Shag Carpet Slippers

The seller's brilliant description, worth every cent:
Do you miss the 70s? Me neither. But doesn’t walking on shag carpeting feel really great? These handmade slippers are made from two pieces of high quality, left-over shag carpeting with strips of leather to hold everything together. They keep your toes plenty warm plus it feels like walking on a big bushy sheep dog!!! These pictured are our personal pair. For sizing your own, take a pair of your sandals or shoes and trace one on a piece of paper, scan it, and email it to me. Hurry before shag comes back in style and we can’t afford it anymore!

US$15 from tigerfite at Etsy.

Reborn Rubbish - Arbor Angel

The seller writes:
Reborn Rubbish pins and magnets are playful little guys happy to have been rescued from garbage cans & landfills. Reborn Rubbish dolls are similar, but too big to wear. They can, however, hang out in your house, demonstrating your exquisite taste as well as your concern for the environment.
Spare a landfill, hang it in your house instead.

Cleo and Helen Pendants

You have probably met these charming siblings already, the time when you had a cheese plate with a glass of wine before bed and had dreams of doll faces with sparkling eyes, set in resin and sprinkled with glitter. Some may say they were nightmares but we know they weren't, not until Cleo started nibbling on someone's eyeball and you woke up, slightly damp.

US$9 for Helen and US$20 for Cleo from gjarvisjewelryetc at Etsy.

Victorian Gothic Human Tooth Pendant

The difference between an artist and a normal person is that you didn't save your fallen molars, did you. You didn't see their decorative potential, not even when the dentist got those big tongs out and said 'this might sting a bit'.

Nicky's Favourite: Crazy Chip Bag Headpiece

This luminescent headpiece was sent to us by a dear reader, Nicky. We think it will look rather fetch on her blonde locks, especially when matched with a dainty Pringles container instead of a clutch. Recycle chic.

Brassiere Bag - Le Rouge et le Noir

"This original bag celebrates the incredible engineering of the modern brassiere" and what a celebration it is! We like that this bag can be used as a decoy to escape bar sleazes - just pop it on a stool and off you go. He'll be too drawn to the bra to notice the lack of head.
