sure, sometimes it's important to stop and smell the roses.

othertimes, it's important to just stop...and take a seat, darlings. monday's a good day to give it a whirl.

did you know there are magical places in the world where jumbo washi exists? it's true, and it possesses the power to create multi-striped wonderlands on ice cream trucks, staircases, buildings, bicycles and more.

unfortunately for me, the united states is not one of these enchanted lands. too bad, because i have the perfect driving coat and hair-do for that mini - of course.

this holiday, we gave our cats the gift of a cardboard DJ turntable. we believed this would catapult us into the stratosphere of "best cat parents ever," however, it only met the approval of our dear veruschka.

luckily, verusch knows how to spin a good set.

 yes, she's available for bookings. will work for tuna.

"cheers!" from the official WHORANGE welcoming committee. feel free to join in!

here's wishing you a glorious 2013! let's keep it cozy and creative.

the creative trio over at J3 productions have done it again! they created something truly delectable by planting a little holiday pop-up site on the intertubes. i guarantee that it will put a sparkly spring in your potentially-already-totally-burnt-out-this-season step.

click here to check it out. it's a playground of fun with music and glitter and kitties and more.

and, there are amazingly fine downloadable gift tags! what's not to love?

and if you are still looking for a last minute gift, why not gift J3's at your leisure zine? it's super unique and will definitely place you on the coolest gift giver list.

thank you J3 productions! here's winkin' at you, kids!

isn't she?

perhaps you're an adventurer or just dream of being one.

whichever you are, begin your escape by watching moonrise kingdom and then stock up on some must have getaway goodies.

all of the gear listed below is for boys and girls. just be careful where you point that slingshot. you may create a wildflower paradise where you least expect it.

venture forth, kittens!
