Great Gifting

Who doesn’t like a clever gift? We’re always on the outlook for cute things. This evening, we were around the Sawtelle and Olympic area and went into a store we really enjoy. They feature a bevy of the “Angry Little Asian Girl” shirts and purses. They have one tote we love with a cranky cartoon and the words “I Hate People” on it.

At any rate, we were sent this info online and found it very cut.

Piggy Bank
as if being created from an original mid-century mold isn't enough to make this spectacular piggy bank special, it comes with money inside. no, really, each piggy bank comes with honest-to-goodness take it to the store and spend it american moolah inside. the amount will vary, but don't be surprised to find a few coins, or possibly, a $100 bill. $28 from Pamela Barsky. www.pamelabarsky.com

mid century messy sign
approx 8 x 10, this cool sign has a baked on silkscreen finish. hangs from an attached hook on the back. $28

And no, we don't like the sign because it's particularly appropriate for us -- our house is WWII issue, built in 1943!
