I've moved (geographically and...blog-o-graphically)! See me here: http://lookinglasslooks.blogspot.com/

Monster Love

Often times on blogs like these, we are quick to feature unicorns, fairies, damsels and other happy little creatures of the fantasy world. But, today, let us remember that creature who hid under our beds as children. Who became the antagonist of horror films. Who gave us such a fine energy drink...

The Monster.

And I'm lovin' Rainbowswirlz shop in Etsy for her monter lovin' bags!

Pretty scarey, aren't they? 

Night lights: Not just for scaredy-cats!

Greetings and salutations! Tis now the month of June and I am back from vacation and ready to blog. Lucky you :)

This week, I bring to your attention some fabulous finds I spotted while at The Ruby Pear, a tea room in Noblesville, IN. Sure, you can't all be lucky enough to have cucumber sandwiches, tea and scones at The Pear, but you can go to Ibis & Orchid Designs to see the beautiful night lights I saw there. I hoped to find a fairy light, but the flowers reminded me of a fairy garden, nevertheless <3

Ibis & Orchid also makes some beautiful votives, candle sticks, vases, wall sconces and more!

Frou-Frou Never Looked So Fantastical!

Today, I'm extremely excited to tell you all about a special artist: my friend Amber Renee Amick! Amber and I went to college together, and we're both cat ladies who love our felines too much (so what?!).

I'm not sure I have ever met someone so artistic, creative, and crafty. Or colorful, vibrant and quirky (in a good way, of course). Her creations are definitely one of a kind, and you should check out her wonderful Blogazine, Miseducated.net, for many fun reads and to-dos, as well as her store on Etsy.com for more of the fantastical, girly goodies I'm about to show you.

You can also see some of Amber's spectacular jewelry and accessory design for the Mad Tea Party Collection at Locketship.com

Cheers!

Mini Magic - in French!

I was lost within the inner-workings of Google today, searching for fabulous fairy finds. I almost settled for something that was "so-so" to post on here. But, something told me to keep looking. Onward, said the little voice. Search onward.

When I did, I found this gorgeous website by Miss Clara, a French artist who makes magical artwork. See: Le Jardin de Miss Clara

What does that mean? I haven't the foggiest. But if you scroll down you can read an English version of her home page, which tells you enough to click the GORGEOUS banner to navigate through her beautiful, whimsical artwork. You can enjoy, also, nature noises and magical sound effects in the background. Frankly, her website is a work of art if you ask me, but what I really would like to point out are such works as:

(He's climbing out of a book! My personal favorite!)

(Eeep! It's on a pin cushion!)

Take some time to peruse this site. Even if you don't speak French, I promise you'll find some pretties!

Monsters in the Hood(ies)

I've always been a pretty big fan of Busted Tees. I mean, it's a bunch of funny T-shirts, so what's not to love, eh?

But now they're offering these hoodies:

Yeah. I want one. I would wear the hood up all the time, too, wouldn't you?

Feed the birds...and stare at them, too.

Yesterday, my mother was lamenting a stone garden fairy she passed up last summer and it got me thinking (dangerous, I know). I haven't sought for too many outdoorsy relics as of yet.

So, I thought I would peruse the WWW for whimsical outdoor decor. Hence, I found and swooned over this birdfeeder from GardenFairy.com

Isn't it charming, magical and classical? I'll also take "slightly creepy" in a no-pupil-grinning-stone sort of way. But we can overlook that in light of the fact that it FEEDS the BIRDS! LOVE it!
