// New bits and bobs over at The Northern Sea: this antiqued cicada ring (!!!), a chevron ring (love the layered look), and the leaf ring in gold (and silver, too!) Can you tell I'm totally into rings right now?! haha
// Carrie Anne always has the most interesting guest posters on her blog. The latest about Greenwashing is no exception! I feel like I always learn a lot when I pop by her place. (I love her Snapshots posts, too! Fantastic links)

What are you loving this week?
The blind date with a book thing sounds BRILLIANT! I would absolutely do that. I'm super judge-y when it comes to covers, and I know it's bad.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to read the story on the international adoptions soon. I have heard about adoption agencies convincing women to give up their babies for adoption because the demand is so high. It's a hard thing to discuss, but I'm glad to see people talking about it.
The Blind Date with a Book is a bit like The Biblio-Mat at The Monkey's Paw here in Toronto.

Hi-larious! Love it all, haha. Especially "Da-Bynes"

Love the book. Want the elephant. And I'm amazed at how many of the same things we've read this week! Great minds think alike!
ReplyDeleteOooh...that black puppy!!! :) Awesome links.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that Juggalo Tumblr, so funny!
ReplyDeleteI would so try the blind date with a book! Sounds like fun! Also, those pictures from the Congo! So amazing! They remind me of some psychedelic 60's film. Oh and that bunny gif, makes me miss our bunnies. One of our cats LOVED our oldest bunny, he would chase her around the bathroom tapping her and being curious.
ReplyDeleteThat kid in the middle from the Congo pictures, his shirt does say "Lick That Shit" ....right?
ReplyDeleteThe shirt on that kid in the middle of the picture from Congo, does his shirt say "Lick that shit"? Haha.
ReplyDeleteOh my, the okcupid juggalo tumblr is seriously making me laugh so hard right now! We have a few in our town and I'm never going to look at them the same again!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a book blind date. I would totally be up for that. I really hope more bookshops take on this idea!

Thanks for the love!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the "blind date" book idea, and now I totally want a virtual market to shop at. When will North Carolina catch up with Japan??

I love a lot of things in this post but specifically, those polaroids are wonderful. Oh, Amy Poehler. I love that even her facial expressions are in character.
ReplyDeleteAnd that Spanish restaurant sounds awesome! There's a nonprofit Panera in my neighborhood called Panera Cares that does something similiar. It's pay what you want so they have the same menu but after you order, the cashier tells you the suggested price and you can pay more/less. If you can't pay anything at all, you're encouraged to work one hour (usually clearing tables, etc.) in exchange for a meal. It's awesome!
That S. Korean virtual grocery store in the station has just blown my tiny, ever loving mind. IT IS THE VERY SOUL OF CONVENIENCE. I hope the future holds something like that for us stateside, JEEZ!
ReplyDeleteThose "poehlr-oids" are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe bunny's attempt is just the cutest thing ever! And Aaron loves the blind date book idea! Always love checking in on Thursday! :)
ReplyDeleteLove from the NJ Shore!

ReplyDeleteokay, that bunny gif almost made me cry. great collection!
ReplyDeleteAwww that bunny <3 But what is the real gold of this? That picture of the kids in the Congo, and the one kids shirt says "Lick That Shit". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I really want to do the blind date with books thing & I want to own those sunglasses :)

That juggalo okcupid site is hilarious! Insane Clown Posse is playing in my little down tonight, and it always draws in so many crazy juggalos. I don't like ICP, but it is so funny to watch the juggalos!
ReplyDeleteGreat links as always!
Love all of these! Especially the bunny! And that market in Japan?! I like the idea but I'd probably scan so many things and then once it got to my house be like "Why did I buy this!?" Haha!
ReplyDelete<3 I hope you're having a great weekend!
Sara @ tinysugarbee.blogspot.com
do you know the ridiculous things i would give for that virtual store?! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteand those Poehler-oids are the best thing ever!
So much cool stuff to talk about I don't know where to start, haha! That elephant, the bunny, the Japanese home delivery thing... aaaaahhhh. Awesome Things I Love Thursday!
ReplyDeleteI'm still blushing from your praise.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the blind date with a book! I would totally do that, though chances are high it would be just a one-night stand. ;)
That convenience store is crazy cool.
