Friday Finds: Possums! Possums are cute.

Sometimes there are things that you want to be IN so hard, but can't really explain why. For me, that is possums. I'm not into them the way I was apparently into cats when I was younger (so no, I'm not interested in a possum bedspread, possum pillows, possum paintings and/or storage boxes).

I just appreciate when they pop up places, because I think they're under-appreciated for their cuteness possibilities.
I mean, look at this:


First we have an adorable Possum Family Print from acageybee on etsy:


Then! A scarf called the Persy the Opossum Scarf from SillyHill:


And yet another adorable mini print Berry Nice Poss from possandwom:


And in fashion, here is some new jewelry I got from H&M featuring possums:


(some people think they resemble foxes, but they're totally possums)

And I'm not just relying on strangers to help turn around the possum's cuteness status - Here's my little stuffed "Possumfoolery", my contribution to the battle of possum cuteness.


Hopefully, I've touched all you non-believers and you realize the adorable potential of the humble possum.

Friday Finds: Wishing for Summer

I think all of us are a bit tired of Winter. I'm ready for flowers and sunshine and all of that summer stuff! Here are some ways of surrounding yourself with summer even during the dreariest times.

johnwgolden's lovely print of "Enlightened Fireflies" reminds me so much of chasing around fireflies as a kid.

Summer is a time of cute and comfortable skirts for me, and I absolutely love all the ones from Made with Love by Hannah - here's her sunniest skirt, the April Showers skirt.

I was never a Girl Scout, but I had a few badges from Girls in Action (a church-related group). I always wanted more, and now I can have them, thanks to leemeszaros I can try to add "being a sweetie pie" to my merit sash. (I may never earn this one).

Last, but not least, I love the custom decals available on etsy. Here are some cheery summer trees to brighten your wall (from artwallproject) so you can ignore the real weather.

Knowing me, I'll post wishing for snow in summer. For the moment, take a few, get warm, and let an imaginary summer whisk you away.

Friday Finds: Evil Queen from a Fairy Tale

I can't resist - this all started with the last item and then just kept building!

First off, you need a strange pet, like this Real Bat in a Victorian Cage by ravenofskys


Then a cool mask, to hide your wicked face, like this beautiful Black Leather Mask from teonova


Well, as long as we're getting dressed, let's add a huge tulle skirt like this Gothic Bridal Skirt from MTcoffinzUnderground


A fancy Feathered Shrug from lovechildboudoir


Let's not forget to add a Gothic Crown from EJPcreations


And, of course, the item that started it all, the Gothic Queen Steel Boned Neck Corset from fanplusfriend


Last, but not least, where would you be as The Evil Queen, if you didn't have a magical item that held sway over the kingdom, or maybe just over our hero's heart. That's why you'll definitely need something in a cage, and I adore this Caged Heart Necklace by edmdesigns as an item of obvious import and full of magical qualities!


Et voila! You too can be an evil queen!
