After my brief foray into the artistic underworld of sickening pretension, I’m back to featuring something I’m absolutely crazy about: the Laser Cut Victorian Doll House.
I was recently musing about hypothetical components of my “dream house.” Well, I’m pretty sure it’s all here.
I think I want to pin a picture of this on the wall for inspiration. Luckily, if I can never live in a house like this…I’m pretty sure I’d be thrilled just to have the model.
It would take a staggering amount of work to put this together, properly painted and all. But it would be SO worth the finished product!

(Note: a generous benefactor…we’ll call him…Sir Blue Flavor…has tentatively agreed to fulfill my dreams of owning this, under the condition that I address my remaining health troubles and get nice and strong…he’s got a DEAL!)
Ah, a girl can dream…
In browsing Etsy, I came across some great creations from Ragtrader. The vintage style rings are ADJUSTABLE (a real treat because I have unreasonably slender fingers that no adult rings come close to fitting).
Although I’m not a Taurus, I would happily wear the Taurus Zodiac Ring, as a reminder of (or fitting tribute to) those nearest and dearest to me born under this sign.

Also in Scorpio (another favorite) and Leo.
This vintage Going Steady Charm Necklace is pretty amazing. Both halves of the couple appear to be male (perhaps one has a 1950’s bob haircut if it’s a hetero charm?), but I like it. I’m an old fashioned romantic.

The Silver Love Letter Necklace appeals to me because I like jewelry filled with secrets.

Some of you may know, I do not have the stereotypical female lust for shopping. But I have an odd love of interesting socks. Most days my socks are plain black, yet I’ve developed a bit of a collection for special occasions. I should really ask Sock Dreams if they want to sponsor this blog!
Here are the latest on my wish list:
Chat Noir Knee Highs (I already have this painting on a poster and shirt)

These might be a little high on the cute factor for me to purchase (after all, I only like to bust out a full-on *cute* accessory a few times a year), but I can smile at them from afar.
Perhaps I just like the idea that someone chose a Manatee as a sock subject.

Since I can’t blow close to $100 on socks to get them all…does anyone have particular favorites out of these? I’m leaning toward Peacock Feathers and Chat Noir at least.
As a tiny picked-last-in-gym-class woman, I can’t wear a “sporty” shirt without instantly turning myself into a walking piece of ironic comedy. However, I could wear these Novel-T shirts with pride! Literary geekiness FTW!
They have some great authors. I’d love to see Huxley, Nabokov and Orwell in the collection too.

What a wonderful poster by Russel Walks: a periodic table of fictional elements.
The elements names are fantastic. Crapcrapium, Wonderflonium…
If only I had a space to hang this!
Get one here.
This could very well go on my project list, which means that some lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view) individual may eventually receive it as a gift.
Who wants to build a Ratmobile with me?
I don’t need any more encouragement to throw some sort of science themed party…yet here it is.
These would look great in some fresh punch!
Little fact: I’ve never actually experienced the phenomenon of “brain freeze.” I think I eat and drink too slowly.
The enigmatic and fantastic Thomas Woodruff has released a new project: Freak Parade.
Each detailed piece functions on its own, while connecting to the rest of the “parade.” Animal, vegetable, mineral, musical, ethereal, mythological and fantastical images mingle in these delightfully dark images.
I have to be careful about spending money on too many books, but this one is going on the wish list. I’m sure it looks stunning in print.
See the Freak Parade here.
The art world has been buzzing about Camille Rose Garcia’s illustrations in the new Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
Hi-Fructose just had a behind the scenes look that made me all the more eager to get my hands on a copy.
I swear, this woman can do no wrong.
