Introductions: The Runny Bunny

Introducing my new favorite Etsy discovery, The Runny Bunny. I'm particularly fond of her "Hybrid" sculptures featuring a bird with a boy's head, a Victorian woman with a bunny head...you get the picture. I think they're very refreshing and I'm strongly fighting the urge to purchase a few!

Custom Order: "Retro" Needlepoint Charm

Check out this Needlepoint Initial Charm made with custom colors for my cousin, Sherry, in NYC! Do you want your Needlepoint charm made with these colors? Or do you have a different color scheme in mind? Just send me a message!

Inspiration: Equestrianism

Out of fear that I've posted one too many of Montreal posts and lost everyone's interest, I've decided to do a second post today. This time, on a NEW found obsession of mine...Equestrianism! Perhaps I've watched a bit too much Mad Men and Betty Draper has invaded my mind. Well, my hunt continues for the perfect brown vintage riding boots (the picture of the boots in the collage are on my ebay watch list and they WILL be mine in 3 days!) Also on my list, the perfect equestrian tweed blazer!

And the Obsession Continues: of Montreal

Heist Extras: Buttons!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, in the very near future I will begin including a little something extra in all Heist orders. I've been working with Piping Hot Papers to create some cute little buttons. I chose to do her "DIY buttons" where I create the images in photoshop, cut them out and then send them to her to make into buttons! How easy is that? I tried to make the images as wearable as possible, not just an advertisement, so hopefully you can have fun with them...enjoy!

Countdown: Skeletal Lamping Tour

of Montreal has officially kicked off their Ninjas Prove It tour and the first reviews are in. Stereogum has posted a review of their Roseland Ballroom show in NYC and it is glowing! I can't wait for the Boston show! Check out the images above...how can that show NOT be good?

The main set's big finish had a coffin wheeled out onto stage, and from it emerged Barnes, covered in shaving cream. After the song, he said "I want to give you a hug!" and ran and hugged the first row...We had no idea how they could possibly top that, but they managed it with a cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Andrew from MGMT was on that. The place went apeshit. Only Nirvana has played it better.

Also, check out NPR to stream the audio from their D.C. show and to hear an interview with Kevin Barnes. xo

Introductions: Altardbeast

I just discovered Altardbeast's Etsy shop and couldn't resist posting my 2 favorite "Estranged Species" prints! Not only are the prints really unique but just listen to some of the titles: "Your Bleeting Heart" (Sheep) and "You Make a Good Point" (Porcupine). Still not in love with this guy? Maybe this interview excerpt will help:

What first made you want to become an artist? I was just glad to have something to fall back on when my childhood aspiration of being a ninja mad scientist didn’t pan out. I still check Craigslist. You never know.

Lust: Vintage Riding Boots

I would kill right about now to have these boots available in my size!

Introductions: Lieblingslauf

On those days when I'm feeling particularly bored with my life, I like to head over to Heist's good friend, Lieblingslauf's blog to see what's new with her. Not to make myself feel any better, but just to make sure I know that my feelings are justified! Head over to her blog to see her amazing photography and the glorious life she's living over in Berlin! xoxo
