Last year my Granny gave me a bunch of doilies that were made by my Great Grandmother, in the hopes I would take care of them. I have, but only because I’m not using them. They are safely packed away – for what, I’ll never know. I’ll tell you one thing though, I will never fashion a dress out of them.

I love my children more than anything, but I am not one of those people who keep their umbilical cord, first curl or teeth.

Yes, I’m looking at you.

No thank you, not me. There’s just something about keeping molted part and pieces I find extremely eerie and demented.

Yes. I am looking at you.

Why not nail clippings to while you’re at it?

Yes. YOU.

But I digress.

Someone, somewhere will find this to be a fabulous idea.

Kinda like hanging their baby’s first shoe from the rear view mirror, only NOT.

This is a pair of Victorian inspired blackened cameo Genuine baby teeth earrings. The teeth have been cleaned and sanitized and are set on a black velvet pillow resting on a blackened cameo.

Yes, ladies you can wear your child’s molars on your ears.

The ultimate Helicopter Mom gift, if you ask me.

Mother’s Day is coming up. Too old? Meh. Just get in a bar fight or slug someone during a hockey game then just glue those babies on a set of earrings.

Thanks Candace Trew Calming for sending us this one!

Need I say more?

Because seriously? Look at this thing? Someone took the time to knit this  instead of just cut a chunk of fleece into an odd ball shape with too-long arms. This tank top blanket may not keep you as warm as the Snuggie, but your couch definitely will be.

P.S. Wicked photoshop job on the couch dress font… the dress completely disappears from behind the letters. Just sayin’.

Thanks to Mom-O-Matic for sending this in!

I don’t know what would posess a woman to quilt herself a fancy-shmancy gun case, but that’s exactly what Faith sent us the other day, courtesy of “Not Your Daddy’s Gun Case!”
