Kawaii Panda Cutie

On days like today, when bad news dominates the headlines, I think we all need to remember the good... In that spirit, this silly Panda bear playing guitar wishes you all a very happy, healthy and safe Hello There Cutie weekend!!!   xxxo

What Is Your Future Cutie?

Long before the Magic 8 Ball was the Pocket Fortune Teller by Alabe Crafts of Cincinnati. You asked a simple "yes" or "no" question and the answer would appear after shaking the container and tipping it over (answers float to the top). I've got a few things I'd like answered... how about you? xxxo

Yarn Bombing is Cutie

About a year ago, I noticed in Berkeley public spaces and objects being covered in brightly knitted yarn sweater. This art movement, Yarn Bombing, is now being touted as the hip form of urban vandalism worldwide. Referred to also as Grandma Graffiti, it is the guerilla crocheting of buildings, bike racks, stairs, statues, trees, lampposts and...? Super Cutie, right? xxxo

Pocahontas is a Cutie

Thank goodness for Urban Outfitters to bring us unusually cute stuff. This "tea for one" is a tea pot sweetly painted like our old friend Pocahontas, and comes with a matching tea cup, plus a tea strainer for inside the pot. Although I find the idea of decapitating and scalping Pocahontas for my tea a bit odd, she sure is a Cutie nonetheless!!! xxxo

Sugar is a Hello Kitty Cutie

Shocking but true Cuties... I don't know everything about Hello Kitty. Awhile ago I wrote about her pet Charmmy Kitty but I didn't know about Sugar! Given the name because of his color, Sugar was given to Hello Kitty the same time as Charmmy to keep them company. Sugar's a white hamster whose birthday is this Sunday, so lets all give a big Happy Birthday Cutie to this adorable hamster friend (seen above with Charmmy). xxxo

ha-choo Cuties

My Mom used to warn me not to work long hours for a long stretch as I'll get sick... boy do I miss her today. Am down with a flu, and not even this Cutie card from the 70s can make me feel better! I hope she brings you joy (plus good health) and lets give her (including that fab yarn hair) a big Hello There Cutie!!! xxxo

Cutie Furniture

The International Furniture Fair Singapore is going to be held this month from March 9 - 12. In previewing some of the exhibitors, I came across these Cutie-worthy chairs from 2L1Y. The 3 designers from this company have some fabulous designs (which you can find here) but these caught my eye: brightly coloured chairs & benches with planters and wonderfully rounded corners. I think we might need to go to Singapore to check these out Cuties... got your passport ready? xxxo

My Valentine Cuties

This year for Valentines Day I decided to surprise my brothers with some family photos I had secretly restored. This one is of my original four Valentines and me (the cutie in the front looking oh so serious!). Although loves have come & gone throughout the years, these four have have always been my special Valentines... and always will be. xxxo

this posting is for Elliot too!

Another Gung Hey Fat Choy Cutie

One of our longtime readers, Rob of Sacramento, sent us this sweet little bunny. How perf is she for our Year of the Rabbit celebration? And what a Cutie she is... we adore how she's holding that big bunch of flowers, and the look on her face that seems to say "wanna be my friend Cutie?" The answer is yes... and Gung Hey Fat Choy Cutie!!! xxxo

thx for the bunny Rob!

Cutie Baby Bunny-time

If we're going to celebrate Year of the Rabbit, we must feature an adorable baby bunny, right? This wee lop-eared one brings out the girly-girl in me in that I get all "awwww" looking at it. And with its sweet face, fuzzy body and floppy ears, isn't this one totally Hello There Cutie??? xxxo

Look Closely Cuties!

Of all the amazing images to have come out from the Queensland floods, this has to be the cutest... a wee green frog hitching a ride on the back of a brown snake! Armin Gerlach was visiting friends in a flood-hit town last week when he spotted the unlikely pair and snapped this pic. Isn't nature magical? (and darn Cutie!) xxxo

Cutie Foodie

News Years resolutions often include eating better and exercising more... mine include having an element of Cutie everyday! I don't quite know if I have the patience to make my meals as adorable as this plate from Japan, but will def try a bit. And best of luck with your 2011 resolutions too Cuties!!! xxxo

Happy New Year Cuties

We hope your celebrations are safe, a friend (hopefully clothed!) is there to hand you an umbrella, and the New Year ahead brings you much happiness... and Cutie-ness!!! Hello There 2011 Cuties! xxxo

Cutemaskah Stocking Time

Now don't forget to hang your stockings with care tonite Cuties... Santa also drops presents for those of us who celebrate Cutemaskah! And if you don't have one, just do what this little Cutie did: take one off your foot and use that instead (I do wonder what happened to her knickers tho).

Your friends here at Hello There Cutie hope Santa fills your stocking with lots of treats, love and surprises tonite. xxxo

Cutemaskah Hi-dee-ho Cutie

Each holiday season in anticipation of Christmas I watch the first South Park holiday special. The star of this is Mr Hankey, the Christmas poo who appears to all who have a high fiber diet to give them presents. And poo kisses. Add in that he's a Cutie, we give Mr. Hankey a big Cutemaskah hello!!! xxxo

Another Cutemaskah Cutie

This is Wilma, who is def a Cutemaskah Cutie! She was found on Etsy, and we adore so much about her it's hard to find a place to start. From her sweetie face to silly antlers that remind me of Max (the Grinch's dog), I think we can all agree on one thing: Wilma is def a Cutemaskah Cutie. Hello There Cutie!!! xxxo

I'm Back Cuties!!!

I'm flying back into SFO today and sure wish this place was still there! Circa 1961, the Pancake Palace was (per the text on the back of this postcard):
"... located at San Francisco International Airport, in a regal early San Francisco setting. Pancake is King! Fourteen varieties of the finest pancakes in the world."
Both looks and sounds soooo cutie!!! xxxo

Cutemaskah Hanukkah Cuties

This is a vintage Israeli poster from the Jewish National Fund that was done in 1960 to commemorate Hanukkah. The two very cutie Eretz Israeli children are together with a menorah, perhaps to light on this last nite of Hanukkah (and the 9th of Cutemaskah). As an fyi, you're going to need some more candles Cuties!!! xxxo

Hanukkah + Cutemaskah = Cutie!

Happy Hanukkah Cuties! May your dreidels only spin winners so you get lotsa gelt candy, and fabulous gifts await you with each nights candle. Oh, and hope you're as mellow about that dreidel as this kitty is. xxxo

Kitty card can be found on Etsy

Cutie Art Project

Maps are cool. As are envelopes with pretty liners... put the two together and voila! The artist Beste Miray likes to make the everyday into art, and here's a great example. Go to this website, enter your address + message, print out and you too have made a custom envelope liner. Cool and v. Cutie indeed. xxxo
