Pick of the Day

Leather Laptop Sleeve

Once again, yesterday’s post got me in the mood for the one today too. Reminiscing about the country music of my youth, listening to the lone train whistle blow down the tracks, and this “leather-look” laptop sleeve takes me back to Kenny Rogers and The Gambler.

If cowboys carried laptops on their horses, I can guarantee they would have a laptop sleeve like this protecting it from the dust of the trail.

Western Tooled iPhone4 Case

When I look at this great “tooled leather look” iPhone case, I’m whisked back to the days of my childhood when we went to the Fort Worth Rodeo and Stock Show every year, everyone wore tooled leather belts just like this, and being “country” wasn’t cool. “Now I still act and look the same, what you see ain’t nothing new.”

Whether you were country before, or you’re country now, celebrate it with this cute little iPhone case. Because, baby, country is cool!

Let there be Peace on Earth

After yesterday’s post about Peace on Earth, I just had to share one other design that popped up while searching “Peace on Earth”. It’s special to me because it’s by one of my favorite artists – I even have one of her prints hanging on my wall. You should check out all the other wonderful artwork by DudaDaze!

“Let there be peace on earth… and let it begin with me.” The sentiment brings to mind John Lennon’s Happy Xmas (War Is Over). Peace on Earth begins when all the wars end. Peace on Earth begins with me. There’s a Christmas Peace I can “imagine”! :-)

 

Christmas Wish

I’m going to let you in on a Christmas secret. (No, it’s not what I’m giving Dean for Christmas ;-) ) It’s my all-time favorite Christmas song since I was a child. I can remember watching this when it first aired and being blown away, not only by the unique combination but also by the message. It stayed with me for days afterward, and now that I’m older I understand why.

Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can…
I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too.

Now that I’ve got you in the Christmas spirit, I want to share two designs that remind me of my favorite song. It’s only fitting since it’s two songs in one with two uniquely wonderful singers.

May you have Peace this Christmas and all through the New Year.

Santa Baby

What says “sexy” better than Eartha Kitt’s velvety smooth voice? Maybe this cute comic strip style “Mrs. Claus” pin-up ornament? Well, we’ve got both for you for our Sexy Saturday post. I can imagine Santa hurrying down the chimney to give her all the things on Eartha’s list, can’t you?

Back to the Good Ol’ Days Cookbook

Have you ever wanted to go back to the good old days, watching your Memaw cooking in the kitchen… and “helping” by standing on a stool and pouring ingredients in a bowl or adding the sprinkles to her very special cookies? Now you can, with this great cookbook binder! It’s a great place to gather your favorite family recipes and pass them down to your grandchildren as they help you by standing on a stool and pouring ingredients into a bowl…

 

Send me to Margaritaville

Ok, I’ll be the first to admit it. I do love Christmas as much as the next person, but give me a Christmas that’s green! The weather’s getting colder and my thoughts are turning to warmer climates. The Florida Keys, Caribbean, Virgin Islands, the Gulf Coast – Corpus Christi, Padre Island . . . I am a Texas girl, after all – I love our Texas Coast in the fall! Anywhere I can dig my toes in the sand, sit back, relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of the busy season. If I can’t be there in person, I can at least be there in spirit!

This beautiful palm tree at sunset wrapped canvas set is the perfect way to escape to St. Lucia in the Caribbean in your own home. Ahhhh, take me away to Margaritaville!

Purrfect Christmas

Today’s PotD is a Christmas design again. This pretty ornament would be a perfect gift for any cat lover in your life and it will definitely make their Christmas tree stand proud. ;-) After all, a cat person’s Christmas can’t be purrfect without cat decorations or cat songs.

Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat’s the only cat
who knows where it’s at.
Everybody’s pickin’ up on that feline beat,
’cause everything else is obsolete.

MEOWWY CHRISTMAS! :D

 

Under the Sea

Most of us have been fascinated by the beautiful submarine world since we were kids. All the colors and life forms that have the priviledge of being able to breathe under water make a lot of people stand and watch in awe.

This design brings back not only the fascination with the world and life under the sea but also the imagination of children who are able to find a new exciting adventure everywhere.

Green Poison

Today is really exciting because we’re posting our very first Blackberry Case design as our PotD (Pick of the Day)! :D

Green and black is one of my favorite color combinations so I couldn’t resist when I saw this. The artist calls the style “cybergoth” but I think even “steampunk” lovers might find it really appealing. It definitely has that factor X that made it worth for me to share it with the world. ;-) And because I see this design as a new, modern take on evergreen classics like witches or fantasy in general, I decided to do the same for the music. The vial with the green liquid in the girl’s hand made me think of Poison so the song is quite obvious but it’s a new, different cover by Tarja Turunen of the original song by Alice Cooper. :)
