This week I’m a guest editor for Kirtsy, which is like Digg for women. (You may also know Kirtsy as Sk*rt, they renamed it recently due to lawsuit unpleasantness.) Anyway, I picked a few things I think folks will like, so check back every day this week to see a few of my favorite things.

Shopping Overload
When I close my eyes to sleep, I see flocks of sparrows in silhouette dodging thousands of multi-colored, oversized polka dots. In my dreams, I’m chased by forlorn children wearing hats with ears. I’ve almost forgotten that cupcakes were once edible. Also, if I have to look at one more handmade, semi-precious stone jewelry website, I may begin to pluck my own eyelashes to break the monotony.
Objects of Affection
Get to Work
Sculpture pencils by Agelio Batle, the acorn and olive branch are my favorites.
Pixelnotes is an ever-evolving wall of Post Its.
Portland with Melissa

Melissa and I went thrifting together in Portland before the rest of our girlfriends hit San Francisco. We stayed at the Ace, which was perfect in every way. In addition to touching the elevator button with my nose, I also licked everything on the premises. It tasted like fixies and vegan donuts.
Subliminal Marketing
The MoMA Store is wondering if you might be interested in a sweet little
Muff Doll? Or perhaps a good old-fashioned game of Snatch? Unfortunately, the Choochie Jump Ropes are sold out. Bummer.
Today’s Good
New Mighty Goods Finds items for today:
The Goods
Holy crap, you guys like to shop. Etsy doesn’t let you see the stuff that’s already been sold, so I thought I’d post some photos of the goods gone by. Some of this stuff is still available, however. Today’s new items are the Bisque dolls from Japan and the toy car ornaments.
Also, there’s an excellent Stocking Stuffer Guide up at Mighty Junior. Go have a look.
