Window Shopping

by Kim on July 16th, 2008

As I go along my merry way through the land of the Internet, I come across all sorts of crazy and/or unnecessary things that would be fun to have or just fun to know that they exist.

I am fairly certain that no one would actually use this anymore, but it would be so fun to have–a little treasure that I would put on a fancy little dish on my desk and just look at and think how cute is that.  A pen nib in the shape of the Eiffel Tower!  Something for the Francophile that has everything.

 

We are all chocoholics in my house and have to hide the well chosen bars we bring home from one another as we have no boundaries where the taking of artisanal chocolate is concerned.  What’s yours is mine kind of thing.  Is there therapy for that?  Anyway, a delicious example of sweet and salty coming together to make ones mouth dance in gratitude.

 

These are my personal favorites!!  An 18th century signal, if you will, between wearer and viewer, these mouches, or beauty marks,  are self-adhesive velvet sticky things in the shape of hearts, clovers, diamonds, spades and circles.  In today’s world, wearing one of these might just send the message that you are the slightest bit goofy.  But in my books, goofy is great!

Have fun shopping!

    oh my goodness! i want to buy a box of mouches! I read somewhere that someone old, dead and famous had a mouche that was shaped like a teensy horse and carriage. These would be so fun for a costume party!
