Edward Cullen Life Size Twilight Silhouette

 

no. really.

see for yourself:

life size edward cullen silhouette

 

the blurb:

Let everyone know that you are a true Twilighter by giving Edward Cullen a home! Or you can keep him to yourself... put him on the back of your bedroom door so he can be intrigued while you sleep! He'll be keeping an eye out for any roving carnivorous vampires searching for a snack, while reminding you to "Be Safe".

take out the wall decal and it actually looks as though normal people could live in that bedroom, doesn't it?

or this:

one 5 ounce Bella Bomb

the blurb: 

 

"Bella closed her eyes and slowly laid back in the tub, her red hair cascading around her shoulders, as her mind filled with thoughts of Edward ...

The Bella Bomb is an energizing, mysterious and powerfully seductive scent."

 

amazing.

we learn that if you put something with a Twilight book in the background, it instantly becomes Twilightised.

genius.

Twilightised is a real word.

 

ewww!

anatomical heart soap

nothing says romance like:

the blurb:

"Lay them side by side over your bed to show your eternal love. These also make a fab housewarming gift or wedding pressie..."

ok, i will admit it.
i DO quite fancy flouncing about in this dress and cape get-up.
who wouldn't ?!


you are my life now.
poetry.
poetry  and art IN A SHOE.
beautiful.

don't say i don't give you lot nuffin.

we'll be getting in our Xmas things at work next week.
yes, we're almost at that time of year again.
i've had customers who've completely finished all of their shopping already!
do you think that takes the joy out of it?
being done so early?
i'm quite the LastMinute sort of person really.

although
come back to me a week or two into the XmasRetailChaos
and i might have a different opinion.

i've been having a browse at the sorts of things on offer.

i know i'd write more if i had these cards.
i'm nearly almost certain of it.

i must have a thing for brown paper.


this card comes with a warning that made me laugh

"If you are offended by this, please don't write to me. I am a nice person and if I go to hell, that is totally my problem."

as if i didn't have enough things on my wish list
Tim has sent me through a timely heads-up to run over and look at these:

remember back in the olden days when you had to cover your school books in brown paper? gosh, those were the days, weren't they? it was almost the best part of the school year for me. fold - smooth - glue in one almost-continuous movement. i get the same feeling from wrapping gifts. my mind switches off and my hands almost seem to find their own way.

anyway...

you need never feel shame for reading your Barbara Cartland in public again. just whack on one of these dust jackets and voila! you get instant street book cred.

genius.

why do you torture me so, Tim?
why?

the weather is just glorious today. i've been up early dashing about getting organised, a whirlwind of domestic bliss! the doors are wide open and the sounds of the garden drift through the house, carried on a gentle balmy breeze.

there is work later, much later
but for now?
i'm admiring the many beautiful things on etsy.
here are a few i found just now that filled me with such admiration and longing, aren't they beautiful? how wonderful to be the creator of such loveliness!

not mine unfortunately.
perhaps in some other reality?

i have itchy fingers.
fingers that are twitching to make some changes to my own little space. to make more of a mark. i guess that's why i'm looking at all of the beautiful poster art lately. i also have 3 canvases under my stair cupboard, right near to that bedside table and every time i go to that cupboard they glare at me with their white pristine nakedness. a glare that says "but you bought us MONTHS ago!(you lazy cow)"

at least i think that's what they say.
they also say -
"you better not ruin our pristine whiteness with some kind of naff painting." and that is mostly why i don't dare touch them.

where was i going with this whole post?
oh yes
more fun things i've tripped over on my interwebs travels.

they do though, don't they?
make people happy that is.
possibly not diabetics though
or people with cupcake allergies.
