2 for 20 Sale and finished business...

Just a quick post to let you all in on the onesie sale I'm having in ye old shop. Selected onesies are 2 for $20 for the next week or so. There are limited quanities so if there's a design you've been eyeing for your little one now's the perfect time to knab it.



Also it occured to me that I never showed off my finished ray gun tattoo (that has been done for quite a while now) I really love how it turned out, it's by far one of my favorites. I can't decide if it's the colors or just Parkers awesome handi work. Well that's it for now, I'm preparing for the Christmas season which is why I've been so scarce here. But vow by the powers of gray skull to update my beloved blog more and more often.

Found

I got my Maneki Neko today!

Just a little post in between pressing new goodies to show off the newest inhabiantant in the land of madness. I've always loved these ceramic sculptures, what with the bright colors and the cuteness factor being off the freakin scales, and I FINALLY found one. Maneki Neko (beckoning cat in Japanese) are usually kept by business owners who are known to keep them by the entrance and are belived to bring good luck. All I really know for sure is I can't stop staring at the little cutie resting on my shelf and if it brings good luck well all the better.

Happy Tuesday!

I like....

I've been scare here lately, due to an insane amount of custom orders (which I'm super thankful for, but are leaving me a bit more frazzled then usual), but here are a few things I've been really enjoying or hope to enjoy soon.
(A.) Camera ring from Fred Flare (B.) We by Yevgeny Zamyatin (I just finished it and loved, loved, LOVED it) a wonderful dystopia that's based in the future where the soul is considered to be a disease. People aren't people but merely numbers, where "every one" and "I" are a single "We". I highly suggest it over and over again. (C) Kimya Dawson's Remember I Love You LP, Kimya has that rare ability to deliver the most lovely, abrasive, warm and fuzzy, cleverly tragic lyrics I've ever heard. I can go from wanting to cry to laughing out load within the same song. Seriously a treat that I must have once a day. (D) Sherbert Colorblock headphones, I love these headphones, so fun and vibrant they just seem to call out to me. Hope you all had a really lovely weekend,
XOXO-

Mixing it up

After the long weekend things are just getting back to whatever's considered normal here in the land of madness. I didn't manage to ignore things completely this weekend as I had hoped, but some great things were made. I finally got around to making a few of these wall plaques that I've had in my head for quite sometime. This one is for us, but I plan on added some to the shop in the next week or so.

I also made my way to a fabulous flea market that was going on for the holiday and I scored some wonderful finds including this old hand mixer. Which reminds me of a miniature version I had as a kid that I would play with whenever I went to my grandmas. I'm planning on hanging putting it in a shadow box and hanging it in the kitchen. More on the other fab finds later, happy Tuesday all!

Wrapping things up

Just a quick post to show off my little little ditty that Parker (my totally awesome friend/tattoo artist/pt designer for MM) did for me last week. For those not in the know, I'm a bit of a ray gun freak and have been wanting one tattooed on my massive bicip. :) It's not quite done yet and needs to have color added in the next few weeks, I'll be sure to post pics when it's fin. So I'm finishing up a few custom orders and trying despartely to get all my packaging and shipping done today so I can actually enjoy the long weekend. We have a huge bag of stuff that goes boom and I feel like a big kid. Have a safe but exciting 4th of July or weekend if your not in the states.

Love,

M.M

I Like You Too...

I love me some Amy Sedaris and her new book I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence just reafirms why this lady can make me laugh out loud just thinking about some of the things in this book. Filled with her wicked humor, mild drug references, zany hostess tips and some really tasty recipes. It's like a strange scrapbook from an eccentric aunt. Serioulsy a fun read!
Things I particually loved...

♥ The recipes are printed on rick rack trimmed recipe cards that are smuged and stained.
♥ Adult Proof Your House
Assume guests will snoop. Plan ahead and fill your medicine cabinet with marbles.

Speaking of fun stuff I love...

We've been on the lookout for a record player for our living room for quite sometime now. But finding that perfect mix of a stand/console has been proving to be an issue...until now that is! I found this Governor Entertainment Center from Crosley that is just what we had in mind and such a perfect touch for the room.
Happy Tuesday all! (although I keep thinking it's Wedsday) and a happy birthday Nathan and Leon. :)

Much love,

Gotta Have

So how badly do I want this White Stripes special edition lomo camera? Maybe a litte two badly, if you ask Andy.
I'm mildly obbessed with photography and vintage cameras and I've been putting off getting a lomo for quite sometime. Since Lomo has quite the reputation of releasing cool ass cameras that go straight to the top of my lenghty "got to have" list, I usually wait it out to see if I really gotta have it. If I didn't I would have a shelf of them already, straight up.

So I'm thinking it's a good thing I held out. I haven't been able to get this beauty out of my head since I first saw it a few months ago. I just keep picturing that peppermint that's printed on the advance dial. Not only is this a pairing of two of my favorite things (cameras and the white stripes) but this model called the Meg Diana offers a removable pinhole lens, a panorama feature and a peppermint film mask filter. Oh the possibilities!





Aside from scouting out the goods on my gotta have list, I've been pressing a magnitude of the mix tape patches. I've been out of them for ages and missed them a bit. So in case any of you missed them too there are a few new sets coming to my shop, including large mix tape and brassies back patches. Hope everyone's monday is off to a good start. I'm off brainstorm with Andy about turtle terttierium ideas.

Laters gators,
