Site to See: Dear Blank, Please Blank

"We had this idea for a website, mostly because Hans had a bad experience. So we built it, and now you're here... Welcome." That's Hans, as in Hans Johnson, presumably written by Jared Wunsch, the co-founders of the website that is about to eat the rest of your afternoon. Dear Blank, Please Blank is the best time-waster I've found in months (though I am particularly adept at this task).

Since these pictures ARE essentially reading... I'll keep it short. The content of Dear Blank, Please Blank is user-generated, and pretty self-explanatory, which means that, while predominantly hilarious, it can also be dumb. The best part: because we all want to feel like our opinion matters, DBPB offers these eloquent options for your clicking pleasure: How Dare They, You're a Douche, Hilarious, I Like This, and Umm, WTF?!. Because sometimes the writer deserves a high-five, and others, a slap to the face.

And if you're really, really loving this, you can purchase these letterpressed prints from Etsy, in collaboration with Sapling Press (though half of them are just photshopped by DeMilked).

"Submissions are moderated by Jared's cat Louie. If your submissions aren't being approved, it's because Louie is now accepting cans of tuna fish as bribes for approvals (four cans usually gets one submission approved.) Alternately, you can try rewriting your submissions, only this time make them funny."

Also, Attack of the Cute. Same guys, different site.

Hanging Happiness: Mobiles by Starcraft

Etsy is one of my favorite online market places for art and unique crafts, and this week while browsing I came across a talented seller creating colorful and cheery mobiles! The Starcraft, a shop dedicated to paper art, is cranking out some serious mood-boosting mobiles that caught my eye immediately. Im always drawn in by bright colors, and these hanging works of art are so vibrant I just had to share them with you. Take a look below for some of my favorites.

In showers of starry delight, the vela multi, shown above, have bright bursting colors that will fill up your home and create a conversation piece.

The streamlined antila multi reminds me of a string of shooting stars.

Shown above, in curly-cues of sweet pink and red is the mingling meteors mobile. This beauty is available in colors of your choice to customize your swirling home galaxy!

I love anything rainbow and this sweet cluster of stars and spheres is the perfect colorful component to a drab white wall. The ursa minor multi with spheres might just be my newest addition to my home.

What do you think of these beautiful mobiles?

Lulu's Loves... Sienna!

When you order from Lulus.com, Sienna packs your cute new items and ships them to you in your lucky LuLu*s box!

Like most of our employees, she has creative side that she expresses through button-making. She has been doing ceramics for about 10 years after gaining a huge interest in college and now satisfies her inner artist by designing unique buttons from little fried eggs to beautiful fruit-inspired pieces. You can check out her collection at siennaorlando.etsy.com.

Sienna grew up as a farmer's daughter so, in keeping with her love for the animals and plants that surrounded her, she uses recycled/re-fashionable materials in her crafts. She also loves baking and cooking as seen in her cute little cupcakes and strawberry buttons! Her favorite button she's made so far is currently in the works: a little piece of toast with a tiny pad of butter.

What's her favorite item on Lulus.com? The Crusoe Pleat Romper [sold out!]
