The Mice Will Play

This week I got the very exciting news that I was chosen as one of 5 participants (+1 guest) to be a part of Truly Nolen's Mouse Car Parade!

If you live in South Florida and you see the parade this Saturday (July 24th) wave to us (and if you're on Twitter follow the event at #MousecarParade.

In honor of this event, I am dedicating the rest of my week's posts to pests - creepy, crawly, scurrying and yet somehow kinda cute pests.  And since I get to ride around in a life size mouse this weekend - today is all about Mice.

See - mice can be cute...at least in "The Pest" Series Etchings by Achiozza. 

The chicest mouse I have ever seen.  The Cosmic Mouse Ring by RFXStudios on Etsy.

 

The House of Mouse makes absolutely irresistible felt mice. I am especially taken with Anakin Skywalker Mouse (above) and Hannibal Lecter Mouse (below). 

Getting married?

Straight from the U.K., you can even have mice as your wedding cake topper:

However, if we're talking edible mice (who would ever think I would be saying that...), I think this cupcake by Martha Stewart (tutorial on Bunny Cakes) is perfect. Though almost too adorable to eat. 

And finally...

Have Your Ever Seen Such A Sight In Your Life?

Yesterday was my 30th birthday. Today's quick post is in honor of 30th birthdays everywhere:

I'm not the biggest fan of the pointy cone birthday party hats, but I would wear this handmade birthday crown by Glam Hatter any day. 

30 Tulips make for a lovely 30th birthday gift.  Prestat in the UK has the prettiest bouquet of tulips around, but any local florists will do special bunches of 30 for you. 

 

"He Told Her He'd Lasso the Moon"

The moon would be a perfect gift, but so is this Glicee by Jessica Jane Sublett.  It is a beautiful tribute to the 30's and such a chic gift for a flirty thirty.

Kharygoarts creates custom made cake toppers that can match any style, personality and occasion.  I love the detail in her pieces. You can see the time and love put into each one.

And finally....

P.S. The Frisky is a favorite web site of mine and in November they posted a list of "30 Skills Every Woman Should Have Before Turning 30." I am happy to say I have mastered (or pretend to have mastered) every one - how about you?
