Eek, Hello Kitty dressed up as other Sanrio characters! Tooooo cute.

From the Japan LA newsletter:

"Sanrio is making some really cute stuff to celebrate their 50th Anniversary! We just got our first shipment of special 50th Anniversary items of Hello Kitty dressed as other Sanrio characters. This special collaboration was only available at Puroland, (Hello Kitty theme park), in Japan, but it is being made for the U.S. to celebrate the anniversary! So, what I am trying to say is this is a big deal, and these are very collectible items that will sell out quick!"

Lucy Roberts : Bespoke Mutant Animals on Etsy

No, you are not seeing double!

Two headedness might be an acquired cuteness but if a bunny can be super cute, then perhaps a two headed one can be twice as cute? Okay, maybe a stretch, but if you're looking for a unique gift item LucyRoberts on Etsy creates some wonderful plushes that mass market production dare not touch (which is why I love them so). Each plush is salvaged from clean, good quality thrift store & garage sale finds and brought to life Frankenstein's monster style. Well, maybe they aren't as ugly as Frankenstein's monster and aren't made out of body parts, but perhaps they too may be slightly misunderstood!

Take a look at some of the other great items from Lucy's shop:

Conjoined Sloths

Two-Headed Cardinal

Not all of the creations in the shop are conjoined, in fact, most are fun hybridizations of various animals, such as the ever illusive:

Lioncub Duckling

Kitty Kiwi

I recently purchased the two headed bunny pictured at the top of this post from Lucy's Etsy store and it is undoubtedly one of the coolest things that I own. The piece is stitched together cleanly and very securely, it looks great! This will certainly make a great conversation piece, as would be any item from the shop!

New Plushes from Uglydolls

Ket

Flatwoodsey



Wippy

Each character available in :
Plush keychains, $6
7" Little Uglies, $10
12" Classic, $20
2 foot, $50

Sweetdolls on Etsy + Giveaway (Win your very own Sweet Chick Sweet doll)

"Mary had a little lamb" Sweetdoll

I don't think there is anymore appropriately named product than Dawn's "Sweetdolls" which are the epitome of sweetness! Dawn is a Florida native who hand knits one of a kind dolls and rattles. As Dawn puts it, "all my dolls are made with love" and it's easy to see the care and fine attention to detail in pieces like the "Mary had a little lamb" duo above.

All Sweetdoll have an appealing color scheme and look perfectly crafted. Each doll also seems to have a unique feature: a precious little purse, a fun hat, funky patterned clothing. My favorite feature? The cute hairstyles! I love the sweet little bobs and buns the dolls have... adorableness!

Some of my favorite Sweet dolls are pictured below:

Miranda, Pepper and Violet

This fun, fashionable trio reminds me of me and my friends.
Ohhh, I am totally Miranda (but I'm not as cute)!

Pink Bear Hat

Little bear hat! Pink little bear hat... pink little bear hat with little pink ears...
pink little bear hat with little pink ears and pink hair! The cuteness just goes on and on forever....

Orange hair sweetdoll

Quite possibly my favorite Sweet doll evaaar.
Little hair buns with ribbons and an orange bob- awwwwww!

Cupcake Hat Doll

CUPCAKE HAT and a pink frilly dress, need I say more?
Oh yes, I do, there also a cherry on top! CUPCAKE HAAAAT :D

Frog Teddy

Love the sweet face on this teddy bear, made even cuter with a little froggy hood.
The brown and green are a beautiful combo and awwz, he even has a little belly. :)

Purple Sleepy Bear

I love the fun color scheme and pattern on the body of this bear,
and his face looks so innocent! And hes purple... how cute is that?

Puppy Rattle

Sleepy puppies... on rattles! Who doesn't love puppies (and sleepy ones at that)?!
This would make an amazing baby shower gift!
