sourpuss kitty

Aren't these the cutest earrings? I love little stud earrings. (I'm ignoring the fact that the cat has a sourpuss face. I don't even know how you go about making a cat look happy.)

Before last month, I could probably count the number of times I've worn earrings in the last 8 years on both of my hands. Seriously, I never wore earrings; they always bothered my ears (it may have had something to do with the fact that I never wore them!). For some reason, I've started to wear them again recently—but only studs, never dangling or drop earrings. (That's not normal, I know). Anyway, I feel grown up when I wear earrings. Although maybe not if they were cat earrings...

my grandmom would have totally rocked these sneaks

No explanation needed for these canvas sneakers from The Bradford Exchange.

dog as cargo

Finally, people are thinking about big dogs! At least in my mind that is the only reason why the Madsen Cycles kg271/Bucket model bike would exist. It has a 40 gallon passenger bucket—big enough to haul around a 100 lb. chocolate lab! Okay, they didn't specifically say that, but they do show people toting around large dogs and up to 4 kids (there are seat belts)! If there was even a chance that Fletcher would stay in the bucket, I would figure out how to come up with the $1,650 for the bike in yellow. (The pink version is only $1,350 but I despise the color pink and I don't think Fletcher would approve either.)

I wonder how easy it is to get up a hill with a 100 lbs. of cargo...

it's vintage (aka awesome!)

Who on earth would buy this dog tin? This girl, that's who! I like it—in a this will sure to be a conversation starter if sitting on my coffee table—kind of way. Of course, I couldn't really put it on the coffee table because the dog would probably knock it off or the cats would chew it. Before you know it, the Scottie would be missing an ear. It's like one of those awesome old treasures that you find hidden in your grandparents' basements or the back of closets. The website says it's vintage. I wonder how vintage—like 1940s vintage or 1970s vintage?

But for $135, it isn't going to happen. Sigh. I guess it's not meant to be.

there's no shame in loving cats

Seriously contemplating buying this shirt for the boyfriend.

Now, if he'll wear it is undetermined...
