Sunny Side Up

This 1937 invention of the Chelsea Baby Club Of London, designed to free up time for nannies by sparing them the exhaustion of taking high rise/tenement tots for a stroll in the park, didn't quite catch on...


...and I'm sure the baby-sized opening between the cage edge and the window ledge is simply an optical illusion caused by poor photography, and not the reason for it's failure.

A Tale Of Two Turtles

A modified Philadelphia trash can logo I took a crapola cell pic of months ago, and a nail set James St. James posted earlier today on worldofwonder.net

Matron's Day Out

A new character design for a summer tee, making her work in progress first appearance as a notecard.

Gingerbrood

There is no cure for ginger amour.

The Splintered Priestess

Another gift from my friend Daniel Kay Wilbur, proprietor of Wilbur Vintage (Philly's finest vintage/designer clothing & jewelry shop); I popped in to visit one afternoon and saw this 2' high carved priestess in a batch of stuff he'd purchased that day.
It was love at first site, and she now stands guard next to my bed while I sleep at night.

Japean Delights!

Of my many lovely birthday prezzies this year, these came as a surprise as they arrived in the mail today from Pittsburg - anyone who know me knows my weakness form asian cuteness in all forms, so I can't thank Sara P. enough for these treasures (Korean wedding dolls & 1950's Japanese kokeshi/nesting dolls)!

The keyholder, front and center, was a gift from Daniel Kay Wilbur.

Sheikha Chic

I just ran across a photo of this woman yesterday, and am now utterly obsessed: Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned of Quatar, the second of the Emir's three wives, and the most politically active.

I can't get enough of her style, grace and composure, and am, of course, weak for turbans!

Who Knew A Crypt Keeper Could Die?

While she's no Rose Kennedy, Eunice Kennedy Shriver has been hospitalized in critical condition.


A rare survivors of Bing Crosby Syndrome (going from sixteen to sixty quicker than a birthday candle blows out), she's one of my favorite eccentric skullsicles, and I wish her well.

The Ballad Of Barn Owl Bill

I love, what appears to be, the huge scar running down the side of Barn Owl Bills face, from when this aristocratic bird decided it was tired of being handled by a déclassé third generation inbred hillbilly sasquatch...


...with bad hair.
