colorful birds.  this is part of the reason many people enjoy bird-watching.

i remember my first glimpse of a blue jay strutting his stuff in the parking lot of the Huntington Museum in California. i was out on a date with a gentleman, who perhaps, was not into as much art as i was. i will always remember him when i look at the daybook souvenir he got me.  he must be married now with kids.  still, it was a very interesting day.  the blue jay was wonderful.  it may be a common bird in the USA, but it was hardly common to me, being a Filipina mostly here in MetroManila, Philippines

,,,,, i was looking for laughing ... but i guess it fell under the "Get it On", so not just about sex, but perhaps things that release serotonins or endorphins.

but hey, this website is a great place to find some laughter  if you are on the net, wacky things are great for laughter, and laughter is one of best things in this world

Fairy shoes

i get etsy mail on a daily basis and if you read my posts - which i try to label as accurately as possible - you would know i love off-beat, items of whimsy or fairy things.

there is a lady with an etsy shop.  she makes shoes.  i call them fairy shoes, but they are actually bridal shoes. she also makes baby/toddler/pre-school shoes.  they are gorgeous.

i am in conversation with her because there is a pair of toddler shoes that would i think would look fab on my feet - if she agrees to make them for adults.  you may want to ask why cant i buy made-to-order-shoes here in the Philippines, say Marikina.  well, the Philippine shoemakers make practical shoes - as fitting for a third world country.  But, sometimes the spirit yearns for something magical. and her shoes are magical.

i dont need signature stuff --- like longchamp bags or whatever.  i buy things that are useful, or those that bring joy.  The adult shoes are ballet shoes, and having worn them before, i know how wonderfully comfy they are - well, she has shoes that have heels  if you are the heel-type individual.

Few things bring joy, but my whimsy things bring me joy.  i know these shoes will bring me joy.
just like my etsy elephant.......

anyway, i hope to post some of her shoes once i get permission.  in the meantime - her shop is pink2blue and   here's the link for you to click on

 i just got permission and here are some pics. my favorite one is Andrea = which can be made for adults

these were meant for weddings, special events, christenings. i cant wear heels like these, but somebody there can , i.m sure

A whimsy post - an Etsy shop of Uncommon Creatures

i get mail from etsy shops.  this was one of the shops i got in my email today.

i collect elephants and i found the elephant in this shop gorgeous.  she has won awards.

i can hardly wait for my own.

do peruse her shop.  she has some of of the most amazing creatures.

so if you know someone who has all the money in this world (like Bill Gates, or Warren Buffet, or the Sultan of ......, or maybe the Marcoses for local flavor) and you cant think of a present, you may want to take a gander at this shop.  remember, you can have yours customized.  Or pick one that is existing and make little changes to make it your own.  a wonderful shop.
