Friday Finds WE 091105
Quick Friday Finds, because I'm way behind work.
Axelhoney. I was [this close] to making Axelhoney a Treasure, but as its product range is rather limited at the moment, I am making it a Find, instead. Because it *is* a find. I like the Berrs a lot. They show a lot of creativity, though for some reason, my favorites are the monster berrs. That concept just cracks me up and is adorably twisted. Little teddy bears zombified and on the rampage; it doesn't get much cuter. I really like some of the illustrations, too. Not all of them are my cup of tea, but a lot of them are, and I think they're very good. A 70s-esque girl daydreaming in the sun. A huge-eyed hippopotamus staring back at you from the water while a bird perches on its head. Girls sleeping peacefully on clouds of floating, fluffy white sheep (genius, that one), and many, many more. There's also a huffy little robot painted on a box that cracks me up. The girl behind Axelhoney, Melissa, has a degree in Fine Art and works as a graphic designer. I like that her site is set up like a little leather address book, and she's definitely a creative soul. Give Axelhoney a looksee. :)
Remember back in the day (ha ha), when I was posting about aprons and wanting to find more feminine, vintage-style aprons? Well, I just found Sweet Pea Handcrafts this week. :) Sweet Pea offers "retro" aprons, both bib and waist styles, with a distinctly vintage look. I'm actually not a fan of bib aprons because they make my neck hurt, no matter how I tie them (too many years spent wearing them while waiting tables and bogging them down with heavy things), and they're not wide enough to actually protect your shirt from splatters (every single time I make spaghetti sauce, I spatter myself). But Pea's have nice wide bibs that actually look to protect your entire front, and that makes them aces, in my book. :)
Ahrr, matey, thar be 10 short days left until International Talk Like a Pirate Day, September the 19th. Will ye be ready? Sail on over to the Pirate Page, ye scurvy bilge rats, and belay what ye need before barnacles form on yer bottoms. ;)
Or um, something. :)
Take the What's My Pirate Name quiz at fidius. My quiz results are below, although I am Buccaneer Maggie at MSN's pirate name generator and Grace Cutthroat at Froggynet.
Here's a place you can go to post or see photos others have posted of actual gas prices across this wide land.
And finally, a history of stained glass.
Sorry there are no fun fashion finds this week. They're scattered about in my bookmarks, and I don't have time to really put together a proper entry. Sorry, mateys--er, hearties--er, um, friends.
Have a good weekend. 'Til later. I am
Yours very peacefully,
Bloody Jenny Bonney
