Lullaby for Fox

Sonia from Lullaby for Fox is a very creative lady that works in lots of different mediums. Her shop is filled to the brim with a big range of items. She has a very unique style though, which is easy to recognize no matter the format.

It's easy to see that Sonia has a great love for animals. Most of her work features some sort of creature. They are usually very magical and often anthropomorphized, yet still very much in touch with nature and the seasons.

I am always blown away by the new brooches that hit the shop. They have such stunning details (sometimes even real pearls!) and the ones with faces always look so cute and friendly. Just looking at their pictures tends to make me smile!

One design has even been made into a sterling silver pendant. Because of the silver, it's one of the pricier items in the shop, but it's so beautiful and, I imagine, well worth the money as it'll be a very durable and timeless piece.

Like I said, the shop is pretty packed, so there is lots more to be seen than I managed to share in this blogpost. Definitely take a look, and maybe give the facebook page a like to receive updates and the occasional giveaway.

Owl Things Considered

I just came across these owl watches from NaniWatch on Etsy. Sure there are loads of owl watches out there, but these have a really unique style. I love how the clock doesn't take up the entire watch. It looks wonderful!

Anyway, there are currently 4 owl watches in the shop. One with mustaches and glasses and another cute owl design that is available in 3 colors. They'd be cute on kids too, but I feel they are mature enough to wear as an adult.

And it's not just owls. Here's a cute Japanese design with a really fancy strap. If you like the strap, but want something more neutral, I recommend you also check out the bat design, it's lovely too.

It seems that once a design is sold, it really is gone though. So if you see something you like, you'd better get it. Otherwise you might miss out on something, like this adorable owl watch that I noticed in the "sold"-section.

Anyway, you can find the shop through this link. Enjoy!

the Cacomistle

It's not often you suddenly discover the existence of a cute animal you didn't know about yet. And the cacomistle -or "ringtailed cat"- looks so cute that I'm surprised it's not a huge hype on the internet. Granted, it looks pretty eerie in some other picture, but just look at this face!

Here's a little video so you can see one in action:

Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow to announce who won that lovely photography prize pack!

Konokoshop has some of the cutest things! So instead of just one item, I thought I'd show you a whole bunch.

This mug is cuter to store that in is to use. Perhaps odd, but very appealing nonetheless!

I know you usually want to keep mice away from your food, but aren't these salt and pepper shakers adorable?

And the final food-related item: Pocky chopsticks. Such a clever idea!

They also sell lots of these coin purses. This is the koala of course, but the others are worth checking out too!

 What did I tell you? Cute shop, right? Click here to see even more.

This satchel has everything I love! The colors, the cute little characters, the fairy tale theme. And hey, it's a satchel, which has never, in the history of mankind, been a bad thing

It's part of an entire collection of fairy tale purses. Another one of my favorites is this one.

And it has a wallet -well, you have to buy it seperately- to match!

Is this collection amazing, or what? It looks both French and Japanese at the same time. And it enables you to give in to that child within while still looking pretty grown-up. I'd better start saving...

Muffin's Sad Song

When watching television last week I discovered this amazing kids show on the BBC. It's called "3rd and Bird". It is beautifully made, has the cutest characters and some lovely stories as well.

When I searched for more episodes online, I came accross this adorable song from one of the little birds:

Now wasn't that cute?!

Anyway, if you have kids I highly recommend this show, but even if you don't, it is well worth watching a few episodes. Enjoy!

MAC Cosmetics' new collection is mindblowing. I happened to walk by them today and couldn't help but take a closer look. The more time I spent looking at this eyeshadow kit, the more in love I fell. Yet I still managed to pry myself loose, because I need to watch my spending with the big move coming up.

The neutral eye kit you see above is definitely my favorite, but seeing the collection as whole is well worth a visit to the MAC store. Even if you can't/won't buy anything either.

Even the displays are fantastic! And the colors they chose, both of the exteriors and the actual make-up, are beautiful.

I apologise if you can't afford it either this time of year and is making you very greedy too! If it is, at least you now have something to put on your Christmas wishlist, right?

As brooch enthusiast I almost screamed when I found Sconnie and Jam on Etsy today. Here are a few of my favorites:

I love this design so much! The shapes intrigues me and, well, we have the same haircut...

One of the coolest ideas for a brooch I've ever seen. I always feel bad when I throw out my soy fishes, but this is the perfect solution to hang on to one forever!

Cute bunny, cute frame, need I say more?

I could have posted pretty much all items on my blog, they're all amazing. I suggest you head on over there to check out the Sconnie and Jam shop in all its glory.

Spotted

My friend Olga from wassupbrothers is currently Etsy's Featured Seller! If you haven't read the interview yet, you should head on over there and check it out. Anyway, it inspired me to do a spotted all about one of the creatures she makes: the wingless bird, the Kiwi!

Starting with her Fidjii of course.

I've also always loved the illustration on this shirt.

This ring is cute on both sides! I really love the idea of a hidden heart in the palm of your hand.

This pillow is a great way to add a cute animal to a very grown up home.

I love those simple animal necklaces. The ones with bunnies or owls, but this unconventional one is very cool as well.

If you're good with knitting needles you can get a free pattern to make one of these.

As usual, a stamp! I bet this would look great as a hidden surprise on the corner of an envelope.

And this cartoon always makes me feel a little sad, but never fails to make me laugh.

And last, but not least. Here's a lovely animation:

If you know Kate from Scathingly Brilliant, you might also know she has a bunch of adorable shops. I recently spotted some items in her "Sweet and Lovely" shop, that really are sweet and lovely.

These rainbow sweater clips for instance. I absolutely love this idea!

And this is one of the best collars I've ever seen. It might not be for every day, but I suppose special things should be saved for special occasions, right?

And up last is this lovely simple cat brooch. Don't you love that color? I just finished knitting a dress -pictures coming soon- in that exact shade. So I think they'd be a perfect match!

Amazing accessories, right? Click here to see more.

Blue Birds

Honestly, I find it hard to resist anything with a Peter Pan collar. But I really couldn't leave the store without this amazing shirt! It's one of the best bird prints I've ever seen. And I adore the color combination as well.

It's way too cold now to wear it as is, but thankfully it also works with a longsleeve. I say it's time to hunt down some winter items with cute collars as well!

The Furby is back! It might have seemed like it was a thing of the past, but they're releasing a new -and  refurbished hehe- version next week.

{source}

And this batch has so many more cool abilities than the last one. You can actually create its personality! Which is fun when you have one, but even better when you put two together.

When you have a smartphone or tablet you can feed it by sliding food toward it and... it even has a translator from English to Furbish! So if your Furby says something to you, you'll get the English translation and vice versa.

Yes, I should probably have outgrown these sorts of things a while back, but these guys are pretty hard to resist, aren't they?

Owl Things Considered

If you've been looking for some owls with a bit of an Aw-Factor, you're in luck. This is about as cute as they can get. And Jessie from ThreeDogsandaCat really knows how to put some personality into her owls too!

I really love the variety of owls in this shop. From fuzzy little owlets with books under their wings to amazingly lifelike great horned owls. And there are some other creatures available too. Just click here to check them all out.
