Five things that I love



1)

DUH...

Ok, Cadbury Mini Eggs did not actually make the list, 
but maybe they should have. I can eat the hell out of a family-size bag.

Pet portrait hand-carved rubber stamps by Kazue. 

Just send her a photo of your animal, and she will set right to work on
a stamp made just for you and your crazy geekiness. Actually, I am flirting 
with the idea of getting a couple of rat stamps, myself. Although, If I 
used them, I would risk looking like a crazy rat lady.
Wait...

Visit Kazue's Etsy store Girls are Crying.



P.S. Kazue also makes couples stamps.


2)

The enchanted S can be found in the Fafe Mountains of Portugal. Built in 1974, the home is nestled between huge boulders and built of concrete and granite. According to 
Stephen Messenger of treehugger.com"Although the house may seem rustic, it is not lacking in amenities, which include a fireplace and a swimming pool--carved out of one of the large rocks". Unfortunately, increased popularity has caused the current owner to move elsewhere, as well as installing extensive security precautions.

Super Mamika, 2010
French photographer Sacha Goldberger was concerned that his 
91 year old grandmother Frederika was feeling depressed. 
The answer: a superhero photo shoot, of course.

According to Eugene Kim of My Modern Met, "Frederika was born in Budapest 20 years before World War II. During the war, at the peril of her own life, she courageously saved the lives of ten people. When asked how, Goldberger told us "she hid the Jewish people she knew, moving them around to different places every day." As a survivor of Nazism and Communism, she then immigrated away from Hungary to France, forced by the Communist regime to leave her homeland illegally or face death". 

So it seems that Frederika does not require a superhero costume.
