February Angel Cutie



Back in August, I posted an August Angel my Grandma Helen had given me when I was small. For February, in honor of both her and my half birthday, we have this sweet vintage February Angel also by Lefton. Adore her sash declaring the month and bouquet of flowers, along with her sweetly innocent expression. Hello There Cutie! xxxo

Baby Gorilla Cutie



I saw this baby gorilla photo from a German zoo, but don't know much about this cutie. Well, except the obvious: he's adorable! Love the punk rock hair and how he's sticking out his tongue at the paparazzi. And those big eyes..Hello There Cutie! xxxo

Sunday Morning Cuties

One of my fondest childhood memories was waking up to the Sunday Funnies in our local newspaper. My favorites included Peanuts, Dennis the Menace, Nancy, Hi & Lois and Bil Keane's The Family Circus. According to sources, the strip began in February 1960 on the 29th (Leap Year Day!) under the title The Family Circle, but was changed to avoid confusion with the women's magazine of the same name. The single-panel daily strip appears in more than 1500 newspapers today and still tells the simple, sweet and cute stories of the Keane Family - father Bill, mother Thelma, and their tykes: Billy, Dolly, Jeffy and PJ. Grandparents sometimes appear (one is a ghost) as well pets Barfy, Sam and Kittycat.
The Sunday version of the strip breaks out of the single rounded panel and often tells a complete story through clever visuals. For more info visit The Family Circus website.

Miffy's A Cutie



So I was on the Miffy website looking for an eCard and found myself in the online store. Trouble! I never realised that I needed a Miffy sheet-set before. Isn't it adorable how she's peeking out behind the dark sheet? And what girly-girl doesn't love pink? Hello There Cutie!!! xxxo

Miffy on Cute TV

The iconic white bunny from Dick Bruna's beloved children's books comes to life on PBS, with 3D stop-motion animation, offering preschoolers tiny lessons for a great big world!

Pink & Cute

There's nothing like a pink breakfast cereal that also turns your (soy) milk into a sweet, pink liquid. Who would be a spokescat for such a product? Why none other than one of our favorite film felines The Pink Panther!

Knuffle Kutie



Knuffle Bunny is a Caldecott Award-winning children's book about a toddler named Trixie who loses her favorite toy bunny in the laundromat. Trixie isn't big enough to say words, so she tries to communicate via sounds... Adore the combination of b/w photography and cartoon-y illustration used throughout this NY story. Hello There Cutie book!!! xxxo

Plummy Cuties



I'm a typical American girl... I prefer sweet to sour. That said, the cutie super heroes on the front of this Japanese package of super-sour-crunchy Ume, the pickled Japanese plum, tempt me to try this. Perhaps I'll be big 'n' strong like them post eating some. Or at least have the ability to make silly faces. xxxo

Bella Foster is a Brooklyn, NY based painter and artist with her own v. unique style. This watercolor cutie I found on her website, and instantly fell in love with both the colors & whimsical lines.

Cute at Any Price!


Magilla Gorilla was the tar of THE MAGILLA GORILLA SHOW which ran from 1963 to 1966 and has been rerun ever since. Magilla spent his days in the display window of Mr. Peebles' Pet Show, eating bananas and being a clown for passersby. Desperate Mr. Peebles continually marked down Magilla's price to make the gorilla more attractive to potential customers. Each episode, Magilla would go home with a new owner, but somehow always ended up returning to the store.

One customer who was honestly interested in owning the big ape was a little girl named Ogee, who often asked "How much is that gorilla in the window?" .

We've got a gorilla for sale...
Magilla Gorilla for sale.

Won't you buy him...

1960s Cutie



This photo from the sixties was sent in by a cutie reader. We usually don't post baby/kids shots, but how could we resist this one? Adore the mid-century furniture and our readers corduroy coveralls in bright red, with a big diaper bootie. Add in the sweet smile and Barbizon pose, it's a Hello There Cutie moment!!! xxxo
