At The Daily Telecraft, ideas for making use of all the little plastic animals you have laying about… Large animal ideas too. I like the idea of these pins — sort of like a plastic version of gaffe taxidermy!

The Circle Of Kitsch
Remember back, when the Internet was young, and the most fascinating thing was to search for the exotic… Finding pages published by people far away from you, on subjects and things you’d never heard of before. Now, one of the most important things is to find things right in your own backyard. Things you know about — enough to want, anyway. If the price is right. Things you want, and at the best price; thanks, Internet.
Sure, some of the exotic thrills are still a large part of our daily Internet use. But beyond the entertainment and educational value, so much of our time is now spent comparison shopping — and we seek the added bonus of supporting our local economies. Well, maybe it’s just the convenience of saving on shipping combined with the instant gratification of a local pickup. Tomato, tomatoe; the results are the same.
I was tooling about such a place, www.CentrSource.ca, “Things you love, where you live.” Unexpectedly, however, I found myself discovering the delightful Kitsch Hotel, a youth hostel in Lisbon, Portugal. It’s not near home, but it is a thrifty way to travel. And it’s loaded with kitsch!
Photos via The Kitsch Hostel Blog. A number of clever ideas seen here sent me back to CentrSource for project supplies. …Ah, the circle of kitsch.

Don’t Bite Your Nails
Candy corn is the lowest form of candy. Not sure it even counts as a candy. In any case, covering your nails in artificial candy corn pieces is not only redundant, but quite possibly it will keep you from nibbling at your nails.

Wanna Be Starting Something
You’re A Vegetable, You’re A Vegetable
Still They Hate You, You’re A Vegetable
You’re Just A Buffet, You’re A Vegetable
They Eat Off Of You, You’re A Vegetable
Wanna Be Starting Something lyrics, by Michael Jackson.

For You Flyboys
The 2012 Collector’s Calendar from Secrets In Lace features pinups wearing classic lingerie posing in front of WWII airplanes. Yeah, airplanes, that’s why we said “flyboys.” Yeah, that’s it. Pinup photographs taken by Michael Malak.

Corgi Dog — Balloon?
In what seems like an oxymoron — or just too cute for the attempt, we present the Corgi Balloon Dog. No matter how ample the bod filled with helium, those little legs just keep the pup down on the ground. *wink*
In case you missed it at my other (mommy) blog, every MyOwnPet balloon purchased from this page means $5 will go directly to help Canines for Disabled Kids.
