Toast Cuties



This campy little toaster cover is hand embroidered in vintage style by Needle-n-Me. As I use a 1950s toaster (it was my parents), this totally appeals to my toast aesthetic. And who wouldn't want to start their day buttering these smiling cuties??? xxxo

Strong Cutie



This cutie was made by Candian artist Christina Romeo... so much to adore about it!!! From the whimsical typography to the message (which speaks to me) to the wee lass in the silly hat, this wonderful ceramic tile should be in every Cutie home. Or at least mine! xxxo

Visit this link to see more of her work!

Glo Cutie

Glo Worm was a stuffed toy, sold by Playskool starting in 1982. The cutie's plush body contained a battery-powered device that, when squeezed, would light up the toy's vinyl face from within, creating a soft glow. Cute!

Worm-y Cuties



I was looking at the website for the UK store Bailey's (for inspiration, I shall claim) when I wandered into the Kids section. Imagine my delite when these wooden worms greeted me from the page! With their welcoming smiles, silly bodies and big eyes, we just gotta say Hello There Cuties!!! xxxo

Cute Kara

Superman's cute younger cousin Kara Zor-El appeared in the 6-issue comic book miniseries Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade.  In this series, Kara is a typical tween from Krypton's moon, Argo, who unintentionally ends up on Earth, taking the identity of 8th grader Linda Lee. The series has been collected into a trade paperback.

Cute Cell Phone

Yes - this cutie is actually a cell phone with camera and bluetooth from China. What will they think of next?

Wedded Bliss Cuties



I must admit I am confused. I always thought Hello Kitty was a little girl kitten... I just found out her and Dear Daniel are getting married. Do they allow child brides in Japan? Or are they perhaps playing "dress up"? And is that a yarmulke on his head? Whatever the answers, Congrats Cuties!!! xxxo

Another Cute Red Panda

 
A reader named "Danny from WeHo" doubted yesterday that the red panda exists, so to prove to him that this cute cuddly critter is real...just go to the Red Panda website and click on the cutie to enter.

Shroom Cutie



We love mushrooms, but super-duper-love cutie mushrooms! This card by the English artist Lisa Jones can be found on her website (along with other fab items). The hearts on the mushroom cap are smile-worthy, and so whimsical that this makes me wish to run to the store and rescue all the little shrooms from tummies. Hello There Cutie!!! xxxo

Cute Red Panda





















Not sure who the artist is behind this cutie, but one look into those adorable eyes and even the meanest person can't help but melt. As a test, readers should show this image to their most evil nemesis and sit back and watch the results!

Kissin Kuties



Remember these old Dutch statues that you could move together and apart? Well, here's an updated one from a shop called Lütt & Fien in Hamburg, Germany. Doug and I reproduced this pose once outside his house in Burbank and, if I might say, our version was almost as adorable as these two! Hello There Cuties!!! xxxo
