Fanciful Friday

On 7 August, 2009 · 9 Comments · In Fancy

Surprise! It’s Friday! I really have no idea where my week went, but I suspect you’ll find it under a pile of eraser leavings and pencil shavings. I keep a tin full of them, I’m not even kidding. As for the picture, I wanted to share just how fancy I am. Even when brushing one’s teeth one must maintain a semblance of fanciness. Mine can be found in the spittle of toothpaste on my upper lip. D: If you’re on dailybooth you should add me!

Enough of that, how about this:


• Esther Coombs does amazing doodling on tea cups. If you know me, you already know that I’m so hot for teacups AND doodling, so I was rather struck with the vapours when I came across Esther’s work. You can buy her doodly crockery on etsy but this lovely specimen is long sold :(


• I love most of Steven Meisel‘s photographs, and this one is tres fancy. Neat hedges? Check. Black gown? Check? Incredible headwear? Check? Secateurs? Check. Rightio, let’s go bask in our fabulousness.


• This is my type of coffee table book. You can call me an ironic jerk, I don’t care.

Kathleen's iphone is a whimsybox
• My lovely friend Kathleen, who is a fellow fancy lady, took this photo with her iPhone. I was shocked. What kind of world do we live in where most of us can have access to such amazing technology? A PRETTY AWESOME ONE. Who’d want to live in the past? Certainly not me. Of course, that’s my whimsyfscking type over the top, I couldn’t resist!

I call this
• These are my feet, totally reeking of fancitude. Sorry about the blurry picture old chaps, but I don’t have a snazzy iPhone :( I went to the shops and people stared at me. This is just how I roll. I can’t decide whether to call this look “Nana Chic” or “Nana Glam” – how about you decide?

    The tea cups Esther doodles on are gorgeous, but I’m not sure they are for everyday usage. I’m concocting all sorts of ideas about collaborating with a ceramic artist now, so I can make properly usable doodly tea cups!

    They dig you too :P
    I’ve got ideas to expand it but no time to go and take ~~whimsical~~ photos just yet!

    I have these moments of anxiety when I worry that I won’t be able to think of any more witty captions. ha!

    On Esther’s etsy site she says that they aren’t suitable for dishwashers. I think they’re meant to be more objects d’art if you know what I mean.

    RE 3 – PLS SEE FIRST PARA. I really do worry about not being funny. How tragic.
