Functional Art

Its my addiction- well ok ONE of my addictions. I have over the years discovered that I have a fondness for things that look, well, like things they are not.  Or if its just an obscure version of normal.
I have collected CaRRoL BoYeS art for years now here are just a very few of my collection:




She is a South Africa artist but her stuff can be bought internationally. I just love her stuff and can't leave SA without bringing a few pieces home with me!
Other functional weird things in my house that I love , my hand vac, my clock, Elijahs new Banana toothbrush, Elijah's Egg cup( by Alessi) :








and my newest purchase> I just LOVE Boon products and this one is no exception:

BOON GRASS

And if you know me , this also applies to dressing my son, particularly accessories like hats and socks:








So what I am saying is: It is an addiction but its ok for you to be an enabler and leave comments / links to other cool/ crazy products that you have seen that you think fall into this category that I would probably love. Its Okizzay.

  7. Your post made me re-connect to ETSY. I found the cutest hat, a teenage-mutant ninja turtle knitted hat with a big brim, that I am going to order for Link. I bet you could even make one like it now with all your knitting skills! Thanks for the reminder about ETSY!
    Finally, Lijah does have the coolest, most unique accessories!
