making things pretty…

vroom, vroom, vroomy vroom vroom…

So, the boy loves cars. He has a hand-me-down garage-sale Little Tikes Cozy Coupe that he adores.

But he is a big boy and soon we’ll have to fold him in half to get him into his car, so I’ve been looking around for replacements. And have stumbled upon the wonderful world of metal pedal cars.  

Oy, look at this orange one! Wouldn’t you love to race that around a driveway?! Or would you? Or, more importantly, would a two-year-old? Or, actually MORE importantly would a three- or four-year-old? Because these things are a bit spendy. The cheapest I’ve seen the orange car for is $135 on ebay. Some of the others run more towards $250-300. So does anyone have experience with pedal cars? Did your kids like them, and like them for awhile? Or did they move on to bikes and forget the car, leaving it as just one more thing to hog garage space?

and speaking of non-affordable art…

How amazing is this little glass Pulcini bird by Vistosi?

ummm, yep, just what I need… a 40-year-old $2,000 glass bird. Maybe I’ll just start printing out pictures of all this cool, breakable stuff and line a shelf with it. And call it an installation.(heh, I didn’t go to art school for nothin’!)
