White paint splatters turn into a rainbow of colors when this umbrella is exposed to water. Fun in spring, or as a pick me up in the cold and dreary rain of winter. $38 at MoMAstore
Is there anything uglier than a fanny pack? Even the words f-a-n-n-y p-a-c-k give me the shivers! The only thing I am packing on there are remnants of calorie packed coffee drinks. Then I saw this "waist purse". I don't know if I have gone to the dark fanny pack side yet, but I kinda' like the bustle shape of these. My favorite is the gray one but this plaid one is quite festive. $35 at Kinies and 15% off through Nov 30.
I have a soap obsession. Several soap pumps line my cabinet. Bars wait in baskets under the sink. This Soap Opera soap set by Pop ink tickled my fancy. I like the retro images and their mix of squeaky clean and something very very dirty. $18.95 for a 4 bar verbena/lavender set at BUST Boobtique.
I love this cute little garlic shape vintage vase. It would be cute as a Halloween decoration or for flowers and buds in the spring. $28 at Good Eye Vintage.

I love this punchy little skirt. It comes with a hot pink fabric marker to fill in the squares. My middle schooler has been bitten by the Twilight bug and said she would put something about vampires. Ah...but of course. $37 at C.A.B. Fayre
These chocolate covered potato chips look yummy! Unfortunately, I am allergic to chocolate so I'll just have to stick with my homemade carob brownies. For those of you lucky enough to enjoy these, they are $19.90 at Candy Warehouse.

One of my kids' favorite restaurants was an old country diner that featured a balloon animal artist. He made all kinds of fantastical things, including a balloon dog like this one. $18 at Roscata
There was a Mocking bird outside of our tent this morning. It carried on in for several minutes, trying out tons of bird calls. It reminded me of the windup bird in the fairy tale The Nightingale. Or maybe this mechanical looking bird. It doesn't speak but would look nice as a unique decoration.$50 at Monster Kookies
I am camping right now and the (very loud) birds wake me up at dawn every morning! These birds are night birds apparently. I love their little beady alien eyes. $125 at Patti Backer
