Cats and Mice by Jeff De Boer

These days life is harsh so I certainly wouldn't blame our furry friends if they want to strap on some armor before facing the world. These cat and mouse armor pieces by Jeff De Boer are absolutely incredible, creative and include so much intricate detail.

Russian Doll Pepper Grinder

This Russian Doll Pepper Grinder is beautifully formed and painted in bright, warm orange and red tones. I've always adored matryoshka and babushka dolls and having an adorable and sweet matryoshka doll in my kitchen to add a little spice to my life would certainly brighten my day.

Porcelain Crushed Cans by Lei Xue

I love art that strays from the traditional and though the motif on these porcelain crushed cans by Lei Xue is traditional the concept certainly is not! These porcelain cans are precious treasures that I would never toss out unlike the soda and beer cans that these were modeled after. Maybe we should start rethinking how we see trash?

USB Heated G-Gloves

These USB heated gloves are really cute and I bet they'd be particularly handy during cold winters like the one I'm experiencing now. The weather outside may be frightful but that doesn't mean that you should have to freeze your hands off to check your email!

Phone Box Decor

I don't think it's any secret that I'm a fan of quirky and interesting home accents so you probably won't be surprised that I find these phone box pieces to be so appealing! They were both created by the talented artist Finn Stone who has a real gift for design in my opinion.
The first piece is a chair that's shaped like the top of a phone box and the second is a huge phone box that lights up.
