que?? I understand the Rainbow animals part, but the dressing up? The animals aren't even wearing outfits. Put some clothes on those rainbow animals! The panda is my fav., no outfit for him, he's perfect.

lots of map pins and fun tack

Some press

from Taiwanese magazine Bang! Try to spot my 3 tiny illos on the cover.
I find the randomness of the illos they selected so humorous.

I just added this original oil painting of Timmie Tadpole daydreaming while reading to the SHOP!

Peter Peanut (right) was just informed that he is not actually a NUT but in fact a LEGUME. He responded with, "What?!? You're all effin' nuts!"

Thanks Millie!

One of Timmie's adoptive parents added some fun new photos to the Timmie group on Flickr. Above is one of my favs :)

Cram Cream napkins!?! *faints*

amongst a lot of other kawaii. All I have to say about this website is... damn you Pound Sterling (+ Euro too will I'm at it). Poor weak Mr. U.S. Dollar :' (

Strawberry toothbrush holder. You need this.

Mushroom toothbrush holder. You need this in case the strawberry one breaks down.


and this too, 'cause fake vegetables with cute faces are part of a healthy balanced diet.

WHAT?! That's crazy talk.

Sneaks

I like the white on white with a bit of color action. I wish the sole wasn't so thick though. Made by Vans.

Somehow this came out scary looking. In my head the idea seemed cute. Sorry in advance if this image gives you nightmares :)

Looking but not touching...

I just did my taxes and realized I saved/made zippo,zilcho,nada dollars last year (and the year before that, and the year before that). So I am trying to be more modest in my kawaii-spending. Instead I will just show you what caught my eye :) All available at Superbuzzy *sigh*

PROTOTYPE SALE- Vinyl Pouch/Wallet

I just added this slightly imperfect but completely lovable vinyl pouch to my etsy shop. It features my happy bear pattern, polka dots galore and a heavy duty snap closure.

These are leatherette strawberries designed for scrapbooking on top of a lime green and white folder that I heart.

Let's all go to Paris!

Two of my favorite painters, Sorolla and Sargent, are having a show together(!) at the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris! Now who wants to be my French guide? ;) The last time I went to Paris I felt like the locals wanted to vomit on me when I attempted to speak "French". I really would love to learn French and Spanish well. I currently have my cousins visiting from South America. Our only form of communication is the "smile and nod", the good ol' hand gestures, and whatever I picked up from Dora the Explorer! Good times.

Piping Hot

I recently stumbled upon these striped and polka dotted piping/cording. One day I would like to get some and test them out! I saw them at this sweet-looking online shop.
