My Favorite Mirror BLARGS about it.

Your little flufferator is about the cutest, sweetest, most precious thing you’ve ever laid eyes on, right?  Well, do lil Fluff right by immortalizing him or her with our fun, new, custom pop art pet portraits!

You choose the color of the background, the crown style and the crown color.  Then send us a “dead-from-cute” style photo of your pal and we will get to work on securing Fluffer’s place in history via a matted print.

We are back from our craft show extravaganza.  It was beautiful weather the entire time!  I can’t even believe it!  Last year’s summer shows were rained out, but 09 is looking up, at least where Mother Nature is concerned.  Thank you, Mother Nature!  Smooches.  LOVE YOU!

Probably one of the very best parts of doing craft shows is getting to see all of our crafty comrades.   Here are some of our long-time friends who have online shops.  Please visit them and check out their amazing wares.

Bye for now!  But don’t worry, we’ll be back in a few weeks.  We’re off to the east coast for some very exciting craft fairs!

First up - Art Star Craft Bazaar at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia, PA.  May 30th and 31st.

Then, off to Brooklyn, NY for the ever-awesome Renegade Craft Fair the following weekend, June 6th and 7th.

THEN!!!  We’re making a final stop in Indianapolis, IN for the Indieana Handicraft Exchange on June 13th.

Shopping cart will remain active, however shipping will resume in full on June 16th.  So keep in mind that we will NOT be able to ship until June 16th, 2009.  Thanks for your understanding!  And if you are in Philly, BKLN or Indy, come and say hi!

The other night, Matt was looking at some website and I saw this little ad on there for this new boxy car of cuteness!  It is the Nissan CUBE and it’s SO CUTE!  I just love it.  I posted it straight away on my Facebook status update as: I want.  It’s something that looks like it is meant for Lowly Worm to ride around in.  And if it is good enough for El Dub, then it is good enough for me.  So today, we went and peeped it in person during the 965th showing of our unsellable house!

The verdict?  Very cute, funky interior and decent price tag.  BUT, pretty small cup holders (though there are lots of them (???)) and A/C is not standard!  WHUT?  A/C not being standard is rude, crude and socially unacceptable in my book.  Isn’t it inhumane?  I think so.

So we also peeped the Kia Soul.  Yes, the one with the hamsters jammin’ out whilst driving about town in it.  Have you seen it?

And?  I *LOVE* it!  It has HOUNDSTOOTH fabric!!  So cute and classy, built in Sirius satellite radio and of course iPod hookups.  And I could just picture us in it, our little family that we don’t have yet.  I could almost see little cheerios all over the floor in the backseat!  And sippy cups!  It was weird.  Matt has this THING for black vehics or CHOCOLATE brown ones, (he loves chocolate, so this makes sense) but I prefer blues or greens typically, but my fav for the Soul is DUNE.  It’s like buttercream icing color (which I love, so it makes sense for me, right?!) but not metallic, so it is somehow super classy looking.  Plus HOUNDSTOOTH!?  Come on!  Where else are ya gonna get that??

But it’s not like we’re getting a new car right away.  We have been thinking of trading in the Element.  We love the Element, it is absolutely the perfect craft show car.  Just drive up to Renegade and see how many other crafters pull up in one!  TONS, I tell ya, TONS!

Hey, there’s nothing wrong with being a squirrel or tryin’ to get your own nut.  I think it’s way worse if you sit around waiting for the nuts to come to you!  Therefore, in honor of those furry little mongrels that zip up your tree and in front of your ride in some serious attempt to *not starve* - we’re doing a crazy special promotional type of thing.   The nut we want?  More people to check us out.  The nut we have to give?  POTENTIAL FREE STUFF, yo!  Check out the details below:

Oh yes, it is that time of the year again, when Cupid starts contemplating dustin’ off those wings of his to make some merry.  With your heart!  Well, since we don’t have wings and we’re tired of Cupid one-upping us, we’re gonna give him a run for his money this year.

So let’s take a moment and think of all the gals in your life that would just love to carry around a little reminder of your love for them every day.  It really takes sweetness to an HNL.  (MadTV fans, you know what I’m talkin’ about.)

Today marks the first day of a new era for the good old USA.  And just like on Election Night, we so wish we could be there to celebrate with all of you out there, but since it is theoretically impossible, we can extend a little hug via a FREE GIFT!

We all love our pets.  What would we do without our little furry or feathered friends?  Well, we’d save more money, scoop less litter and have fewer little bowls of water and ‘food’ on the floors.  But we’d be lonesome for that unspoken bond that you just can’t find anywhere else.  As much as you love your significant o, or your BFF, you know they’re gonna have all kinds of opinions about what you’ve got going on.  A dog just won’t.  A cat won’t give a poot.  And that’s why they rule!

Please to enjoy our Animals In Crowns Series of products!  We’re adding more breeds and species soon, so if you don’t see your little awesome-o represented, let us know!  We want to make something special to give a shout out to your own little hombre.

Available as mirrors, mouse pads, keychains (soon!) and coasters!  Click the Boston Terrier below to find your favorite fella now!
