Surprise Delight Joy has got me thinking of Halloween (my very favorite holiday). I think her primitive, whimsical little creations are very sweet…I especially love the little star ornaments. Cuteness!

These are so freakin’ cute, I can hardly stand it. AnthroPoMorphCo makes these whimsical wine charms, buttons, jewelry and things with sassy veggies “drinky-poos” and “gourds of goth”. She also sells her illustrations at her Cafe Press and Zazzle shops.

How cute are these?! Not your mama’s sock monkeys! Toronto based Monkey House has some of the sassiest sock monkeys around. Madge and Sylvia (pictured above) are my all time faves, but she has many others to choose from on her Etsy shop. Love them!

My next plush obsession is Amsterdam based, The House of Mouse. Anna, creates sweet little mice, each with their own personalities. The perfect gifts for your favorite artist, golfer, ballerina, gardener, or Beatles fan (she’ll even do custom work!). Go to her Etsy shop to see more.



Last, but not least, is my favorite local plush designer. Luisa, creator of Pock-it Palz, manages to balance her high school schedule with making some very fun plushy creations. Her designs have been shown in art galleries in L.A., Seattle and Chicago since she was 11 years old… Rotofugi in Chicago has been carrying her line since 2004, and since, her toys have become quite collectible! Great work, Luisa!

I’m totally in love with this chicken pillow….and all the sweet little appliqued things at UK based Poppy Treffry. Tea cosies, coffee cosies, and egg cosies. Yep! Egg cosies people. How cute is that?! I’m just smitten. Her site is adorable too.
