Adorable and playful half aprons that are too sexy

sexy-half-aprons

This is so wrong.  These half aprons are way too adorable and playful.  So much so they’re looking too sexy and I’m not even sure they’re to be worn in the kitchen or the bedroom!  But one thing is for sure.  These aprons are definitely one-of-kind because each is totally handmade from an eclectic mix of vintage and modern fabrics.  And there’s quite a fun selection to pick from; like Bike Chicks, Pink Tattoo, Hip Cowgirl and Wrangler as shown clockwise from top left.

Good enough for Mother’s Day?  Well, you decide.

Brillant art lamps to brighten all corners

artbox-lamps

I was searching for more Artbox stationery when I came artbox lamps using these creative designs from Artbox Project.   They look great the way they’re designed and I would imagine they’ll look even more brilliant when they’re lighted! 

tracy-artbox.jpgBesides these that I’ve featured, you can find plenty of designs at the online store with works from over 20 designers to choose from.  Some of my favorites are those from Vacide Erda-Zimic, Tracy Mcguiness-Kelly, Fhiona Galloway and Ann Ellis. 

Each artbox lamp which cost US$45 measures 8” by 8” square, 3 inches deep, and comes with plug and switch.  In addition, a gift box and a 15 watt light bulb is included.  You can hang it on a wall or place it on shelf or a night table.  I would think they make great lamps to brighten up just about any rooms or corners because they’re totally brilliant!

Artbox Project ships internationally.

Handmade aprons with cute pocket designs

cute-handmade-aprons

I found images of these at Flickr, which in turn led me to Snappy Shop that is selling these cute handmade aprons.  Wow, for someone who doesn’t enjoy cooking very much, I must say these are inspiring and make me want to step into the kitchen with them.

What’s appealing about these aprons are the cute pocket designs - flower pot, good morning, flirty salad, red toaster, sweet bee, burger and fries - which are big enough to hold your keys, i-pod, cell phone or any good luck charms you may need to keep handy while doing your chores.

Made of 100% cotton, these all look very flattering and will definitely make cooking a lot more fun!   Prices start from US$37 and international shipping is available.

I say they make the perfect Mother’s Day gift!

Arty vintage homewares that make cute gifts

cute homewares

These are categorized as stuff for kids at ZIPPERgifts.com but I think they’re cute enough to suffice as gifts for just about anyone. 

I love the handmade Literary Bird House which is inspired by recycled vintage books.  Also the Little Red Piano is definitely able to inspire both kids and professional musicians to create beautiful music.  The classic Snoop & Sniff black and white pull along hound looks good too.  Or if you prefer something soft and cuddly, take your pick of the Rockin’ Rooster plush toy or inflatable rubber Bouncy Cow.

I’m quite certain everyone will love these gifts, even just the Flat Art Plates.   I know I would kill for them!

International shipping is available.
