Hello Dolly!

We have talked before about my love of tiny things right. Over Thanksgiving I even spent some time reminiscing with my Aunt Jane about the trip we took to Chicago when I was 9 or 10 and how in love I was with the Colleen Moore Fairy Castle at the Museum of Science and Industry. I think that I even had a coloring book depicting the castle, gosh I have got to get back to Chicago soon my list of things to do there just keeps getting longer and longer. Anyway back to the post at hand it should come as little surprise to you that I was smitten from he get go with these dolls from DangerCat Dolls.

It is things like this that make etsy such a fantastic thing. The artist of these little cuties has taken some greatly loved TV characters and turned them into something lots of grown-up girls would like to play with. They sure make me want to spend a cold winter afternoon hanging out in my bedroom playing with dolls, how about you?

From top to bottom; The Pie Hole gang from Pushing Daisies, Emma from Glee and Mad Men's: Roger, Betty, Don, Joan and Peggy.

I really love this video and song. I think about it every winter when the days get short and cold and I get a little meaner. So this year I'm going to try and keep a warm heart even when I have cold hands!

P.S. I know that both the song and video are kinda sad, but aren't those little depressed stick figures so cute. I think I fell in love with the video the same time I fell in love with the little depressed rock thing from those Zoloft ads. (My mother even got me a tape dispenser with his image on it for Christmas)

A small little industial row

Here is the thing I love tiny little items. Who owns a set of mini pewter chairs? That would be me. How about a collection of itty bitty marble elephants, yep this girl. So I of course instantly fell in love with these mini factory sculptures from PearsonMaron.

If I didn't already have a soft spot for miniatures, I think I would have fallen in love with the whimsical idea of these tiny factories manufacturing love, luck and innovation.

Ideas do keep us moving a long don't they.

Cuteness is blooming here!

(I was going to make a joke about being able to say "I make love for a living", but that doesn't seem like the kinda thing you would find on my blog does it.)

As if I didn't already have slight balloon obsession, this would put me over the edge!

I have just the place for these little guys. Maybe I should do some little Christmas shopping for me!

(Did you notice all the exclamation marks? See what major cuteness does to me!!!)
