Merry gLoveMas Day To Me

My family is celebrating Christmas together tomorrow so I spent yesterday mixing and baking a bazillion cookies and I also took a 2 hour walk and hunted gloves for my gLove Story Dolls. I was very successful and found a total of 33 gloves, 6 alone on my short walk from the store to the laundromat to wash them this morning, and 4 pairs among the group. My favorites are the boxing glove and the little knit mitten. I hit the mother lode in the parking lot behind the Bellevue Avenue and Valley Road shops. The still icy sidewalks and plowed snow piles made it challenging but I was super pleased with my haul. It felt like a great Christmas present to me!

Yes, Those Are Squirrel Underpants

So last year it wasn't the holidays without the Yodeling Pickle. Well, this year it isn't the holidays without Squirrel Underpants. Are you sick and tired of squirrels running naked in the trees around your house? Have you had to hide your child's eyes when a tiny furry streaker crosses the sidewalk in front of you? We’ve got the answer, Squirrel Underpants! Each pair of tiny briefs has a 3" waist and is made of 100% cotton. Also good for hamsters, frogs and gerbils. Just arrived along with other old and new items from Accoutrements.

Chill With These

I had a Batter Finger emergency (needed a couple for an order) and the fine folks at Fred inc. added them to a back order of Gin and Titonic Ice Cube Trays and I threw in some more Fuzz Scarves as well. They all came in today!

Newest Item

These super fun ephemera surprise balls are a take-off of the classics usually made with crepe paper. These surprise balls are made with strips of vintage fabric from curtains and are filled with a variety of small toys, stickers, ribbon, and lots of beads. Each ball has the same variety of items but different specific toys and ribbons so that each ephemera surprise ball is one-of-a-kind. Great party favors, Thanksgiving table decoration/keep the kids busy, stocking stuffer, or special little gift. They will have you dancing when you unwind the yards and yards of fabric to reveal the contents!

GenZ Sock Monkeys

These new GenZ Sock Monkeys are created with babies in mind. No button eyes on these guys! Embroidered eyes mean no choking hazard and tons more hugging! Of course GenY and GenX love them too! Fresh from the sock monkey factory here in the Garden State, grab one for your special someone this holiday! Just listed in the shops and available at the store!
