    I absolutely love this jumpsuit!

    I’ve thought Creature Cups were really awesome for a while now but this photo of their spider mug really just made me wonder if I could actually drink from one. I don’t mind spiders but…. I just don’t know.

    This fox fabric is one of my favorites. I’m particularly fond of the pencil pouch since you can see so many of the foxes!

    This tote!!!

    Oh my goodness. Could this be any cuter?! I think not.

    Love this snake incense holder! Not as much as I still love this snake lamp though.

    Always always always a fan of sweaters with animals! Lovin’ these dinosaur and duck ones.

    Everyone could use some inspirational socks! While we’re on the subject of animals and socks, here are some raccoon socks! …And some super cute fox socks.

    Of course I love these cicada earrings!!

    This is Klaus’ current favorite toy. It’s nice because there are no dangly parts, like legs or ears, for him to chew off yet it’s still noisy so its fun to chew on! I want to get him this film roll one too.

    My favorite planet!

    This pin!

    Link love…

    • Another day, another bug dress. The cut of this one isn’t necessarily something I’d pick for myself but I do love how feminine it is considering the print.
    • A button up top covered in tiny foxes!
    • This bat dress!
    • Here is a cat bed that is shaped like a piece of bread. You can even buy a blanket to go with it that is a fried egg. I LOVE stupid stuff like this.
    • Forever a fan of these toucan kitchen sheers.
    • Cat socks… for your furniture. Listen, I don’t know why they exist but they made me laugh.
    • I don’t drink so I have zero use for this narwhal corkscrew but gosh, it’s cute!
    • A find that always makes me smile, this cat toilet bowl brush.

    Happy Friday!
    xoxo

    Okay, I obviously have to lead with this photo of THE dainty Squid doing quality control. SO CUTE! I’ve been working my buns off the last couple weeks on a big update for the shop. This morning over 50 new listings went live. Two brand new sizes, and a bunch of new prints. I’m so …

  • Rockefeller Park Greenhouse

    by Kaylah Stroup February 20, 2019

    The weekend before last my best friend, Elycia, and her family came down from Canada to visit us. After getting breakfast and coffee at our favorite neighborhood spot, Jeff had the idea that we should head to Rockefeller Park Greenhouse. The greenhouse was built in 1905 and used originally to grow plants for the city. …
