HOOKED.

I have a crush on this bracelet. I mean, I don’t want to marry it or anything, but it has everything a crush is made of … smarts, looks for days, sass, some attitude and a smidge of swagger. You know what I’m talking about, don’t pretend you don’t.

Braided leather with a Captain Hook-sized contoured, well, hook that clamps onto a ring.

AND because the designer, Paige Novick really knows what she’s doing, here’s a little go-with that will make your heart flip over and skip a beat.

The bracelet with attitude, here, and the heart-flippin’ ring is here.

xxooxxo,

BIRDLAND.

These li’l birdies made me do a happy dance. So sorry you didn’t see that.

Designed in 1959 by Kristian Vedel and still hand-turned in some village in Denmark, each birdie’s head can be positioned so that it takes on some pretty darlin’ expressions … from happy to sad to curious to questioning.

The loveable Kristian Vedel birdies, here. They come in 3 sizes and 3 different colors of wood, so you can get a bevy, a gaggle or a covey.

xxooxxo,

POOR MISS PIGGY.

Poor Miss Piggy did a Humpty Dumpty, and it’s your job to put her back together again.

The angel on my shoulder says this is kind of clever; but then that evil twin says, “Why?” Okay, the wicked me has more to say, but we’ll just leave it at that.

Poor Miss Piggy, complete with a tube of glue, right here.

xxooxxo,

BobbiePen.

ROYAL FLUSH.

Making its debut May 8, the newest love stamps from the Post Office are taken from 18th century French playing cards. Each monarch gets his or her own stamp. Clever, don’t you think? Charming, definitely. Love is in the air. Big fat sigh.

The King and Queen of Hearts are here.

xxooxxo,

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE.

When only a few choice words will do … or sweet nothings … or an invitation … or sharing a secret … or, or, or … you want this. You could even drop a tiny trinket in it for a lovely little thank you. Sugar, the possibilities are endless.

 

Measuring just 2.5” x 3”, each bottle comes with 3 blank scrolls in 3 colors. The intrigue alone will kill her/him/them.

The Message in a Bottle, here.

xxooxxo,
BobbiePen.

DIAL 9 FOR AN OUTSIDE LINE.

This is so cute that you’re going to just lay down and die, but don’t. Order it immediately instead. People will thank you for not dying … probably.

I personally think it’s a far better option for cocktail parties, black-tie and all those fancy sequin-y parties we’re constantly going to. It’s got personality, for God’s sake, and not the hum-drum that everybody else has.

And here’s the best part: it’s under $50. I’m not kiddin’.

The absolutely precious Dial 9 bag is here.

xxooxxo,
BobbiePen.

MONEY HONEY.

I’m a sucker for hand-tooled leather. What you usually find is vintage, and not quite right. Beautiful, but not right. Not enough bells and whistles for what you have to haul around these days, you know what I’m saying?

This one is the modern version of the vintage version. This version works.

Ah, the colors to choose from … makes it even more lovable.

The perforated hand-tooled Mexicana wallet, here. Yes!

xxooxxo,
