pinterest picks: my lovely little wish list

The following images have been oo'ed at, lusted over, and "pinned" to my "Lovely Little Wish List" board on Pinterest for some time now. These pieces are merely things I want, dream about enjoying, drool over, and wish I could own so soooo bad. 

Until I have the money (and reason to indulge and satisfy a "want" of mine), they'll remain frozen in time on a cyberspace pin board. But hey, maybe a billionaire will read this post, take pity on me, and buy and ship me some of the goods. Only in my dreams...

cool, cute, and clever things that make you go...

... :D

i love finding things on other blogs, pinterest, or in stores that make me go "saweet!" or "dang, that's so cool i wish i'd thought of that!" or "too bad i didn't think of that, but i'm definitely going to buy it and love and get a hoot out of it forever!"

below is a collage of things i've recently come across and find to be cool, cute, and clever and therefore want to get my hands on as soon as my bank account allows it!


[grid design for one life in skills]

1. machine that converts unwanted paper into wanted pencils. saweet!
2. "see you in hell" ashtray. made me laugh.
3. kitchen bull that holds your knives and favorite cookbooks. super cute and clever way to minimize counter space use. too bad its $595!!!!
4. word puzzle wrapping paper. just circle the holiday you're gifting for or make the word puzzle yourself on white parchment paper and circle the name of the person you're giving it to. great idea for the holidays!
5. vine and leaf bike lock. pretty way to lock up your bike! great gift idea for someone you know getting a new bike for their birthday or christmas.
6. a fish shaped fish bowl. makes me want to head over to petco and buy a gold fish!
7. mood mugs. love the quirky facial expressions to reflect your mood!
8. tiny house planter box. the holes for the door and windows allows roots to poke through! clever i'd say..
9. 321 water bottle filters water instantly in a pretty way!
10. juliette wheelbarrow that doubles as a comfortable outdoor seat when turned upright. awesome!
11. unzipped glass zipper bag. my aunt and uncle gave this to me last year for christmas and i'm utterly obsessed with the illusion of it!
12. typography soap. design your own then gift it to someone :)
