Love these beautiful green cupcakes to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. 

Julie at Blue Cupcake did a fantastic job with these!

I found out about these crocheted Star Wars Mini Amigurumi characters from Guy Kawasaki. 

How adorable!  There's Yoda, an Ewok, R2D2, C3PO, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, a Stormtrooper, Darth Vader, and Chewbacca.  You can buy the crochet patterns from Lucy Ravenscar on etsy.com.

I saw The Half Plush featured on ohmysocute.com and just had to share it.  I'm not sure why I find it so lovable, but I do.

According to its creator, vivikas on etsy.com, the Half Plush used to be a normal plush, but one rainy day, got struck by a lightening bolt that only affected half of its body. 

So adorable!

I recently saw these adorable Animal Rubber Bands called Silly Bandz.  They come in a pack of 24 Zoo Animals. 

Silly Bandz are made of silicone and also come in Pets, Fun Shapes, Sea Creatures, Dinosaurs, Alphabet, Holiday, Spring Time, & more. 

How cute!  These would make a great party favor.

I discovered Sophie the Giraffe a few months ago when I was shopping for my friend who had just had a baby.

This cute little teether is soft and made of flexible natural rubber and food-based paint--a perfect chewing toy for a baby.  It is Phthalate and BPA-free, and made in the French Alps.  It's oh-so-adorable and squeaks, too, when you squeeze it. 

What a lovely gift for a new little one!
