Ada Little Bear by Sarah deGrandis. I love this little guy. I’m a big fan of any stuffed animal that sports a look of confusion rather than joy, as I spent most of my childhood confused by everything around me.

I really love these paintings by Rebecca Artemisa. I’m a sucker for wood textured anything. And masked ghost spirit astral projection… things.  You can buy prints of the top image from her Etsy shop.

Let me make this clear: it is okay for men to wear brooches. I picked up two very reasonably priced brooches from Oh My Cavalier a few weeks ago and they’ve worked their way into my everyday ensemble. I was worried at first because the word “brooch” doesn not exactly carry a masculine connotation. I’ve come to realize that they’re wonderful, and I’ve since gotten a lot of compliments on them.

In addition to what’s displayed above, I also have a lovely Banjo Bear brooch attached to my winter coat. Serious street cred.

(Did I mention I only wear suits now? Because I do, and it’s fantastic.)

Sometimes I freak out and buy stuff even though I don’t need stuff. Like these incredibly awesome handmade bowls from Fox & Clover. It’s my way of giving back to America.
