Tonite, I am not mature. Tonite I have had some wine. Tonite I decided to look for something completely unique yet outrageous. Tonite I think I found it! Tonite I found the Plush Warfare Boob Slingshot. Tonite you can get yours for $28 at Plush Team (created by Abby Did). Tonite you can buy me one and we can lob plush boobs at one another.
I don't like most candles. They are often too perfumey, flowery, or synthetic scented. This one is funny though, it is pizza scented! It would go great with the beer candle. The bad thing is that you'll have to wait a while for this delivery. They are out of stock but should be available in the fall. $5.95 at Hotwicks.
This ketchup bottle cap is so goofy just the picture cracks me up. I'd probably get hysterical if it was actually sitting on my picnic table. It's not the sparkly Twilight style of vampire but it sure is a lot more fun! $3.99 at Perpetual Kid.
I am of two minds with this Ice Straw Tray. Part of me thinks it's a "cool", clever idea for those hot backyard barbecues. Ideal for sucking up frosty adult beverages and cold sodas alike. The other part of me shudders to think of my sensitive teeth touching a straw made out of ice. The decision is yours. $9.95 at Amazon.
I don't even have to convert this funky shelving unit from pounds to dollars to know it is ridiculously expensive. But what a conversation starter it would be! And for the record, it is a limited, numbered edition, so you are buying art and exclusivity. But you are also getting white gloves to wear while assembling it so you don't scuff the surface. Not the the typical rare bird, but a pretty amazing one. £1350 at Pedlars.
Know someone you'd like to make a, ahem, movie with? This super cool, 14" x 14" limited-edition letterpress print is printed by hand and features an original 3-color linocut. $20 at Roll&TumblePress
This wall art of a soft-sculpture birdie and an embroidered hoop that reads, "Hello," is just too darn adorable. What a cute way to liven up a bare wall! $50 at Melissa Sue
Ah, another Renegade Craft Fair find. My friend totally bought up at this shop. I love that this silver pendant is cast from real bubble wrap. Too cool! The shop carries a variety of jewelry that is made from bubble wrap, so check it out. The heart necklace is one of my faves. $78 at My Friend Roze
I saw this pillow on the front page of Etsy yesterday and squealed. I'm a Poe fan and I just adore this handmade pillow. Looks just like him - fabulous! $42.50 at Regan's Brain
Omg, I love many of the story posters by Mr. Oblivious. Each poster tells a story through pictures and while there are a whole variety of wonderful ones to choose from, my favorite one is Frank and the Mermaid. It tells the story of Frankenstein falling in love with a mermaid (you can see the entire poster in detail here). Check out Mr. Oblivious' shop on Etsy, and if you don't see the story poster you want, just convo the artist. $10 at Mr. Oblivious
What better way to liven up a kitchen fridge or your work space than with these organ-part magnets? Includes a happy and smiling brain, heart, femur, lung, and stomach images that actually look pretty cute. $10 at Whale and Bee
I love these cute little cards. They are water-colored by hand and tells your loved one how much you really love them - whether it's as much as you love avocado, chips and queso, salsa or even dim sum. Another fun find from yesterday's Renegade craft fair. $5.50 at Ucello Curioso
Right now we all hate BP for the oil spill in the gulf. Warning signs out the whazoo, yet greed took over common sense. I love this BP Emergency Planning T-Shirt! Doesn't it just say it all about their abilities! $12 at New Approach.
I am going to say something here that enrage typography fans everywhere. I don't care about Helvetica. Sure, it's a fine font and all, but it doesn't move me. This Helbotica Poster, however...that moves me alot. Building a cute robot of fonts moves me a lot. It's an awesome poster, and I am glad that there is also Futurabot and Akzidenz-Groteskbo to go with it. (How about some serif bots, though?) $20 at Invdr.
I love these combat-boot style rain boots. Perfect for those with a bit of a tougher yet stylish edge. $49.95 at Signals
This art print cracks me up. The perfect print for you cat owners whose cats rule the house. $15 at 3Crows
Who doesn't need a stamp set of sizzling bacon strips? A meaty way to accessorize all your personal correspondences. $10 at Sugarskull7's Handcarved Stamps & Fine Art
DIY yourself (is that redundant?) a cup of coffee with this cool duct tape mug. Don't worry, it's actually ceramic and it will hold coffee without patching. I think this might make a good gift for your favorite handy man (or person) but it's also a pretty funny gift for those of us who would really prefer to just tape it back together and move on...$12.99 at Think Geek.
Love this eyeglass case in the style of the old X-Ray Specs ads found in the back of old comics. Perfect for the comic collector in your life. And great storage for glasses, sunglasses, or odds and ends. $30 at Unica Home.
Mmm..I love down-home cooking, especially when it comes to desserts. This book, Sweets: Soul Food Desserts and Memories
I adore this sterling silver nifty narwhal necklace. Imagine how cute it would look on you! Oh but be sure to look at this equally adorable happy sloth necklace...swoon. $42 at MaryMary Handmade
Oh I love these paper woodland puppets set on wire. They have a gold crown (or gold bow tie) and look very regal. I probably would just stick mine in a potted plant or somewhere where a little humor is necessary. $8 each at at Royal Buffet

How many times do you go into a public stall that is completely out of toilet seat covers? This little tin carries a stash of four emergency covers so you're never left crouching or lining the seat with toilet paper. $3.95 at Archie McPhee
When I became a Stay At Home Mom, I discovered something.....solicitors. Yes, they came to my house everyday until I had to print out something and stick it on my door. Now that I've moved, they are slowly making their way back UGGGHH. I also realize that you really need a sign that sticks out, just like this "No solicitors" copper sign from Atlas Signs. It's classy, not too rude and really stands out. $69 plus you can pick out your metal finish and type style.
This sage based natural perfume sounds like it could be a manly scent. It's referred to as 'incense themed" and having fire and water elementals mixed with fresh herbs. It's all natural, beeswax based and I love that little stamped wax bee on the top! $25 at Roxana Illuminated Perfume.
I like the simplicity of this Sean Connery as James Bond postcard. It's not heavily detailed but I think it certainly evokes the character. It would look great in a little frame and other Bonds are available as well. $2.50 per card at lilimandrill.
For that guy who isn't a real zombie until he gets his morning coffee...here's a little friend he can hang with, so you don't have to talk to him until he perks up a bit (perks up...get it?). A disturbing yet cute little zombie coffee mug for the days when you just feel undead. And if he's not a coffee drinker, there's a zombie tea bag and a zombie carrot available too! $13 at Shevon + Nacho.
Ohh, I love this retro-looking mini goals clockboard. It's an ingenious mix of clock and chalkboard that'll dress up any office with a dash of personality while keeping you organized about your day's appointments. Comes in a variety of colors, too! $49.75at Mary Kate McDevitt

Today I had to take the boys grocery shopping for school lunch stuff and breakfast stuff. There's always the begging and fighting for Pop Tarts. So, I dedicate this post to my boys. Here's this adorable Pop Tart Toaster Necklace! Only $14.50 at Penelope's Porch.

Sometimes I feel like I'm battling my oven - all that heat and hot surfaces. I have battle (burn) scars. The Food Fighter oven mitt set is perfect for those of us who'd like to take on our ovens and look like a winner - who can look tough with a daisy-patterned mitt? Plus, what man would feel embarrassed putting these on to take that hot casserole out of the oven? $16.99 at Perpetual Kid
Rhinoplasty or nose jobs were revolutionized in the 1800's. There is also some evidence that the ancient Egyptians practiced reconstructive nasal surgery on injured patients. Celebrate the nose job with these bizarre rhinoplasty earrings. $10 at Film Shirley's shop.
This creepy case can hold business cards, i.d., cigarettes, money, or even an ipod nano with headphones. $9.99 at SweetHeartSinner Creations.

While this is definitely not a new product, Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific shampoo and conditioner is certainly hard to find. The product was discontinued in the 80's but has luckily since returned. With every shower, enjoy the glorious, nostalgic scent that will sweep you back to the hot disco days of the '70's. $14.95 at The Vermont Country Store
Here's an ad to show you how well-liked by the boys this shampoo will make ya:
Ok, so I haven't watched the show. But, with all the hype I know I'll have to..so I did a lil search for "Glee" and found this oh so cute Gleek bracelet. Nice little copper stamped piece with the "Gleek" on it with a star and microphone charm. A real bargain too, only $6.95 at Suzy and Leo.
This awesome Luchador messenger bag is super affordable and eco-friendly. It's made from repurposed mesh shopping bags so...it's airy for summer, I guess. Still, it's really cool looking and a nice size for toting stuff to the beach or office. $20 at Things Built.
Serve your bacon on...bacon. It's a little confusing, but this ceramic platter sure will look stunning on your buffet. And it's even got "slightly sloping sides" so the grease collects in the bottom of the platter. That, my friends, is thoughtful design. $19.50 at Archie McPhee.
