Oh, You Pretty Things

So, I'm imposing a little bit of shopping abstinance on myself for a while to compensate for the impact a couple of clickety-clicks on Amazon will have on the numbers on my bank statement after I buy my new netbook (and I'll be going on about said netbook for some time yet, I predict). But as clothes buying is not a priority right now (and I'm still waiting for purchases made in the last couple of weeks to arrive in the mail, anyway), my web-browsing became focussed on beautiful things that weren't clothes. These are all definitely things that would make Holly Pop World that much more of a pretty place to live in.

Tea. I cannot get enough of it. If I had a cup this beautiful to drink it out of, I don't think I'd ever be without my favourite beverage in hand. The cake plate and dessert stand are equally lovely.

If there's a cooler way to carry around a laptop, I haven't seen it.

If I have to wear glasses (and believe me, I do), getting to store them in this would make it way more fun to be a specs-wearer. I still say hooray for contacts, though.

Kris Chau's illustrations and paintings are all so wonderful but it's this one, entitled Sweet Anatomy, that I'm particularly drawn to. I've never seen such beautiful insides before.


As a self-confessed mad cat lady, I would be very happy to have this cushion residing on my daybed, I think.

Neon pink hands on a cream base. Need I say more?

A complete waste of time to buy pretty toys for my own beloved cat because the amount of money I've wasted on 'fun' toys for him already is enough. His disinterest in any (non-living) thing except cheap ping-pong balls, food and feet is palpable. But this mouse... so pretty!
