Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

What Does Your Dream Home Look Like?

Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed of living in a old, slightly run-down, Victorian home.  The character and detail in these houses is so much more beautiful than anything being built today.  Now that I am an adult, these types of homes have become "trendy", so my ideal home will probably always be out of my price range.  Nevertheless, I can still dream!

I love looking at houses like this.  I can't help but think about the people who lived there in the past and what ghosts and goblins now roam the abandoned halls!  A home like this would be the perfect place to display quirky collections and provide an elegant framework to inspire ones day-to-day activities!

The Insects Christmas

I love bugs.  But that's not surprising, after all, who doesn't?  They are amazing, tiny creatures who are fascinating to watch.

I also love Christmas, so it's not surprising that at Christmastime I always watch The Insects Christmas.  This early stop-motion animated film was made in 1913 in Russia.  It features a tiny Santa, multiple insects, and a frog all celebrating Christmas.

Learn more about this short film and view it here.  You won't regret it.

What's Your Universe Like?

In what universe is this normal?  If most people saw a random clown and skeleton, they might take a second look.  However, what if in some parallel universe, this was considered normal and we were the ones who were a little strange?  Wouldn’t you just love spending a day in a place like that?  I would!

To the Victor Goes the Spoils!

When clowns do battle, who is the winner?  The victorious side takes the heads of those they've vanquished!  And who says clowns are creepy?

Sweet Little Calf

It's always such a joy to come across a sweet baby animal, especially when it has two heads.  Surprises like this don't come along every day, so one has to grab the moment when it comes!

What All the Well Dressed Fleas Are Wearing This Season!

I absolutely adore these images from 1919.  I love anything to do with a flea circus and these well dressed fleas would certainly turn heads as they go to watch a circus performance.  I think it's wonderful that someone took the time to assemble and photograph this tiny treasure.  Wouldn't it be interesting to get into this person's mind....

Where Do Elephants Shop For Clothes?

I love old pictures like this one.  But they do make me wonder, where do the elephants shop for clothes?  They seem so well dressed.  Want to learn more about elephants, check this out.
