've ever seen. Of course, I'm unsure if this is to code in the US, because the US is a bunch of artistic cock blockers. ..heh.

Anyway... this is a creation by imagination in metals. Apparently they're brilliant :)

Seaside Terrariums

With winter weather taking it's toll...(meaning "If I don't get real sunlight I may just stab someone in the forehead") I've been looking towards items that may bring a bit of summer into the house. I found these (Gorgeous!) terrariums by Litill ltd.

Far pricier than I really want to pay - $225 - $500 (but with a bit of research easily reproducable. Obviously the glass globes are not something you'd see at Target, but who says they have to be exactly the same? A nice round trifle bowl may work just as well.

Looking for traditional types of terrariums? Try this for a good DIY - Apartment Therapy, How to make a terrarium.

Tree House Luxury

Oh the things I would do for the chance to live in this place. It's simply magnificent!

Robert Oshatz has created my dream.. a home that is so tree house like in Oregon.

Unique bike basket is a work of art.

Design House Stockholm offers the " Carrie Bike Basket" for a pretty good price. Not super cheap, but if you want your bike to be unique, it's pretty affordable! I love them, although I do so wish they came in more than two colors (white & green).

Most Amazing Iphone Docking Station Ever!

Now these are the height of cool! Made by Woodtec, an etsy seller, these iphone docking stations are made of cedar (and other hard woods) and are compatible with iphone 3g and all ipod devices (not shuffle tho, sorry!)

Considering a Change to Swedish

I've been considering changing the colors/decor in my living room recently. Of course, being unemployed means I need to do this on the cheap (or postpone it). I certainly don't want to postpone it... so I'm hoping I can figure out some cheapy ways to get what I want. I'm thinking spending money on just some couch covers (my current couches are black Ikea couches)

ANYWAY... Looks like I'm gonna have to go with light/whites... here's some inspirational images I found at Design Home Interior.

Amazingly beautiful artwork

Papaya Art offers the most delicious artwork I've ever seen. If I could live inside this site I would. I'm definitely up for the yearly life planner!

Such Juicy Colors

I adore this room. The color reminds me of spring. This gorgeous room is by Lucyina Moody, who's an amazing interior/exterior stylist.

Little Landscapes

I found this site a while back and was SO impressed. Honestly, I did 'Fairy Gardens" for my wedding centerpieces, but they were not at all as elaborate as these little living gems.

Take a look through the site, Little Landscapes, to see some of the amazing mini garden's they offer. Honestly, my thoughts on these are to make them yourselves. I would think if you have some little ones they'd LOVE the thought of planting and making mini gardens with you.

BUT... I'm too much of a kid to resist doing these on my own (I'll let my cats help, maybe).

Pile of Books - Table

Functional and Intriguingly beautiful Book Table!

I absolutely adore this. I'm currently working on a way to 're-do' this on the cheap! I love the cubbies.

"Pile of Books" from Josefin Hellstrom-Olsson.

The Women I Love

Let me say that there are two women in this world... ok, 3... but two famous women in this world I would do anything to meet, or perhaps be... whathaveyou.

Cindi Lauper (which goes without saying) is one of them, but this post isn't about her.

The other is Betsey Johnson. Her clothing line is always the very coolest. Her dresses are super girly, without being lame. Fun, Flirty... her shoes are simply mag. Her bags range from cool to Ohmygod I must have.

Here's a peek into her home. I want it. OH to have the cash to do this.....

According to listing information, the 1,660-square-foot, two bedroom, one bathroom, open-plan penthouse includes ebonized floors, a view over the rooftops of Greenwich Village all the way to New Jersey, a floating staircase that leads to a 1,000-square-foot private roof deck. Right now this pink apartment is for sale for $3.6 million.

Architecture Inspiration - Hobbit House

This is some neat architecture! Can you imagine living in your own hobbit house? It's low impact and "green". But that's kind of secondary to being really neat looking.

I've never been 100% in love with rooms painted pink. There are a few that I've seen pulled off right, but for the most part it always makes me think of living inside a My Pretty Pony cartoon.

This room by Miles Redd really seems to work, though. It could be the fact that I'm desperately in lust with the couch, but I simply adore this look - even with the pink.

There are some things that are so beautiful in their simplicity.
