friday favorites.

here are my friday favorites for this week, a tiny preview of all that will be 50-75% in just about 48 hours from now. please note: this entry is, in fact, a christmas miracle since i believe i am suffering from strep throat, still have about 17 presents to make — and wrap! — for tomorrow, we don't have a christmas tree and my cat just puked about eight inches from my face. yay! christmas!

• cool christmas cards. how great are these cards? if i didn't create my own digital card out of sheer laziness (handwriting? stamps? post office?), i would have bought these. shout out to justjenn who mentioned giant robot the other day. $12.95 for 10.

• a $100-dollar stocking. sure i am allergic to wool, but the design! i think i would slip my foot into one of these they are so great. love the skull version (simply a steal at just $76). i imagine they would suit a "teen" just fine. $96.

• creature. isn't this the thing from that bugs bunny cartoon? you know, the one in which bugs floats down the river? the one with the eveeel scientist? i loved that cartoon. $30.

• radko finial. your tree will be the bestest on the block topped with this finial. pretty awesome, huh? $92 (but it's collectible!).

• felt wreath. i bet one of you crafty crafters out there could make this. $29.
