Little Things Number Six - Silly Stuff

Let's start off October with some silly stuff ... Little things that might make you grin.


When you need to actually send something via snail mail, here's a really cute postage stamp that should bring a smile to your face- and that of whoever receives your card or letter. This Humorous Blueberries Postage is by a very talented professional cartoonist and gag writer who works under the name of Swisstoons. You can find more of his work on Zazzle. This guy has some funny stuff- you should give it a look.  And yes- this is REAL postage, available in various sizes and denominations.

So, if Nero fiddled while Rome burned, what do you suppose would be happening while a Poodle played a tune on a violin? I guess that's for you to decide if you fall in love with this little Vintage White Spaghetti Poodle Mini Figurine Playing Violin. Now, isn't he just the cutest? And he's only three and a half inches high, from Katzzs Kloset.

With election time almost here, every body's thinking about who they want to send to the house or senate from their state, or maybe to the governor's mansion. But, what if you could elect your First Lady? Who would you vote for?
If it would be Miss Piggy, then here's your campaign button: It's a Miss Piggy for First Lady Pin, and it's one of Vinewood's Treasures.

How about a silly little key chain for cruisers or sailors? "Hey Captain! I wanna DRIVE!" keychain features a drawing of a ship's wheel... ... The key chain is available at CruiseReady on Zazzle , along with a selection of companion products.
For landlubbers who don't quite get the joke - most ships are guided by joysticks, not wheels these days. And the captain doesn't "drive" the ship - he "steers" her.

Little Things Number Four

There sure are lots of 'little things' that you can find to buy on the internet. Previously, I've published three Little Things posts, and I'm rather enjoying discovering so many items (some really useful, some just plain fun) that you can hold in the palm of your hand . So, I'm going to cotinue with little things for a while. Here we go!

First up today is a striking business card holder: The Lake River Scene Business Card Holder is from Blue Skies Gift Center, and tis one really catches your eye, doesn't it? It's silver-plated aluminum, andr measures 3 1/2" x 2 3/8". Designed to fit comfortably in a pocket, salon apron, or purse, it can hold up to 12 business cards. (photo above, left)

Next- Something that's both fun and useful for football memorabilia fans - a fancy 1990's 49ers 3' Tape Measure Key Chain , this a nice 49er item , 1 1/4" in diameter , chain is 2 1/4 " long , with a 3' tape. You can find this limited issue item at Sports Cards for All (photo above, right)

I discovered some very clever Dr. Seuss Gift Tags on facebook, and just had to share these. They are recycled from the pages of a story book, and come in a set of 12. What a nice finishing touch for a child's birthday, holiday, or anytime gift! They're made by Suzanne Medrano and ar priced very reasonably. (shown above, at left)

How about something little for your little one? At Top to Bottom Children's Store, you'll find bright orange Gymboree Savannah sunset Pony O hair accessories. The set of four includes two each in the flower and cat design. These are sure to make some little girl smile.

Funally, how about something little to hang - on yourself, that is! Pictured above are (left) Lanyards to hand around your neck for holding ID cards, and (right) Daddy's Girl earrings for hanging on your lobes. The lanyards are from my own Cruise Ready Store, and come in addition to the ones shown. The earrings are from Earring Stop, where you'll find all earrings all the time.
