Andrew Yang's Dolls of Anna Wintour & Grace Cottington

I have a Courtney Love doll that I just love – it's a bit rougher than these "couture" versions but the idea as a whole amuses me.
These dolls by Andrew Yang are so fun – but if he had wanted to be a bit more accurate with Grace, he would have left off the eyebrows! ;-) See the whole collection here.

I want to hang these all around my desk at the office so I can just point at them when needed. ;-P

The prettiest handsoap ever

 

 

When you consider that you're supposed to wash your hands long enough to sing "Happy Birthday" to yourself, these soap rings seem like an ideal alternate timer. By the time they're completely dissolved, you're clean and smelling sweet. Could be a fun thing to have in the bathroom at a wedding shower – by designer Kyeok Kim.

Hankerchief cards

  

These charming kerchief "cards" by Bird & Banner could be fun to send to someone as a usable keepsake or wall art. You can buy them here at their Etsy store.
