Go shopping at Fickle Food
I’ve abused my friend Jo over at FickleFood. She won a blog review in my Tuesday Teaser contest several weeks ago. I procrastinated and got distracted and forgot to get back on track. My apologies, Jo! I promise I’ll try to do better in the future.
Fickle Food is for all of those people who revel in finding unique gifts for every occassion. Jo should be your best friend this month if that’s you because she has a knack for finding wonderful items that I never see anywhere else. I assume she must have some secret sources that she uses to find her exclusives. I can only show you a sample here, but I hope it whets your appetite for more. You can literally find something for everyone among the beautiful stuff she’s reviewed.
Having been in pest control for over a quarter of a decade, I have a collection of bug jewelry. I’m thinking I need to freshen up my wardrobe with a French-cuff shirt so I can wear these bee cuff links on the next occasion when I have to dress up. Yeah, they’re made for the man with a sense of whimsy, but we steal their shirts don’t we? Why not their jewelry, too? Maybe you have a man in your life who would appreciate them (and you could borrow them for yourself, too!) If you’re too girly to be into bugs, don’t despair, though. I give all of the sea glass I find while snorkeling to a friend who makes and sells jewelry at local craft fairs. Now you can have some too, or select a special piece for someone’s stocking this Christmas. Every piece reflects the uniqueness that time and tide wash into this delicate and beautiful sea glass jewelry. Jo even has jewelry for people who don’t appreciate beauty in their bodily adornments. I’m thinking of teens and pre-teens who want their jewelry to make a bit of a shocking statement. I can’t imagine anyone over twenty wearing this disgusting tongue jewelry, but I know a few warped young people who certainly would.
Most of the items that caught my eye today are jewelry but don’t let that limit you when you check out Jo’s place. She’s got so much more than just that. You can find unique holiday decorations, baby and pet gifts, home decor and some off-the-wall gift suggestions. Her front page today features some truely beautiful Victorian Christmas ornaments and she recently found a cathedral bundt cake pan that would make a spectacular centerpeice for your holiday party. If you’re needing inspiration for your holiday shopping, go let Jo spark your imagination.

What? You don’t think you’d like the tongue earrings? With seven dogs I’ve gotten accustomed to having at least one tongue on me at any given time…
Thanks for the great review! Give your fur-buddies a big smooch for me!

How did you feel about bugs as a child? Just wondering.
Here’s some good stuff.

I’m content with puppy tongues, Jo, but I don’t want to wear one, lol! I really think those must be a hit with younger fols, though.
I was working on your post last Tuesday night when the first warnings came out that we needed to disconnect sensitive electronics because of the storm, so I had to rush to finish posting and unplug. I’m glad you were happy with the results!

I played with doodlebugs and mole crickets and grasshoppers as a kid, Val, but I think most kids do, don’t they? I certainly never anticipated my career path during those tender years, though.
Sorry about missing Good Stuff last week. I’ll post your contribution along with the new stuff on Thursday of this week.
