Definitely. The boutique museum is what I'm all about, and the Mutter is a prime example of that. Isn't that shop Halloween also in Philly? HIM would like that one I think.
Edit: Yup, it is! https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/alspho...7607024037041/

That's why I posted it! Also it was part of the consideration in buying it

Did you end up buying it, then? I could probably just send you mine with those pigeon candle holders, if you didn't. But I'm guessing that's your kitchen table and not a strangely homey antique store. Those pears look good. Also what is that book with the darling cover?

The pears are paper mache. And that's my date planner. I got it in the papyrus store in the mall.
Keep yours! Half the fun is being twinsies. I didn't think it would be so big, when I saw your photo. I guess I thought of it more in terms of a lip balm pot.

Oh yeah, it's a big sizable thing. Most of them are, actually! I also have one that looks like a pocketwatch, and one that is... a patridge? Maybe? Definitely some bird.
One of my favorites is this little frog, which is probably more along the size lines you're thinking of.

Not a lip balm pot, but a solid perfume pot so just as well?
Oh, and my absolute favorite, this elegant little doe.

Even in times where all of my Avon bottles were put in storage in the interest of simplicity and paring down, she's never left. She's currently sitting atop a pile of antique blue english textbooks (because that's an oddly specific collection I wound up with somehow?) alongside a pencil sharpener that looks like a diving helmet.
Uh, so... It's not really on-topic for the thread but... life update? My thread is dead, so. Preston and I are officially moving in together. That's a thing that's happening. Next month, actually. We're doing this. I'm doing this. Aaaaa. Also, I'm graduating community college, but I think that might be something I had posted about on tumblr, so you might already know that. I don't think I posted the moving thing. I'm weird about what I do and don't post. I post the banal stuff but overlook the more major life events? I don't get me either. It's ok.

Eeee! Congrats! On both fronts. What's next? Transfer? Focusing on work?
Are you moving in with the roommate? Or a new place where you can have cats? I suspect it's a whole new world of decorating...
Also the deer is hella cute. Have you seem that schlitt's creek ad on tumblr? I felt like the avon bottles would do well in that contest.

I'm putting college on hold for now. I could write paragraphs on why, but I'll let this stand as my reason: I went to pick up my cap and gown last week. Just driving onto campus made me so tense that taking a deep breath hurt my shoulders. In other words, college was destroying me and my mental state and even though my grades weren't suffering, I was, and I just can't do that anymore.
The roommate, so thankfully, will be gone. I really can't remember what I might have told you about him before, but he's an alcoholic trainwreck. And just kind of a shitty person to boot. I'm so fucking tired of him, you have no idea (not because I stigmatize addiction, he's just a shit head. The "alcoholic" bit is relevant bc he's even more obnoxious when drunk, and he doesn't pay rent bc he spends all his money on beer). So it will just be me, Preston, and Sammy.
I have ads disabled, so no clue what that ad is, I'm afraid!
How are things going with you?

Haha.... I had a very long post typed out, them misclicked. I'll save the shop talk for tomorrow I guess. Here's the meat of what I said:
That sounds great (and understandable)
Me? Just non - payed museum work at the moment. On the plus side, chemically, things are good, balanced. An improvement. I miss having a cat terribly. I miss the love.

Ugh, I hate when that happens.
I'm so glad to hear you're feeling well! And I trust you're finding some fulfillment and/or enjoyment from the museum work?
As for the cat... I hate to state the obvious, but have you considered adopting one? I understand if it's "too soon" - the longing for a cat can often come well before you're actually ready. But I also know that having a pet can really help you to deal with the loss of another. It's never a replacement, just another creature to love and be loved by.

AW! That blue one with the bunnies totally reminds me of this fabric scrap I have lying around somewhere. It has flowers rather than bunnies, but it's that same aesthetic and color scheme.
Speaking of floral scraps, a while back you asked me what to do with pins/buttons. When I was giving you that list, I actually came up with a few things I hadn't thought of before. Especially handy for me, as my backpack (my main pin receptacle) is being retired for the time being. So I went ahead and took my own advice with a hoop and some cute fabric and... well, this is how it turned out.

Would need to make more to fit all of my collection, and I still haven't decided if these are all the right choices, but I'm pretty happy with it!
Ah, I understand completely. That's a different issue entirely. Well... you're already spending a lot of energy volunteering, but there are always no-kill shelters that could use some extra hands to care for and clean up after the kitties. It's not the same, for sure, but it could potentially be better than nothing until you're in a situation where the decision to adopt is your call.

I really like it!
I'm gonna get my butt in gear and post what I meant to before. There were a lot of links so I'm going to post and edit a few times.
Those phone covers are by livework, who I just discovered through that website I posted a bit further up. I thought you might like they're stationary, especially the pretty solid color planners: Small Minimal Planner - Omoi Zakka Shop
I thought you might particularly like their caturday section though:
cat - Omoi Zakka Shop
you might also like their towels... but boy howdy, those are expensive. The washcloths are more reasonable, though:
Yoshii Blue Green Linen Blend Stripe Washcloth - Omoi Zakka Shop
me, I love these pens, which are... livework:
Grid Pattern Pens - Omoi Zakka Shop
-
the website also has washi tape which... I am really obsessed with thinking about right now for no good reason? I guess I got to thinking of it when I stumbled upon a website called casabento which had washi tape in such beautiful, saturated colors that I wanted to eat them. Seriously. But have you seen this tumblr? There's so much a crafty person (read: not me) can do with it:
http://washitapecrafts.tumblr.com/
so I ended up on etsy... wait, on second thought maybe that's how I fell down this hole? little alien's tumblr featuring washi tape? don't know how I got to casabento, though, if that's the case. Anyway, I went on to etsy and I ended up favoriting a lot of washi tape, a lot of it from a 'nordic' series, and a lot of them I thought you might like, like these:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1828412...?ref=hp_mod_rf
https://www.etsy.com/listing/2050265...=cat_gallery_6
https://www.etsy.com/listing/2050261...=cat_gallery_7
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1827824...=cat_gallery_8
https://www.etsy.com/listing/2142932...cat_gallery_11
https://www.etsy.com/listing/2314904...cat_gallery_14
https://www.etsy.com/listing/2287835...cat_gallery_11
https://www.etsy.com/listing/2238790...=cat_gallery_7
this is my personal favorite:

Man, you sure do know me... They have some really cute stuff there (I think I forgot to comment when you first posted the link to the site?). I'm sad about the prices, though... but maybe it could be viewed as sort of a curation for browsing, then I try to find similar things on Amazon or elsewhere for cheaps.  But yeah, I'm definitely gonna have to give this site a good look when it comes time to get some nice things for my apartment. I don't want to buy much yet until I actually know where I'll be living and know what the space looks like. Chances are what I get will be the same either way, but I'd hate to drop dollars on some cute towels only to find that a different color scheme would look better once I actually see the place.
Now brb, gotta go cry about those washrags (why don't they come in hand towel size???).
EDIT: OH NO, WHY DID I BROWSE??? That is amazing. That would be so perfect if I have a window with an ugly view (one place I just looked at had a scenic overlook of a gas station  ). (crying forever)
EDIT #2: (ugly sobbing)
EDIT #3: Ok, I found the hand towels. If I die young, bury me in linens, lay me dooown in a bed of more linens.

yes, that window sticker is how I found the site! so neat.
There were only two other things that I was going to post I think.
one) that deer is hella cute and reminds me of a hella cute box I saw at target on Friday: http://m.target.com/p/threshold-cera...U9cBoCZ3zw_wcB
and two) if we are talking about vintage perfume accoutrements, I love love the old Corday Unicorn in Captivity series stuff:
https://www.google.com/search?q=cord...iw=360&bih=592
they even had a ceramic unicorn shaped box, too.
I've got to get me some of that, one day.

The unicorn in captivity accessories that Corday made for one of their perfume lines in the60s and 70s, like this ring.

most of it was jewelry, but they had other things, like small boxes.
omg, I hadn't seen this one before. Waaaant:

Oh jeez those are amazing. I have no pretty things to contribute, but I'll keep my eye out.
I did almost buy a little unicorn bust to mount on my wall in nyc, but I resisted the temptation.
