Happy First Day of Spring + felt boards!

I hope you all have a lovely spring equinox. It rained in the afternoon where I am but the sunset was beautiful! I took the opportunity to take a walk around the property. My ears still got nippy but spring is for sure in the air!

St. Patrick's Day random post

Hello, I complete forgot today was St. Patrick's Day and didn't wear a lick of green. Oh, well, at least I didn't get pinched. Here's a collection of St. Patrick's Day cuteness to make you feel festive.

Moonstruck Country Critter animal tuffles

Chocolate truffles shaped like cute barnyard animals! I'm a big sample sale site girl although aside from  the Hello Kitty and Disney stuff that shows up from time to time they aren't exactly treasure chests of cuteness. However Rue-La-La has an Easter basket selection full of treats that I want to eat but shouldn't (GI issues. Chooclate = pain) and this was one of them.

I'm not sure if the chocolate is any good. However considering they're almost too cute to eat I'm not sure how much that matters.

Get them here for $27.90 for 6.  (This is an invite link. You have to be a member to buy from Rue-La-La.)

Cupcake bandages

The power of cuteness heals all wounds! 

Cupcake bandages are way cuter than the bacon bandages all your friends are sporting. Wouldn't you rather have sweet, sugary cuteness on your cuts and scrapes than bits of dead pig?

Get them here for $6.14.

Cute Site~Orisinal

Orisinal is game site by artist Ferry Halim. It contains a large collection of simple (but entertaining) flash games with cute animals in muted colors. A perfect site to visit when you're bored on a Saturday afternoon. The screencap above is from a the game Monkeyslide which very simple but completely addictive.

Also scroll down to the miscellaneous section and send someone a (digitally) hand-picked bouquet of flowers!

SPÖKA lamp

These majorly adorable night lights are from IKEA (as you might of guessed by the name). They're round, and they have ears and faces which are, like, two of the major rules for making anything cute. Plus they apparently change colors when you press on their heads. The IKEA website says they're supposed to be ghosts but I prefer to think of them as little, colorful mice.

Unfortunately, they're only available in stores (and on Ebay with a bit of a markup).

As for the lack of updates lately. I have some big things happeing in my real life that have been and will be taking up some of my time and energy. I still want to update this site. However, updates will be as time allows and may be a little sparse.

Spring Chick Cupcakes

I've had these little guys sitting around waiting to be posted for a while. Since it's nearing spring and Easter I thought now would be a good time. These are inverted cupcakes decorated with coconut and since the recipe is from Martha Stewart these are probably as tasty as they are taking. (Hmm...I think I might be pushing the alliteration a little far there.)

Get the recipe here.

Hansa Alpaca Plush

I think I need this. I think you need this too. This is seriously the cutest alpaca plush I've seen.

Get it here for $52.13.
