Hey Everyone,

It’s your favorite guest blogger back again. I was out of town last week, but I am back with more Home and Garden tips for you!

This week I have for you these darling cleaning gloves I found on the same website I was raving about the last time, www.etsy.com. These gloves are made and sold by Julie Meyer. Just take a look at them!!

These gloves are fashionable as well as functional. Made from a latex-free material called Nyplex that looks and feels like regular rubber gloves. Each one has a comfy, plush lining and is trimmed with an incredibly chic oilcloth cuff.

They are $12.50 a pair and come in different sizes depending on the design. I have the black and white gingham pair for doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen and I have the blue pair for cleaning the bathroom. It matches my shower curtain.

With these gloves you could have a pair to match every room in your home!

Hello everyone,

It’s your favorite guest blogger back with another fabulous decorating idea. At the end of last year I was an intern for a wonderful band called The Dresden Dolls. They were in the process of looking for some unique artists to make some rockin’ band merchandise for them. That is when I discovered the website www.etsy.com. Have any of you seen this site? If you are crafty and love all things handmade, this is the site for you.

That is exactly where I found this week’s Home and Garden find. I am a vegetarian and am against animal cruelty of any kind. Hunting for sport is something else I am not a big fan of.

That’s why I was so happy to find this artist who makes these incredibly beautiful and unique mounted deer heads out of wallpaper and resin (which is just a fancy word for plastic).

For those of you not familiar with Etsy, each artist on the site has their own profile and their own store where they can sell their creations. This artist’s store name is Ruby’s Lounge.

Take a look at these:

Black & White Deer Head

Colorful Deer Head

Look at this! The Big, Bad Wolf!

Ruby proudly advertises that “No deer were harmed in the making of this craft!”.

Each deer is made to order, so allow 2-3 weeks for production. Each one is around $345. To purchase or browse Ruby’s Lounge for a custom made Deer Head, click here.

These are the only deer heads I definitely wouldn’t mind displaying in my home.
