Thanks to Lucy Dog Designs for sending in the link to this little gem of a pair of hugely popular Dachshund salt and pepper shakers:A
tiny magnet holds these two dachshund hounds in a big smooch. What a
cute pair they make with their lips locked together! And as every
dachshund-lover knows, these lively playful pooches may be a little
stubborn but they are always there for you in a pinch. (...of salt that
is!).
Thanks Dachshund Lovers for sharing the love by spreading the word about our cute pooches.
Oh too cute! A collection of adorable salt n' pepper kissing pooches
to decorate your picnic table. I love the chihuahua one (because I have
a chihuahua!) but there are other doggies to choose from - doxies,
boston terriers, bulldogs, labs - and even a few non-dogs, like
turtles, frogs and piggies. $13.95 at Catching Fireflies
Thanks birdies for showcasing our puppies in love!
If you are forced into using a pencil to do any kind of accounting, you had better find something to make it interesting. Catching a glimpse of the large red matchstick head on the end of the pencil now and then is enough to make you chuckle. You just have to be sure to sharpen the right end, otherwise you might be starting an accidental fire.

Physics teaches that rainbows are created when the sunlight reflects off of raindrops, breaking up the light into different wavelengths of color. This atmospheric phenomenon is most likely to occur immediately after a rain shower, when the sun is shining again, but condensation still lingers in the air.
The rare and lovely appearance of rainbows makes them incredibly magical for children and adults alike. Perhaps this magic first inspired the notion of a pot of at the end of the rainbow.
Dating back to old Europe, the legend of the pot of gold is claimed enthusiastically . They'll tell you that fairies put the gold there and then the leprechauns guard it.
Well, even if you aren't lucky enough to spot a rainbow this spring, you can still take a tour of some fantastic photos of these magical color beams at Rainbow Sitings.com.
Or if you prefer to create your own luck, check out what what our snazzy solar powered Rainbow Maker can create in your home...ld
Either way, we wish you a wonderful rainbow connection this St. Patty's Day. Take it Kermit...

Catching fireflies is a place that makes me happy!! On a dreary winter day looking at pretty windchimes and "hanging things" as I call them that help me to remember spring and summer are coming soon. Its a place where I can always find the BEST gift for special teachers, friends and family as well as a little something for ME to brighten my day. Its a place where you can listen to upcoming musicians and view cool functional art. Its a place where I can take my 10 year old daughter when she gets a great report card and get her a special treat. Catching fireflies is one of my favorite places! - Annette Manwaring

My friend Amy Peters purchased these very popular scented pencils for her kiddos and raved about their magical inspiration qualities on her blog.
"My kids have been going crazy drawing with them! If they look tired in these pictures it's because they have been waking up early to finish their pictures...I'm not joking. To truly understand the gravity of this accomplishment you have to realize that Kyra is usually PULLED out of bed each morning. I'm not sure how long this creative burst is going to go on for, but it has sure been worth the cost of the Smencils."
Thank you Amy for sharing your sweet story with us. Love the fun art work!
If you've got a special story about one of our firefly goodies, we'd love to hear it! Just drop us a line so we can share your gift giving wisdom with the rest of our whimsical world.
