Giant Squid


Okay, I'm not going to lie, I love Discovery channel and national geographic a lot.
and I really love sharks and sea life but I also really have a special spot in my heart for squid especially giant one. 

I have watched a lot of documentaries and specials on the subject and I just found these pictures.
I never saw them before and I was really shocked because they didn't have any photos of live giant squid. 

but then I find these two actual photos of live giant squid. 

 I found this one on the National Geographic website it was caught December, 2006 in Japan. It died later.

He one was caught in Antarctic on February 22, 2007

I am excited to see them but it makes me sad because I believe fishermen are finding them because the squid don't have enough food and they are coming up from the depths to eat. 



I love Jezebel too.


Happy Sunday morning everyone. 

click on this link to see more cards and beautiful stuff. Certain images remind me of Aubrey Beardsley. Especially the bottom one.
I just found these they are lovely.

Its 4 in the Morning.


Its 4:53 in the morning I have been up since like 2 am. So I figured I would tell you that I received my sample t-shirts from my Honey and Pig Store. If everything goes right I think it will be finished by Monday!!!! I am soooo excited. its very cute. I will post a photos tomorrow, today I mean. Is it wrong to eat breakfast at 4:56?

I am pretty sure Pauly will not be happy with me if I do that. I am thinking waffles with cocoa and maybe something else. Ideally with bacon and eggs and fruit but more realistically it will just be eggs and spinach or something. 

Lots to do today I was feeling pretty yucky all week so I didn't finish all the things I was supposed to do. If I can defrost my hands I may work on some Illustrations for the poem I told you about. 

So here's what I have to do today.........
1. Laundry
2. Return some things at some stores.
3. Buy gold paint cause we are making the coolest castle on the entire planet at school......they voted and Golden Castle won by a landslide.  
4. Technically... hit the gym. but that might not happen 
5. Mall visit to jcrew for 2 headbands. Miss Avril needs one too. 
6. Clean the house- check. made Pauly help me last night. ..... that's what you get for watching LOST without me. 
7. Work on Verna's illustrations
8. Finish the Honey and Pig store
9. go to Flu's CD release party in Manchester, Ct.
10. oh maybe get some sleep since that doesn't seem to be happening now.


I'd also like to squeeze in some toe nail polish at some point. 
if I do that now I will probably get really sleepy and ruin the paint job cause I pass out.
but sadly I am not tired.

Design Works


My friend Rachel is from Cape Cod and her mom still lives there and she works at one of the 
greatest stores ever...
its in Yarmouthport, Massachusettes and whenever I get the chance to go there I do. 




Some really cute soaps. 



Ribbons I love.........






When I was in college I used to go home with Rachel in the spring and I loved staying in Yarmouthport with her. It reminds me of Spring.

Flowers for your Head




So today one of the cutest girls on the planet was wearing this headband. I just had to find it for me. Sadly she is four years old, but whatever.  It will look good on me too. 
I found them all at j.crew. 


This magnificent purse will go great with my headband.
