Footsie Cutie

One of my girlfriend's texted me the cutest photo of her baby: he has discovered grabbing his feet is fun. When I saw this sweet pamphlet called "Proper Care of Babys Feet" from 1955, I pondered getting it for them... but the Cuties on the cover distracted me too much. Awww... Hello There Cuties! xxxo

Poodle Planter Cuties

One of my plants has outgrown its home, so I was looking about for a solution... and voila! This poodle and pup is too cute for words, and I esp. adore her collar with blue inset. Add in that it's a Mom and daughter (a soft spot for me) I thinks it's a Hello There Cutie winner for my home!!! xxxo

Paul Smith Cutie-ness

Every designer I know has, at one time or another, carried a Rhodia notepad. The fab British clothing guru Paul Smith has carried one for years and designed a series of covers for them.

My Grandma Helen used to have a philosophy about stocks that went like this "Buy what you like." Simple enough, right? Well, following in her steps I own a tiny bit of stock in Coca Cola. Why? Because it's the only thing that calms my tummy when upset, so I want to support it. And they have beyond Cutie packaging like this!!! xxxo

In looking around for trends (gotta know 'em) I often get side-lined by things that catch my eye. Then if there's a Cutie angle, watch out!!! That's how I found Spoonflower, a company that makes custom fabrics! I looked around for ideas and found these adorable kids playing in a field with their gardening (and garden) friends... Hello There Cutie! xxxo

Drumming Cuties

Some (including my Daddy) have claimed Buddy Rich was the best jazz drummer of all time. He certainly dumbfounds Animal when he goes head to head with the monster in a drum battle on this classic Muppet Show segment. Two drummers my Daddy liked makes this very Hello There Cutie! xxxo

Wrigley Cuties

These Cuties are can be found in the oldest working streetcar in SF and is the original ad from the 1800's! I never thought of the doublemint twins as being sticks of gum with smiling moon faces, legs and adorable hats. Makes me want to not chew one ever again... sorry Cutie gum! xxxo

Recovery Kit Cutie

I adore the brand Knock Knock and their multitude of whimsical (and sassy!) products. I have a few friends who would def adore this wee tin box! In addition to containing a tongue-in-cheek remedy booklet, affirmation cards, healing bandages, recovery certificate, and metal charm, it has a fabulous silicone bracelet that reads "Burnt Out" on it. Funny and cutie! xxxo

Day of the Dead Cutie

Today is Day of the Dead, and this Cutie take on the art for it is by the Canadian illustrator Christina Patterson. Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) is a gathering to pray for/remember friends and family members who are no longer with us in parades, at shrines or even alone. If there is a celebration in your town, I highly recommend going. xxxo
