my love for you is a stampede of horses.

clare von cupcake.

clare von cupcake has a whole ton of art up and ready for your viewing pleasure tomorrow night at brown bear in sf.  i love clare's 'good luck' pieces a whole lot.  and her feathers.  and her cars.  you can see all of the work she's been working real hard on at her flickr page.  clare's a real card, she's got a great sense of humor.  i love her captions on her photos and the way she writes in her blog.  she not only talks about art she's working on but her beautiful bicycle's rack and other such lovely things like her drawings of jemaine from flight of the conchords.  sigh.  clare is also a fellow speaker of abbrevenese (lol, totes, jk, etc).  she actually rocks an lol tattoo.  (which makes me kind of love her.)

living by the river denial in style.

i shake my fists at you mother nature!  as i type this, a big ol' storm is snowing on down all around new england all over our little heads.  i'm over it.  so this is what i say...i will spend money to make me feel excited about spring and fill that spring sized hole in my soul.  my sister says i am one of those naive new englanders.  i'm fine w/ that.  i'll live by the river denial in these cute little swedish clogs by august fifteenth.  which by the by is a really beautifully classic line form japan. i bought them from one of my favorite stores in boston, pod.  the clogs are only available in the shop.

ZING zine: mike perry.

just got a copy of mike perry's latest zine, ZING, in the mail.  it's great!  i love how big and colorful it is.  i swear, sometimes i spend so much time on the world wide intra webs it's a real delight to hold something so colorful in my hands.  i'm having a hard time not ripping out the illustrations of the skulls and putting them on my walls.  there are only a 100 zines made...and i'm more than positive there are way less than that now.  go get yourself one.  you deserve  it.

tiny showcase & doorbell pins from amy ruppel.

doorbell?  a doorbell.  adorable!  yes, i love to mess w/ the english language as much as possible.  don't you know i am completely fluent in abbrevenese?  i totes am!  well, adorable is the one word that came to mind when i saw these pins by amy ruppel for tiny showcase.  doorbell.  so cute, i can't stand it.  if you know what's good for you and your wardrobe and just over all cache, you'll hit 'purchase'.  you totes will.

LOVE.

i recently saw some buttons blogged about on boing boing at slevin11's etsy site which i think are pretty great.  so i checked out his store, it appears that hundreds perhaps thousands of us checked out his store due to his shop announcement!  anyhoo, i have to have the LOVE buttons above.  they are so great, a must have for my navy toggle coat, just in case you need to know the deets.  check out slevin11's other buttons.  the yellow eyesore origami are pretty sweet as well, i think they're cute.  i think dylan the shop owner may need some coffee or something, or an extra set of hands.
