Menagerie Mittens in Cowardly Lion - Modcloth

Part of a new batch of things Modcloth is selling that they claim will "support rural craftsmen and women of Nepal." Not sure if I buy that without any specific details... for all you know, that could just mean "support rural craftsmen and women of Nepal by supporting the sweatshops that pay them their wages!"

The mittens are very cute, though.

Iron & Wine - Lion's Mane

Always love me some Iron & Wine. This song is warm and cozy just like mittens are.

Jason Mraz - Who Needs Shelter
(Lyrics)

I'm pretty sure this was the first Mraz song I ever heard, way back when I was about thirteen. :) Still pretty fond of it, and him. I like his music best when it's real acoustic though, so I haven't really followed his newer stuff, since it seems to be kinda studio-stylized... O well. He's a groovy guy in any case, and I think I'll always have a soft spot for him.

RAINBOWARMERS: Cute Crocheted Rainbow Earmuff headpiece with clouds -- crimsonetclover on Etsy


Happy National Coming Out Day! :) Whether you want to make a bright pro-gay statement, or just wanna rock a cheery rainbow on those nasty cold days, OR BOTH, these earmuffs are an intensely cute style solution. I first got a pair made specially as a Christmas present for a friend, and they were frankly so amazing that I had to get one for myself too. (They're even using my customer appreciation pics as modeling shots in the item listing! ♥) They started out as a custom order that I requested from the seller/maker (so don't be afraid to contact her if they're out), and now they've become a semi-regular item in the shop's stock! And they just put a new pair up for sale today. Highly appropriate. I wore my own pair today to the National Marriage Equality March, and they were quite well-received by fellow marchers! Almost makes me look forward to going back to the chilliness of Pittsburgh. (They're very good at their job of warming your ears.)

Not my favorite Corinne song, lyrics are a bit preachy, but I've had a bad day so right now they're also comforting.

Hope you all have a lovely autumn!

Stars - In Our Bedroom After the War

Maybe not the best match for the necklace, but it's an old favorite of mine. And it is a song about the end of a war, the ideal of a post-war peacetime life... so I think it fits.

Wake up
say good morning to
that sleepy person
lying next to you;
if there's no one there,
then there's no one there --
but at least
the war is over.

Foks (Short in Ginger) - celapiu on Etsy

"Foks is a unique and original Celapiu design. It is a handcrafted fox-shaped scarf, a witty accessory and pro-eco manifesto at the same time. Fokses come in two different lengths: this short one has a flat, 'run over by a roller' look, and a special clip, that helps to adjust it around your neck. You can order gloves-cum-mittens to go with your Foks (they are $27)."

Timed Race Watch Necklace - Modcloth


Reminds me of the cycling in the film Triplettes de Belleville :) See:



Triplets of Belleville (Part 2)

"A little grandmother and fat old dog save her champion bike-riding son from the French Mafia with the help of performing, frog-eating triplets." I love this movie so much. The artwork is fantastic and it works together with the music very well, so that a rich story is created with next to no dialogue.


✯ ✯ ✯


And while we're on the subject, here's the main song from Triplettes, performed by "M" (Mathieu Chedid)







M - Triplets of Belleville - "Belleville Rendez-vous"

^ This is the English version. Click here to watch the original French version, and here for the French lyrics! :)

I will conclude today with a small picspam of Monsieur M, because he is such a delightfully curious fellow:












Fin!

"This is the end..."

Okay actually no it's not the end at all. There's a couple other songs I wanna do for Wolf Week, so how about we extend it in the spirit of the long Labor Day Weekend?
