Awww... and packing.

Just when you think you've lived in Brooklyn long enough to hate all of human kind, ya happen upon adorable sh*t like this.

The reason I was googling "patterned tape" in the first place is because Matt and I need a solution for packing that will make it easy for "the movers" (ie. our family and friends) to identify boxes destined for Manhattan versus boxes doomed to a year of storage before we, as Jack Donaghy would say, "flee to the Cleve"


heh.

Anyhoo, look at these fun (and like many fun things, overpriced and impractical) tapes:

(available at TapeSwell.com)

(available at Amazon)

(you had me at "Happy Tape")
... aaaand evidently I was not the first to come up with this idea.

Alas, I think we'll go with something that is available at a local store - like that colored duct tape, perhaps. (Otherwise, we'd probably double the price with shipping costs.) But if anyone has a good idea for this patterned stuff, let me know! It would be a fun way to mail a gift package, right? Or just wrap a present in general. I'm picturing a box wrapped in newspaper or plain craft paper with some of that "happy tape" wrapped around it like ribbon. On the top of the box you could "draw" a bow with pieces of the tape. Notice I am thinking about this as opposed to packing. Have I mentioned my procrastination problem?

Happy Easter!

 {Me-likey: Berkley Illustration}
In honor of Easter, I present to you these hilariously sweet animal portraits by Etsy seller Berkley Illustration!.  Check out the whole series - they have formals of everything from a little robin to a T-rex.  How can you not smile at these?

Me-likey: Dish Bunny

If there is any way of actually enjoying doing the dishes, I think it might be this:


Ok, so probably a dishwasher would make me enjoy doing the dishes even more, but this is a start.  And way cuter.

Me-likey: The Immortal House Plant

As many of you know, I kill plants. Most recently, I killed a cactus. That's right, it can be done. The thing actually started rotting. But there is hope for me and my fellow "gangrene thumbs" (eh? get it?) out there! Behold, a fun alternative to the dusty old fake ficus tree:



Zinc-finished metal plants from Wisteria! Okay, so maybe they're still dusty, but these babies were "used in 19th-century France for winter gardens and conservatories," so they're classy. I know that I am a total sucker for marketing, but I think I am going to get one. Throw in a glade plug-in and I am in fake botanical heaven. Shame is overrated anyway.
