Lucy Mouse is complete!

Thank you so much Anna! She turned out exactly how I envisioned her. I can't wait for Amanda to receive her! :) What do you all think? Isn't Lucy Mouse the best? If you want your own custom mouse, please check out Anna's etsy shop, TheHouseOfMouse.

Etsy feature: TheHouseOfMouse

My BFF Amanda's birthday was last week and I was trying to find something super cute and super original to get her for her present. We are both I Love Lucy addicts (to say the least) and so as I was on Etsy and found this shop called TheHouseOfMouse, run by Anna Greaves out of The Netherlands.

I couldn't stop giggling in my cubicle at the little mice she makes. I was making all my coworkers come check them out. They're fantastically made and so very detailed, I love the attention she gives these little mice. Also, she packages them up in little red boxes with certificates. Can't say enough about this shop! :)

My faves? Executioner Mouse, Groucho Marx Mouse, Hannibal Lecter Mouse, Van Gogh Mouse, Edward Scissorpaws Mouse.. ok, so I could go on forever.. but seriously these little mice are too cute.

Anyway, I asked Anna if she would make me a Lucy mouse for Amanda. :) And of course, she was more than happy to oblige and very excited to make this new mouse. And I'm excited for it to be done and Amanda to receive her. :)

Thanks so much Anna!

Etsy=my love

Oh I heart Etsy. If you've never been it's a great site to find home made goodies or vintage finds. I have a lot of time on my hands during work so I usually scour for some vintage finds or great original artwork. I've decided to take another step in going green and try to end my dependency on papertowels. (More on that later) I thought, what a great way to help was to go for linen napkins. I am KICKING myself for not picking up this great set of green and yellow vintage napkins yesterday so I'm feeling better now that I got the set you now see here. :) Something about those little yellow chicks make me smile!!

Anyway, I figure getting some super cute napkins ($8.50 including shipping) will eventually pay for themselves with the cost of papertowels and napkins over time. Plus, hello..they are WAY cute.
