Mouse House

Oh I LOVE this! It is a little swiss cheese house with a matchbox bed, crochet door mat and a cotton reel table. perfect! Other cute, cute, cute things on this website - I really like the tiny, child-sized, wooden washing up basin and oven.

Cup Cakes

Can you see this clearly enough? It is a set of cup cakes made by a lady called Zalita, it's called the Mad Hatters Tea Party and it reminds me of your Kiki and Koko picnic cake... but rather more dainty! It gives me an idea for the next round of crazy cakes if ever we are in the same country for a birthday again... Decorated cup cakes here we come...!

She also made this which is so, so, so pretty. If Andy and Niki could do something this exquisite, they'd be onto a bomb. Do you want one?

Look what I haven't got

I didn't win this on eBay, but I would really like to have given it a home and used the threads, each of the draws was filled with them; all different colours. Such a sweet little drawer unit, so I am sending you this picture of it so at least we can look at it if not use it. (ok, it's half falling apart, scruffy, torn and wrinkly.... but it has certain charms.... I like the black knobs!)
Mmmm, threads.

Chocolate Buttons

Banners sent me the best chocolate buttons ever for my birthday. They are REAL buttons! So, so pretty and delicious too, every single one was a different design - I had to ration them. I thought that you would like them a lot.
Here is a close up so you can see the sweet details. ('Sweet'. Geddit?) (Sorry).

Moo-licious!


Have you ever seen such pretty cartons of milk? I just couldn't resist them on a recent trip to Whole Foods. Pink for the girls and blue for the boys (except the flavor Mark usually has came in the pink and mine came in the blue). And the best thing was, it tasted as delicious as it looked.

Puppy Love

While we are on the subject of cute puppies I thought you might quite like this little chap. He is definitely worthy of a feature in Metro.


A Chihuahua puppy born in Japan with a natural heart shaped pattern on his coat has captured the hearts of animal lovers around the world. His natural heart-shaped markings on his fur have made him an instant star in Japan. And it was a case of puppy love across the world as the tiny dog made television appearances worldwide.

Shop owner Ms Sakurada got the surprise of her life when she saw the birthmark heart markings in the fur of her tiny pooch. She said it was the first time a puppy with these marks had been born out of the 1,000 animals that she has bred.

Since Heart-kun was born, he has brought a lot of luck, according to Ms Sakurada. He sister got lucky on the lottery and won a concert ticket.
Heart-kun's owner has been inundated with requests from people wanting to purchase the unique puppy. But they can keep their paws off him, she says, for her little four-legged friend ain't going nowhere!

Funny Flea Faces!

I was watching tele at the weekend and I saw this advert for the first time. It made me smile. I think that Shar Pei puppies (the grey wrinkly one) are the cutest little things (a cross between a teddy bear and a podgy baby) and I liked that he was friends with the pup that looked the most like a wolf cub. It made me think of me and you (I'm the itchy one of course).
