A great tacky planter treasure trove find on the www! The recently discovered Catholic planters page. Wow - even the Infant of Prague is there, and many many more ... so awesome.




So here's the latest tacky planter ... isn't she cute? I think she's an angel, but I guess she could be Mary - she's so cute I couldn't resist ... It's hard to really call her tacky because she's so cute, but I think her falsey eyelashes are the qualfier.

happy national library week!

Aw! I just heard the sad sad news that Dial-A-Song is no more! They Might Be Giants have been a favorite of mine for years and years. I guess the mechanical insides of the machine that would play a song for you if you called 718-387-6962 has gone kaput. I am so sorry Dial-A-Song I so took you for granted. I used to call it when I was babysitting ... at work ... at my parents house ...
Farewell coolest band offering ever!

I found interesting packaging for a seed packet found at a science project source site.
I'm trying to figure out what mustard we were supposed to be confusing it with???

Just for fun - TSG's St. Paddy's Day Mug Shots N-joy!

Major victory in the land of tacky planters!!! MAJOR VICTORY I TELLS YA. Check the 50's teens on the phone matching love seat tacky planters. This is the most I have ever spent $19.99 for both. Despite the great expense - I think it must be a good use as any for leftover birthday money. Go team. I plan to pot something in them upon their arrival. I brought my whale tacky planter and my owl headvase style tacky planter in to live on my desk at work. They make me happy all day sitting there staring back at me. I was graciously given two violets from my friend "Hot Donna" and one went to live in the whale. I still need to decide which planter to use for the second one. Have you seen the awesome shamrocks being sold in the grocery store for st. patty's day lately? I picked up a black shamrock (Oxalis Triangularis) and it is totally badass. The last shamrock plant I had lived for about 3 years in the badass telephone tacky planter.

Something new to the world of Leisurama (that is, our house here in Kittenfactory, Michigan) ... an Orchid. I have always wanted one, but am far too cheap to spend $30 on a houseplant I, or any four-legged domestic critter living with me, would surely kill. How could I justify the expense this time?? I didn't have to - I found an ebay seller that mails two plants for under $5.00. I already had the pots, and the moss to grow them in was under $6. Wish me luck. The photo posted is what is SUPPOSED to happen if I take good care of them. Go team.

every commercial needs about 300% more bunnies:

How is it that Russian spam finds my inbox? It's in the Cyrillic alphabet and everything. Poo on that. Have you seen reruns of 80's religious programming where they city Revalation and some kind of mention of a bear, and they swear that Russia is going to start the next world war? They need to edit their bible prophecies for the rapture-obsessed peeps of today. The rest of us can all play Tetris.
