These are a few of my favorite things

I haven't been bitten by a dog, stung by a bee, or fealt particularly sad lately but none the less, I wanted to share some of my favorite things with you.

Mr. Zebra. I recently bought this statue at an antique market in Copenhagen. I have no idea why I like it so much, but I do. I think he is incredibly handsome. He lives in and amongst my orchids in the picture window.

The snail lamp. This is something we bought on our trip to Berlin in January. It was only 50 Euros! It's made of some kind of strange semi-mirrored plastic that is slightly transparent. At the time I bought it Morten was rolling his eyes because he thought it was weird and tacky but once we got it home he loved it.
My rabbit fur lined hat. I'm not against wearing fur on principal but I am against the practice of raising things like foxes, which are anti-social, in rows of tiny cages and then feeding their meat back to the next generation of unfortunate foxes. However, since rabbits are social creatures and since we eat their meat, in my opinion wearing their fur bears the same ethical responsibility as wearing cow leather. I LOVE this hat because it keeps my ears toasty warm but doesn't give my hair static electricity.

Eva Trio egg cups. I eat a hard boiled egg for breakfast about 4 days a week on average. I love them. I love them even more when I eat them out of these egg cups/plates. The egg is offset on the plate so there is actually enough room for the shell, spoon, and some salt and pepper.
