The Last Unicorn

Remember when I blogged about revisiting one of my favorite childhood movies? Well, The Last Unicorn was another & still is a firm favorite of mine. Watching it always made me cry buckets & it still does... Just watching the video above made me cry too! I'm such a cry baby.

I recently read the book too & am delighted that the producer & director of the movie kept very true to the book & translated it very well for the silver screen which is such a rare thing. I'm hoping to find the movie somewhere here in KL but I think I might have to resort to Amazon. Wish me luck!

Lifesize Dollhouse

Heather Benning's art piece entitled "Dollhouse" was actually created from an old, abandoned farmhouse right in the middle of a field somewhere with one of its walls cut open & sealed with plexiglass to give that quintessential dollhouse view.

Didn't you always wish you could step into a dollhouse? Well, I did & didn't realise till I saw these pictures that I still do!

Molly Mutt

If you've had to deal with cleaning a stinky pet bed, I'm sure you're gonna be as excited as I was when I first saw this great idea on MadeByGirl. Here's an excerpt I took off MadeByGirl:

"Molly Mutt is way more than just a dog bed company, they have made a revolutionary dog duvet & stuff sack that defines green living for your pet. These duvets are a great way to keep old stuff/clothing/towels/cushions from ending up in landfills (Roughly 8% of all landfill mass is textiles), while giving your pup a cool & clean place to sleep!"


How cool is this idea? And for you crafty mavens out there, you can even make it yourself with the DIY Kit by Molly Mutt! I'm loving this ingenious idea more and more.

Re-velope

Thought I'd share with you this great concept of eco-friendly envelopes which you be reused & resent over & over again.

How it works:
The re-velope is stitched together sailcloth material. It is sealed with double sided sticky tape and if you wanted to, you could stitch it closed for extra security. The original re-velope has a window on the front with a slit in the back where you slide in a piece of paper with the address and return address. Stamps go on the front, as normal, and you can either peel them off or stick more on top for the next time around. And, unless you write a really long letter, the re-velope mails with regular postage. (Info taken off here)

What a great way to save the environment right? Check out the Re-velope's website for purchasing info if you're interested. I know I am!
