Tattoos
I really like tatoos and while I'm in awe of complex multi-color designs, I also appreciate the minimalist approach. I like these star tatoos a woman was sporting at a recent festival. They kind of remind me of silk stocking seams.

Boyfriend in a Bottle
These struck me as really funny. Boyfriend or Girlfriend in a bottle. You can get yours at GnomeSweeeetGnome's Esty shop. They even have Zombie's in a bottle. I love miniatures. I have no idea why, I just do.
Beautiful birdhouses
