Dogs' Expressive Eyes

Just a quick laugh for you.  Apparently this is a new trend- although I don't see it having much staying power.  Human eyebrows for dogs- obviously for their owners' amusement.  Although I do think this dog used a bit too much eyeliner.

I have to admit, when I make Schnauzers as glass beads or sculptures, I do love accentuating their wonderful natural brows.  But if I had a dog, perhaps I would dress it in a funny costume once a year for a few minutes, but I personally wouldn't do the brows.  Heck, I have a hard enough time with my own.

Functional Jewelry

Look closely.  This bangle by designer Cynthia Rowley is also a flask.  When I checked, they were out of stock, but you can stalk them here.

Zeus and I Are Almost Famous PLUS Learn About Facebook's New Search Coming Soon

Tim Adam of Handmadeology recorded a video about the new Facebook Graph Search that will be debuting soon.  He showed some of the new search functions.

Well as I was watching to learn about it, I saw my cat Zeus and I  appear under one of the functions.  And there is another photo too.  So while you are learning about the new search (HERE), look for us starting at about 1:50 through 2:08 -ish.  Zeus is waiting for his big break as an internet sensation, but I told him that he has to do more than sleep and look good.  And he isn't up to learning any cool tricks.

Enjoy the video and see what's new for Facebook.  Thanks to Tim Adam and his wonderful sharing of information.

See you tomorrow!

Entertainment for the Entertainer

I saw this corkscrew in the Atlanta High Museum gift shop.  Museums are often a great place to find the out of the ordinary gifts.  This one is very reasonably priced, $28.  And you can find it here.

(Don't you just love how his boney arms rise for opening it?)  You might consider pairing it with THIS WINE.

See you tomorrow!

Pretzel Logic

I have to admit, if I had a pool, one of these would be in it.
Alexander Wang's pretzel inflatable is available through Urban Outfitters ($18-ish).

They have  a frosted donut float with sprinkles and a bite taken out of it too.  Love the whimsy.

Unicorn Hair...Chasing the Rainbow

I have to admit, the colorful dip dyed and pastel dyed hair has me intrigued.  I love the whimsy of the colors and combinations.

So when I learned that it is also called "unicorn hair", I had to pass it on.  Because well, most of you are closer to my age, and may not have someone filling you in on these important facts.

So if you were to do something like this to your hair, what color or colors would you choose?  I am pondering this.  It goes from an aqua/blue/purple combination to a pink/orange/purple style.  It's tempting.  Etsy has colorful hair extensions which would be the perfect way to try it out.  Just a few in colors to be convinced that I just might be too old for it, but it's fun to imagine.

See you tomorrow.

Get Toasted

Okay, I have to admit, I am easily entertained.  But this toaster could be kind of fun to have.  I mean, isn't there a saying about watching paint dry?  This is close- watching bread change color.

My first thought was that it looked like bread was in jail.  Doesn't it?  At least a bit?  And of course if I owned one, I'd be making small animals out of glass and photographing them so it looked like they were in a zoo.

Only problem is that the toaster is too pricey for my entertainment.  It is marked down from $350 to $210.  I think I'll just stick with my average performing 20 year old $30 model and imagine my glass animals instead.  See you Sunday!
